As a runner and graduate student, I basically experience chronic muscle aches. I tried everything from Bengay to Tiger Balm to Icy Hot to help manage the aches and pains, but nothing has been able to bring relief the way Harmony Naturals Snowball cream has! Its the consistency of Tiger Balm and is packed with menthol to bring instant cooling relief to your aching muscles. Ive used it after workouts and races while stretching and have had my husband rub it into my shoulders and back in the evenings. Ive yet to dabble in aromatherapy or other lotions and balms, but I love that you can test each of the products in their office! I used to think effective essential oils had to be pricey, but Harmony Naturals has demonstrated that they most definitely can be affordable!
