China-Gel Aulief Pain Relief Cream Arthritis & Muscle Rub for Sore Muscles & Joint Pain, Neck, Knee & Back Aches, Premium Mint Green Topical Gel, 8 oz Jar

glad to find the China Gel again, now in new name. one of the few topicals that really helps with muscle pain.

Really helps my husband's neck arthritic pain and we had tried multiple other pain relievers, both pills and ointments.

I absolutely love this product! It was recommended by my PT. It works great and is fast acting! It has a rather strong scent, but it wears off quickly. It's wonderful on my aching shoulder muscles and also on my hip. I've recommended it to several friends.

Works well need to order more

The title tells the tale of this product. I ordered it for myself because I suffer from arthritis (not RA -- just run-of-the-mill arthritis), but cannot treat it with anti-inflammatories, meds and most other topical treatments (including Voltarin). I even tried Blue Emu -- which is similar to this -- but not quite the same. When I first tried the product, my husband commented that the aroma "burned his eyes" -- I know that sounds weird, but I don't know how else to describe it. It's has a strong smell and the fumes can affect people with sensitive eyes. Having said that, the addition of the "lavender" scent really makes the strong fumes more pleasant! Anyway, because this is made with aloe vera, it feels a little sticky going on -- BUT -- it dries pretty fast and the stickiness goes away. It's actually pretty moisturizing, which is nice for something with alcohol in it The initial sensation is cold, following by tingly, and then almost warm. It lasts for quite awhile (especially if you slather it on...which you probably shouldn't do.) Note: I tend to overdo things, so, my motto is "if less is more, imagine how much more, more is." Don't use more. You don't need it. A little does go a long way. Just massage it into the area that hurts -- and don't rub your eyes. Seriously. Then, let the China Gel work its magic. The price might seem like a lot, but when you've tried everything else, $25 and change doesn't cost a fortune, but really is a treasure. Good luck and I hope it works as well for you as it has for my entire family (yes, even my husband -- I just put a towel over it so he doesn't suffer from the smell!)

The natural ingredients help make it feel and smell great! My skin feels soft while it quickly works on fighting off pain and discomfort! The smell also helps with headaches when trying to fight off without medication!

Helps relive muscle pain.

My husband says product works very well to relieve his leg pain caused by neuropathy.
