Pain Receptor Inhibiting Salve

The core of any nerve pain falls to the pain receptors. Pain receptors are the things responsible for carrying the messages of pain to our brain. This simple DIY Pain Blocking Salve will help to desensitize your pain receptors creating lasting relief from pain. The warming nature of this salve should not be taken for granted. DIY Herbs recommends that you try a small amount first on a small area to get accustomed to the sensation before considering use on a larger portion of your body.

Some have experienced 3-5 weeks of lessened pain following a single application of this Pain Receptor Inhibiting Salve. The active chemical of wintergreen essential oil and one of the active chemicals in birch essential oil are very similar to aspirin. Please use both ingredients with caution and never orally ingest birch or wintergreen essential oils. I hope you enjoy this simple DIY Pain Receptor Inhibiting Salve.
