Bee Soothed

DESCRIPTION:

 

Bee Soothed indeed! The essential oils contained in this blend are traditionally used to relax muscle tissue, reduce inflammation and pain, release toxins, and dissipate physical, mental, and emotional stress.(1,2,3) Inhaling these essential oils stimulates the olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity and stimulates the limbic system, resulting in calming, balancing, and synergistic benefits.(4)

 

Bee Soothed also contains shea butter, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and healing properties.(5) Coconut oil, also in the base, has skin repair, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity.(6)

TESTIMONIALS:

 

“In November of 2019 I was working and twisted my knee, tearing my meniscus. The swelling and pain in my knee had been very severe. After using the product [Bee Soothed], the swelling of my knee subsided. The pain was actually bearable. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to get this product to help me through this painful time. I do not have to use a whole lot in order to get results. It actually soaked down into my muscles and I could feel the swelling going away. I also used this product after surgery to help with the healing.”—J.V.O.

 

“I have had a sore left foot for nearly a month. My primary care doctor saw me and diagnosed me as having plantar fasciitis. I’ve been doing various stretching routines, have been using high arch orthotics, and I fairly recently have been applying Bee Soothed to my foot three times a day. I find that after massaging it into my heel and arch of my foot toward the toes, it relieves the pain a bit and seems to allow me to better perform the stretching. I’m trying to avoid any steroid shots or more radical treatment, and I think this balm (which is a proprietary blend of essential oils) is helping me do just that. I think continued use of Bee Soothed and continuing my exercises may help to avoid unnecessary or any invasive treatment.”—B.H.
