Review + Giveaway: RUB-A535 Natural Source Arnica

(Sorry - this giveaway is open to readers in Canada only.)

I was recently invited to review a sample of RUB A535’s NEW Natural Source Arnica.

"Mother Nature’s Best Kept Secret"

New topical gel-cream from RUB A535 incorporates natural healing properties.

 

Arnica is a natural source that provides effective relief for sore muscles, inflammation and bruising and has been used for medicinal purposes since the 1500s. According to the University of Maryland Medical Centre, it is often the first remedy used today to treat bruising and swelling. RUB A535 has incorporated the healing properties of this therapeutic plant into its new RUB A535 Arnica, a topical gel-cream used to help treat swelling, bruising and muscle aches and pains.

Natural Healing Benefits of RUB A535 Arnica:

· RUB A535 Arnica contains a natural source ingredient used to ease sore muscles, stiffness and bruising

· Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of Arnica, this topical cream is especially effective for treating bruises and swelling from falls or blows

· Once applied, the gel-cream provides fast and effective relief to affected areas, focusing directly where the pain is

· When applied, the gel-cream has a refreshing soothing feel without an intense heating or cooling effect

· The fragrance free gel-cream has added benefits of both a gel and a cream. The gel provides fast absorption while the cream creates a light, non-greasy feel on the skin


I find this to be one of those products that is difficult to review objectively. Did it make a big difference in reducing aches, pains and swelling, or was it the R.I.C.E. therapy? I'll never know for sure, but I do believe they work well together.

I received this product just in time for my recent marathon. If there was ever a time that I need relief of sore, stiff, over-worked muscles, this is it.

What I can say with certainty:

• the cooling sensation feels wonderful
• there is an immediate soothing effect once applied
• it looks a little funky when squeezed from the tube - but don't let that deter you!
• it has a bit of a medical smell, but the aroma doesn't linger once you rub it in
• it is non-greasy and doesn't leave any residue behind

I've been using it liberally on my feet, legs and back and thoroughly enjoy the cold, soothing sensation. Ahhhhhh, relief!
