Natural Pain Relief after Hiking and Doing Sports!

Updated: Nov 20, 2022


Doing sports is great. It’s healthy and keeps us positive. A whole day of hiking gives you not only a relaxed mind; joint and muscle pains also come with the package, not to mention the irritable insect bites (especially mosquito bites) that are highly likely to happen during your hikes. What if there is something you can do about it? In a natural, organic way of course!


ALL YOU NEED IS THIS VOLCANIC BALM

Distillerie Saint-Hilaire (previously called De Saint Hilaire) Muscle & Joint Pain Relieving Volcanic Balm is exactly what you need after a sporty activity. This Volcanic Balm, the best-selling product of Distillerie Saint-Hilaire, has many active ingredients that can effectively calm and soothe joint and muscle pains. What’s also great about this balm is that it penetrates the skin easily after a moment of massage, so you will feel its magic almost in an instant after applying. Besides, its healing properties are also very effective for insect bite and nettle burn, making the balm a hikers’ favourite.


WHAT DO ITS ACTIVE INGREDIENTS DO?

99% of its ingredients are of natural origin and 93% are organic. The making of the volcanic balm has remained unchanged for 30 years, using fresh and active ingredients harvested on the volcanic soil of Auvergne in France to help fight against inflammation. Here lists some of the ingredients and their properties:

  • Arnica flower water (hydrosol): recognised for its anti-inflammatory and circulatory properties;

  • Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) flower water: soothing, promote digestion, and have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects;

  • Hyssopus officinalis (hyssop): antibacterial and antifungal, it helps with cell renewal;

  • Spiraea ulmaria flower extract (Meadowsweet): rich in salicylates, mainly used for its circulatory, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects;

  • Juniper essential oil: antirheumatic;

  • Peppermint essential oil: invigorating, anti-nausea, the cooling effect of menthol numbs pains;

  • Yarrow essential oil: has hemostatic and healing compounds that relieve your most persistent pain.


Almost forgot, the balm fights against headaches too. Massage the temples and the neck with just a little amount will suffice. Be honest, with all its perks, isn’t it a must-have for those who love doing sports?
