Corydalis Relief Salve

A Gentle Herbal Salve for Sensitive People

Corydalis Relief Salve is a traditional herbal salve built around Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis), one of the most widely used herbs in Chinese medicine, blended with resins and botanical oils and made to be rubbed in where you need it. We added Copaiba, a warm, resinous Amazonian oil, to our classic formula. Available in jar, stick, and travel size.

Gentle by Design

Most rubs announce themselves with a strong medicinal smell, a burning heat, or an icy chill. This one doesn't. Corydalis Relief Salve has a soft, mild scent and no heating or cooling sensation, so you can put it on before work, before bed, or around other people without anyone noticing. It's a good fit for people who find menthol, camphor, or capsaicin rubs too much.

Who It's For

• People who are sensitive to strong smells or to hot and cold rubs
• Tired, achy muscles and stiff joints after a long day or a workout
• Backs, necks, and shoulders that carry tension
• Anyone who wants a traditional herbal topical as part of a daily self-care routine

How to Use

Massage a small amount into the area until absorbed. Use as often as needed. For external use only.
