Cooling Hot Menthol Rub – Deep Heat Salve for Muscles & Joints
Looking for a deep heat salve that actually targets the source of your discomfort—not just the surface sting? Our Cooling Hot Menthol Rub is a handcrafted, herbal-powered solution that delivers fast-acting support when you need it most.
This deep heat menthol salve blends cayenne, ginger, and organic menthol crystals for a natural icy-hot effect that supports circulation, eases tension, and promotes recovery—without synthetic ingredients.
Cayenne boosts circulation and oxygen flow to sore muscles—perfect for athletes and active bodies. Menthol provides a cooling sensation that helps distract pain signals and soothe inflammation, while ginger supports relaxation and flexibility by reducing stiffness and discomfort.
We infuse freshly-ground frankincense resin to soothe inflammation, while arnica eases swelling and joint tension. St. John’s Wort targets nerve pain and spasms, working together to deliver deep, root-level relief for comfort and mobility.
Whether you're a training athlete, managing daily stiffness, or simply sore from life (hello, gardening and desk jobs), this mentholated rub is your go-to for tension, tightness, and joint discomfort. We've heard from customers who love it for lower spine tension, post-workout soreness, and that creeping nerve ache that flares up in colder weather.
What makes it different? This isn’t a band-aid balm. It’s deep herbal therapy in a jar. No petroleum or fillers. No shortcuts. Every herb is organic and intentionally chosen.

Key Ingredients
Menthol Crystals
Particularly beneficial to athletes, applying menthol to the skin produces a cooling sensation, which can distract pain signals and provide a numbing effect. It immediately addresses sore muscles by promoting relaxation, reducing swelling and spasms, and improving blood circulation, which can aid in the delivery of oxygen to the muscles, promoting faster recovery.*
Cayenne & Ginger
Synergistically, Cayenne and Ginger are known for their warming, therapeutic benefits. Cayenne contains capsaicin, an analgesic that helps reduce the sensation of pain. Cayenne can widen blood vessels and enhance blood flow, improving oxygen delivery to aid in muscle repair and recovery. Similarly, Ginger’s properties alleviate muscle strain, stemming from its ability to modulate pain perception and inhibit inflammation. Together, they are used to promote muscle relaxation and relieve stiffness, helping aid flexibility and mobility.*
Frankincense Tears
Frankincense tears are the sappy resin from the exotic Boswellia tree. We grind and infuse the actual resin separately from all the other herbs in this formula. This ensures the maximum constituents are extracted, leaving a golden oil that works as an anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, which are useful in healing and pain.*
Arnica
Traditionally used to soothe bruises, muscle strains and sprains, Arnica contains pain-relieving properties that can be used as a natural analgesic. The anti-inflammatory compounds in Arnica can help reduce swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Arnica has been proven to be as helpful as medicated creams such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in relieving the symptoms of arthritis.*
St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort is the ideal herb for pain, especially shooting pain, muscle strain, and neuropathic pain. St. John’s wort is the herbalist’s go-to for painful issues such as neuralgias, sciatica, Bell’s Palsy, head and spine trauma, pinched nerves, after surgical and dental work, as well as injuries to any area that is rich in nerve endings (Winston, 2007; D. LaLuzerne, 2013; McIntyre, 1996). As an antispasmodic, St. John’s Wort helps relax muscle spasms by the pain associated with spasms and menstrual cramps. St. John’s Wort is wonderful to turn to when muscles are sore from over-exertion easing shoulder, neck, and back pain (D. LaLuzerne, 2013).*
