Juniper Cosmetic Balm for Tired and Sore Feet
After a long and tiring day, your feet may get sore and swollen. You can use this balm to relieve them and prevent problems such as corns, calluses and varicose veins. The product improves microcirculation, strengthens capillary walls, and produces an anti-sclerotic effect.
The key active ingredients of the balm are juniper, horse chestnut, comfrey and bischofite. Juniper strengthens the walls of blood vessels and has a soothing effect. Horst chestnut has been used to treat varicose veins for decades. Comfrey has regenerative properties; it speeds up the healing of bruises and minor skin injuries. Bischofite (a magnesium-rich mineral) boosts blood and lymph circulation, reduces swelling and inflammation.
Warming Cosmetic Balm with Bee Products
Bee products (beeswax, bee venom, propolis, royal jelly) are widely used in traditional medicine because of their impressive range of useful properties. Thanks to them, this cosmetic balm relieves joint and muscle pain as well as prevents lower back problems.
The product has a warming, relaxing, anti-swelling, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. One of its key active ingredients is bee venom. In small doses, it relieves pain and improves blood circulation. In addition, the balm contains royal jelly and propolis. They have analgesic and anti-sclerotic properties. The effect of bee products is enhanced by herbal extracts such as mountain arnica extract, wood sanicle extract and comfrey extract.

These essential oils relieve inflammation in the upper respiratory tract, make breathing easier, help to clear a stuffy nose and clean mucus from the lungs, produce an analgesic and antiseptic effect.
