This hemp root balm is 100% organic NZ made. It has shea and cacao butters to set and organic essential oils added at the end of the infusing process.

Ingredients:
Hemp roots, coconut oil, kawa kawa leaves, lavendar, comfrey, calendula flowers and borage. Essential oils of frankincense, lavender wild orange and lemongrass.I use this balm for my arthritic knee and it definitely helps.

It is used to improve oxygen intake in lungs rubbed on the chest before bed and during anxious times, for inflammation and painful joints, to reduce anxiety and insomnia rubbed on back of neck and soles of feet. The roots have been used for thousands of years in a healing role. Any skin irritations and pain is reduced using this as needed. Rub on as many times as needed. I like to let it melt in the jar by leaving out of the fridge then really give my knee a good dose. Great for moisturiser, bruising rashes and bites. Please contact, I can send courier for you or pickup is welcome.
