If you’ve read my blog or followed me on Twitter for awhile, you’ll know that I’ll try anything to get rid of my pain. Even when my pain is relatively under control, I still find myself wandering the first aid/pain relief aisle at the grocery store. I’ve tried every spray, balm, patch that’s OTC and plenty of prescription products as well. So, I was skeptical when I received The Fay Farm‘s Rejuvenation lotion to try and alleviate my pain.
In short, I absolutely love this product. Let me tell you why. I received this lotion shortly before my knee surgery. I was in tremendous pain prior to my surgery from both my knee and almost every other joint due to a lack of my RA medications as I was trying to keep my immune system somewhat strong for the surgery. I was taking pain medications around the clock and still wasn’t getting relief. I initially tried a little of this lotion on my hands and noticed they felt better but was still skeptical because, as I mentioned, I was taking pain meds nonstop.
After the surgery, I started having sciatic nerve pain, which was brand new to me. My hip pain came back with a vengeance, I’m sure walking with crutches didn’t help keep it away. And this lotion helped! And by helped, I mean it took my pain away! I could rub it on my hip and literally within a few minutes (sometimes needing a repeat application for stronger relief) my pain was gone.
Now that my incisions have healed, I’ve used this lotion and again, it substantially reduces my pain on my post-operative knee. This lotion is the difference between me taking a prescription pain medication and not. It even relieves menstrual cramps (TMI I know…).
So what exactly is this magical lotion? The Fay Farm’s Rejuvenation Lotion is a blend of herbs and essential oils designed to relieve joint and muscle pain. Notes of vanilla from peru balsam essential oil complimented with a delicious top note of camphor makes for a mild, almost decadent aroma. Made with organic ingredients: Purified water, hemp oil, grape seed oil, apricot kernel oil, emulsifying wax, stearic acid, argan oil, magnesium, white sesame oil, jojoba oil, essential oils, 200 mg. CBD oil, fennel, licorice, turmeric, valerian, gluconolactone and sodium benzoate (certified organic preservative).
The lotion has a thick consistency- thick enough to really be able to rub into problem areas but not too thick that you struggle to get it out of the bottle/pump. And you truly don’t need a ton to get relief. One pump usually is enough for each area (big areas, like a hip, might need two). I’ve been using this lotion almost daily for weeks and still have half a bottle remaining.
