In the world of topical pain relief, there are numerous choices. The plethora of products can be dizzying, but armed with the right information, a consumer can be much more savvy about his or her purchase. Sifting through product ingredient lists, one can find that many of these analgesics are fraught with chemicals, artificial ingredients, and potentially hazardous substances such as parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, diethanolamine (DEA), propylene glycol (PG), and phthalates.
The good news is that there are a growing number of manufacturers that have answered the call for healthier alternatives. Battle Balm® is a company that has gone one step further and created a plant-based topical analgesic that is both friendly to the body as well as to the planet.
Battle Balm® is an adaptation of the ancient Chinese herbal formulas called dit da jow (or “hit fall wine”) historically used to help heal the wounds of Chinese martial artists. Using a carefully selected balance of pain alleviating herbs, Battle Balm® has created a formula unlike any other before it. 20 plant ingredients are combined using both traditional and modern herbal techniques to create Battle Balm®. Originally created by martial artists for martial artists, Battle Balm® has been literally battle tested and is now reaching out to treat more general pain sufferers.
The benefits of a plant-based herbal analgesic such as Battle Balm®, are many fold. Clinical studies have shown that plants have numerous medicinal properties. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assays have marked plant molecular compounds and allowed scientists to study each one individually. Therefore, a wealth of data exists for plant use in medicine. Battle Balm® has deeply researched the clinical and empirical data to refine its unique balm blend.
The synergistic combination of Battle Balm® herbs can be used to treat conditions such as arthritis, back pain (lumbago), neck pain, muscular strains, spasms, bruises, contusions, tendonitis, edema, circulatory problems, and more. But Battle Balm® admits their formula is not just for treating pain. There are benefits of using Battle Balm® that go beyond that of a typical analgesic. As per their website, Battle Balm® can be used to naturally and safely nourish and moisten cracked skin, open congested nasal passages, reduce itching from bug bites, soothe burns, improve athlete’s foot, reduce keloid scar tissue, and repel insects. If that wasn’t enough, Battle Balm® contains natural vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to support skin healing and pliability.
Battle Balm® has been independent laboratory tested for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties per USP 51 challenge against the most common strains. Battle Balm® has been shown to be effective against staph (Staphylococcus aureus), E. coli (Escherichia coli), pseudomonas aeruginosa, candida albicans, and aspergillus niger.
Lastly, Battle Balm® is sustainable and eco-friendly. All of the ingredients are plant-based and are grown with concern for the environment. The Battle Balm® company’s desire for a superior eco-friendly product trickles down to even the product labels, which are made from corn, another renewable resource.
Currently, there are 3 versions of Battle Balm®: Original Strength, Extra Strength, and Demon Strength. Each version contains varying quantities of FDA approved ingredients for pain relief. Product pricing start at $8.95 and can be purchased directly from http://BattleBalm.com.
