In topical products designed for muscles and joints, plant extracts like Boswellia and Ginseng are traditionally included for their complementary properties, not as medical treatments. Boswellia, known from Eastern herbal traditions, is often valued in such formulas for its potential to help reduce the feeling of strain and puffiness in soft tissues when applied locally. Ginseng extract is included for its toning plant compounds, which may contribute to the formula's overall character.
Think of them as part of the balm's complete profile: the capsicum, cinnamon, and camphor provide the primary warming and stimulating sensation, while extracts like Boswellia, Ginseng, and the aromatic fir and tea tree oils are part of a complex blend aimed at creating a targeted product for external use after physical strain or stiffness. The olive oil base, along with tocopherol (Vitamin E) and retinol (Vitamin A), also helps maintain skin condition during regular application. The product is a cosmetic balm intended for external comfort.
