What's the best way to apply this balm for self-massage on stiff shoulders or knees?

For self-massage, start with a pea-sized amount of balm on clean, dry skin. Warm it between your fingers first, then apply it to the targeted area—like the shoulders or around the knee joint. Massage gently using your fingertips or palms, focusing on the surrounding muscles rather than pressing directly on bony prominences. The camphor and menthol will create the warming-cooling sensation, and the beeswax provides glide so your hands move smoothly without pulling the skin.

This balm is often chosen after sport, long hours on the feet, or when movement feels stiff. A short, gentle massage for a few minutes is usually sufficient. Avoid applying immediately before or after a hot shower, as this can intensify the sensation. Do not use on broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after application to prevent accidental contact with sensitive areas.
