Hemp Oil: An important ingredient in joint salves for its excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Its rich omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids penetrate deep into the skin and modulate the inflammatory response, reducing redness, stiffness and pain in the joint area. Hemp oil is also rich in phytosterols and antioxidants, which can relieve oxidative stress and protect joint tissues from free radical damage. In addition, its good penetration allows the ointment to be absorbed into the skin more quickly and promotes local blood circulation for faster joint recovery.

Turmeric: performs particularly well in the area of joint health, thanks largely to its active ingredient curcumin. Curcumin is a potent natural anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory factors and reduces pain and stiffness caused by arthritis, rheumatism and soft tissue injuries. It not only reduces chronic inflammation in the joints, but also prevents further damage to cartilage and joint tissue by inflammatory factors. In addition, turmeric stimulates blood circulation, improves joint flexibility and accelerates the repair of damaged tissues. The antioxidant effect of curcumin also protects joint cells from oxidative damage, thus slowing down the process of joint degeneration.

Aloe Vera: its main role in joint salves is calming and restorative. Its rich Aloe Vera polysaccharides penetrate deep into the skin to provide a long-lasting moisturising and soothing effect, reducing the dryness and tightness of the skin caused by inflammation. The anti-inflammatory components in Aloe Vera further reduce the inflammatory response in the joints, helping to relieve pain and swelling while promoting cellular repair and accelerating the healing of damaged tissues. It also enhances the ointment’s penetration, allowing other active ingredients to enter the joint area faster to do their work. In addition, Aloe Vera has a strong cooling effect that provides instant relief from heat and pain, making the affected area more comfortable.

Camellia: Rich in oleic acid, squalene and polyphenols, which act as nourishing and repairing agents in joint salves. The high permeability of oleic acid helps the active ingredients reach deeper into the joints faster, relieving stiffness and discomfort. Squalene, a potent antioxidant, neutralises free radicals, reducing oxidative damage to joint tissues and slowing down joint degeneration. Camellia also strengthens the skin barrier function, making the skin softer and providing some antibacterial action to prevent skin irritation or infection from prolonged use of the ointment.

Arnica: is a recognised natural ingredient for reducing swelling and pain and plays an important role in joint salves. It significantly reduces swelling caused by joint sprains, strains or arthritis and accelerates the absorption of blood stasis. Its active ingredients, flavonoids and sesquiterpene lactones, can promote local blood circulation, so that the joints get more oxygen and nutrient supply and accelerate the speed of tissue repair. Meanwhile, Arnica has a strong analgesic effect, relieving stiffness and pain in joints caused by inflammation or injury, allowing for greater freedom of movement. It also reduces lactic acid build-up and helps relieve muscle fatigue, which is particularly suitable for joint discomfort caused by post-exercise or prolonged standing.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): A key ingredient for joint health, MSM is effective in promoting cartilage and connective tissue repair due to its rich content of bioactive sulphur.MSM inhibits the release of inflammatory factors and reduces the inflammatory response of the joints, whilst enhancing the secretion of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints and reduces the discomfort caused by friction. It also accelerates the repair of tendons and ligaments, reducing stiffness and pain caused by overuse or damage. In addition, MSM is important for antioxidant protection of the joints. It reduces the damage caused by oxidative stress, thus slowing down the process of joint degeneration, resulting in healthier and more flexible joints.
