This FBT body cream-balm is a topical skincare product, not a medicine. It is intended to be massaged into the skin around the knees, shoulders, back, elbows or other tension-prone areas when those areas feel overworked, stiff or less mobile. Typical situations include after exercise or sport, after gardening or other repetitive physical activity, after long hours at a desk, or during seasonal discomfort affecting joints or muscles.
The formula combines comfrey extract, chondroitin sulfate, menthol and aromatic oils of eucalyptus, juniper and cypress. Comfrey has a long history in herbal use for skin over bruised, strained and heavily loaded areas; in this balm it is valued for compounds that help keep the skin conditioned. Chondroitin sulfate is included in an external form to complement the balm's overall purpose. Menthol creates a first fresh touch followed by a feeling of looseness in the applied area, while the aromatic oils support the massage experience.
The cream texture spreads well and absorbs without the heaviness of richer ointments. For that reason it is practical to use during the day or in the evening, either before a period of activity or as a massage aid at the end of the day.
If you have persistent or severe symptoms, or if discomfort is accompanied by visible swelling, redness or fever, consult a medical specialist instead of relying only on this product.
