Dr. Bronner's Magic Balm

Dr. Bronner's is known for their Castile soap. They also have another amazing product, Magic Balms. The balms are not petroleum based, but instead incorporates a base of organic beeswax and organic oils. They are USDA certified organic and contain certified fair trade oils. They come in two scents, arnica menthol and baby unscented. I own both. I use them for lots of things and they are extremely versatile. I bought mine on the Dr. Bronner's website but you can also buy them online at Target and LuckyVitamin. Below are some examples of how to use the balms. 

Arnica Menthol Magic Balm

• Clear up congestion. Just massage the balm onto your chest. You can even dab a tiny bit underneath your nose, not inside of it, to help unblock sinuses. 
• Helps cool and smooth sore muscles and achy joints
• Relieve tired, sore feet. Coupled with a foot massage, this is a must-try. Slip on some thick, comfy socks to trap in your body heat and amplify the skin-softening power. 
• Soothe itchiness from insect bites. Simply apply a thin layer to the affected areas. It can even act as a repellent. 
• Ease lower back pain during menstruation. If your pain is severe, rub the balm on your lower back to help make daily tasks more tolerable. 
• Relieve headaches. Just massage a pea-sized amount on your temples, being careful to avoid getting too close to your eyes, as the vapors from the balm can cause you to tear up.
• Moisturize dry, cracked skin especially great in the winter. Elbows, knees, feet, hands. Wherever your skin needs a bit more love and attention.

Baby Unscented Magic Balm 

• Help prevent diaper rash in babies
• Help soothe irritated red crease lines under arms and behind knees in babies
• Moisturize dry or chafed skin, cuticles, chapped lips, heels, elbows 
• Heal recent tattoos and brighten up old ones: wash your tattoo with our Baby Unscented Pure-Castile Liquid Soap, pat the area dry, then apply a thin layer of Baby Unscented Organic Magic Balm over the tattoo
• Define or taper unruly eyebrows
• Style beard or mustache
• Use as a daily or nightly eye cream
• Apply a tiny amount to hair to help tame flyaways, a little goes a long way
