DESCRIPTIONThis invention replaces the practice of utilizing synthesized salicin compounds for use as anti-inflammatory components in topical pain relief compositions through the use of naturally occurring salicin in the form of salix alba (white willow bark) botanicals. This invention is a compound of naturally occurring botanicals identified in the Natural Pharmacopeia as individually exhibiting anti-inflammatory and/or analgesic properties. The compound is unique in that the addition of Helicrysum Gymnocephalum appears to enhance the absorption of the salicin contained in Salix Alba thus providing a superior product formerly unattainable using naturally occurring salicins. This combination of Helicrysum Gymnocephalum essential oil and Salix Alba extract when combined with Eucalyptus Globules essential oil, Lavandula Angustifolia essential oil, Pelargonium Graveoleus essential oil, Mentha viridis essential oil, Pimenta Racemosa, Cymbopogon flexuosus, Camphor, and Mentha Avrensis together constitute this unique invention.
The resulting compound is then incorporated into a bulk carrier material for proper dilution and stability, and for use as a convenient delivery mechanism. The resulting compound is a shelf stable off-white viscous cream with a menthol/botanical like odor.
The invention is utilized by applying small amounts directly to areas of the human body affected by various types of pain.
