SOS! What’s in your first aid kit?

As a child, I can remember running to my mother when I scraped my knee in sports or would have a nauseated stomach. She would caringly walk me to her cupboard of potions, slings, and healing ointments. Somehow, she knew exactly what to do and what to apply— along with a hug— to make it all better. I can recall the deep soothing inhale of eucalyptus and the ease of fennel and ginger on my nervous and nauseous stomach.

Essential oils not only have the power to bring me back to these nostalgic feel-better moments, they can also effectively support the body without any unwanted synthetics. Today, I still turn to those tried and true ingredients to help me on my journey to feeling better, and have put together a list of our favourite products to help you arm yourself against aches and pains.

Extra Strength:

Made extra strong and extra large, this remedy was formulated with big relief in mind. Extra Strength is a stronger option for more urgent and acute pain to complement our Pain Release which was alternatively designed for daily aches and pains. This product is the result of years of research and testing, leading us to what we believe is the most efficacious, hardest working, 100% plant based pain product available.
