Muscle, joint and nerve recovery stick.

Recover is our Kootenay-inspired take on a traditional “tiger balm." An herbal tallow balm created for sore and overworked muscles, joint pain and stiffness, minor aches, bruising, sprains and strains, and areas of nerve tension.

Heartleaf arnica and St. John’s wort grow abundantly in the woods around our home here in the Kootenays. Arnica has a long history of topical use for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits, particularly for sore muscles, joint discomfort, bruising and overworked tissues. St. John’s wort complements arnica beautifully, traditionally used for tenderness, nerve discomfort and tingling or irritated nerves.

For Recover, we wild harvest both heartleaf arnica and St. John’s wort here in the Kootenays, add locally grown Arnica montana, and, once dried, slowly infuse the herbs into our suet tallow. With tallow’s natural affinity with our skin, it makes the perfect base for these traditional herbs and an all-natural companion to your recovery routine.

A touch of wild-harvested sweet birch oil completes the balm, adding its distinctive fresh, wintergreen-like scent while keeping the naturally herbal aroma of the infusions at the forefront.

Glide directly onto sore muscles, stiff joints or areas of tension and massage in as needed.
