Muscle Spasms (Espasmos Musculares) – Ointment

A handcrafted topical herbal ointment traditionally used as part of body care for areas experiencing muscular tension and discomfort. This formula brings together comfrey root and leaf, turmeric, ginger, St. John’s wort, calendula, and rue with apricot and sweet almond oils, beeswax, and menthol crystals.

Botanical Information

Comfrey root and leaf (Symphytum spp.), turmeric (Curcuma longa), ginger (Zingiber officinale), St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), calendula (Calendula spp.), and rue (Ruta spp.) are combined in a rich oil-and-wax base with menthol crystals.

Traditional Herbal Context

Comfrey has a long history of topical use in traditional herbalism. Calendula and St. John’s wort have also traditionally been incorporated into topical herbal preparations, while ginger, turmeric, and menthol contribute warming or cooling aromatic qualities to the formulation.

Suggested Use

For external use only. Massage a small amount onto the desired area as part of a topical body-care routine. Avoid contact with the eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin. Wash hands after application.

Ingredients

Comfrey root, comfrey leaf, turmeric, ginger, St. John’s wort, calendula, rue, menthol crystals, apricot oil, almond oil, sweet almond oil, and beeswax.

Precautions

For external use only. Because this formula contains rue and St. John’s wort, avoid exposing treated skin to direct sunlight or other strong UV exposure. Rue is a known photosensitizer, and topical St. John’s wort may also cause significant skin reactions following sun exposure.

Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to any ingredient.
