Arkopharma Phytorhuma Devils Claw Massage Gel 80ml £6.45 ARKOPHARMA PHYTORHUMA MASSAGE GEL contains 30% of active Devil’s Claw extract, is non - greasy and is rapidly absorbed into the skin giving a warming sensation which both relieves and relaxes. Harpagophytum is a South African, creeping plant. It grows in Namibia and has been used for centuries by the local healers to treat pain and inflammation of the joints. Its fruit has hooked thorns which has given the plant its common name "Devil’s claw". The part we use comes from secondary roots. They are rich in glucoiridoids and in particular harpagoside. They have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties and are a great treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. They act on the pain and inflammation thus improving joint mobility. Devil’s claw can be used to progressively replace traditional anti-inflammatory treatments because it has no side-effects. Sports people often use Devil’s claw with great success to help them avoid tendon and articular pain, caused by intensive sporting efforts. Devil’s claw root will also favour uric acid elimination and it is therefore an efficient treatment for problems related to gout. Clinical studies have confirmed these properties.

Bioforce Vogel Aesculus Gel 100g £9.95 The use of Aesculus in venous disorders has been recognised for a long time. It has been used as a treatment for various venous conditions since the 19th Century.It is the seed of the Horse Chestnut tree, instantly recognisable to many children as the conker, that is used medicinally. How it works: The constituent of Aesculus which has been most studied is aescin. It has the ability to improve the tone of veins, reducing leakage into the surrounding tissue. Often varicose veins are more troublesome in warmer weather and starting a course of Aesculus during the early summer can prevent the distressing symptoms emerging. For best results, I find that a three to four month course is advisable. Those suffering from varicose veins will also benefit from ensuring that constipation is not a factor. Ingredients Aqua, Alcohol, Aesculus hippocastanum, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Polyglyceryl-3 laurate, Glycerin (plant origin). Directions for use: Apply sparingly and smooth gently into skin 2-3 times daily. Do not apply to the face. Avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not apply to inflamed or broken skin. [ More Information ]
