All Wintergreen® products can be used for children over 12 years of age. For children 12 years or younger, parents should ask a doctor.

The aim of any warm up exercise, prep massage or warming agent is to boost blood circulation throughout the body, to warm up the muscles to make them looser, more flexible and less prone to soft tissue injuries.

A cold shower, cold water, cold cloth or ice over the area will help to lessen the effects and as the body temperature goes down the heat will lessen as well. As with any product with liquid pepper extract or menthol, keep away from eyes and only for external use.

Friction Barrier Cream contains tea tree oil which acts as a treatment to help clean the skin of impurities, which may sting if the skin is irritated or chafed. The shea butter in the cream will help lessen the chafing and the more the cream is used as a barrier the softer and less chafed the area should become, so the stinging or burning sensation should get a lot less or disappear completely.

Magnesium Spray can be used on any muscle that tends to cramp, either before you start training, as a preventative, or during your training if you feel cramping starting to occur. It can also be used after a training session if you have sweated a lot and the muscles are likely to cramp.

Magnesium Spray delivers magnesium sulfate directly through the skin - ideal post-exercise when pores are open. This allows for quicker absorption than oral supplements, helping to replenish magnesium lost through sweat and support muscle function and recovery.

You may feel a slight tingling sensation as it enters the pores.

No, just spray it over the targeted area. It is water based and any residue will evaporate quickly.

Arnica Oil contains essential oils like rosemary, which may not be suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 12, or individuals with high blood pressure, epilepsy, or diabetes. For these users, Magnesium Lotion or Gel offers a gentler alternative for massage.

If you have none of the contraindications listed above and if you don’t have sensitive skin, then there is no reason not to put a few drops in the bath, between 6 to 10/12 drops is the norm as the water will dilute the oil further. So try a few at first and build it up.

Hot Mustard Soak, with its combination of mustard seed powder, wintergreen oil, eucalyptus and camphor oil creates an aromatic, warming, recovery blend. Soaking for 10 minutes or more in a warm bath is recommended after a heavy exercise session, as it reduces stiffness, tension & fatigue, speeding up the body’s recovery time.

The Hot mustard soak reduces the effects of DOMS (delayed onset muscle stiffness) - aiding in better sleep, leaving the body feeling warm, relaxed and rejuvenated. It is very important to stay hydrated as you will sweat a lot when using this soak.

Both the Magnesium Soak and the Hot Mustard Soak come in a packet with 5 pre-packed sachets in each. If you are not sure how your body will feel, then start by putting half a sachet in the bath, if that feels ok then use the full sachet from then on. If you want to use the Magnesium Soak and Hot Mustard Soak together, start by trying a half a sachet of each in the bath, if you like the effects, you can use a full sachet of each in a bath. For the best benefits the bath water should be nice and relaxing hot, but not boiling hot.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid the Hot Mustard Soak due to its essential oil content and intense heat, which may not be suitable during this time.

Magnesium Soak is generally considered safe, as there are no known studies suggesting issues with Epsom salt baths during pregnancy - but it's always best to consult your healthcare provider before use.
