When is the best time to use it: before activity, after, or both?

This balm is designed for targeted use when muscles or joints feel stiff, overworked, or sluggish. Many users integrate it into an active lifestyle, applying it as part of a massage step. There are different approaches depending on your goal. Using it before activity—such as before a workout, gardening, or a long walk—can provide a warming sensation that may help the area feel more prepared for movement and less tight.

Applying it after activity is also common, especially when areas like knees, shoulders, or ankles feel loaded or stiff. The massage application itself adds a loosening sensation, while the warming effect from the balm can be soothing. Some users also find it helpful during periods of reduced mobility or after long periods in one position. It is not a substitute for proper warm-up, cool-down, or medical advice. If you have chronic conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a specialist before use.
