Christopher's Original Formulas Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment, Herbal Topical for Muscle & Joint Support, 4 fl oz

Fantastic product. Was recommended to me by Jack from The Survival Podcast. I've had lower back pain for months with no relief. Applying this 2-3 times a day for about a week, worked magic. No more back pain. 100% will buy this again.

This stuff doesn't only relieve, it HEALS. I prefer a non-immediate sensation of relief (as in most of the heating ointments out there) and a deep healing rather than an ointment that only gives temporarily relief.It works also on muscles, though less than on joints and bones where it's really effective, even after one application, you see the big difference the day after really.Jar is a bit small but it's like a bee wax so a little goes a long way and it lasts long. Smell is not bad, not strong, like bee wax. Does stay on skin for a good 30-45mn before getting fully absorbed by the skin so no quick absorbing like other cream (it's deep healing after all). Will repurchase in a heartbeat

I’ve been using Christopher's Original Formulas Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. This herbal topical offers great support for muscle and joint discomfort. The ointment has a soothing, natural scent that isn’t overpowering, and it absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.What I appreciate most is the blend of herbal ingredients that feel genuinely effective—my sore muscles and stiff joints seem to loosen up after applying it. It’s perfect for post-workout recovery or for days when my knees feel achy. Plus, a little goes a long way, so the 4 fl oz container lasts quite a while.Overall, I would recommend this ointment to anyone looking for a natural alternative to conventional pain relief creams. It’s a solid, reliable product that truly supports muscle and joint health.

The product does give me immediate pain relief when I put it on my hands after coming in from cold weather since I have severe OA, but I haven't tried it long enough to tell if it works. I don’t touch my eyes, nose or mouth for an hour afterward, since you’re not supposed to ingest it even though it says it’s good for gums. The warning label, which I missed reading, says not to ingest because it damages the liver, but the skin is your largest organ. When you search for comfrey on Google it says: "Comfrey has toxic substances that can cause severe liver damage and even death. You should never take comfrey by mouth. The toxic substances in comfrey can be absorbed by the skin. Even creams and ointments should be used for only a short time, and only under a doctor's supervision.” Comfrey isn’t banned in the US, since it’s sold in creams or ointments. I don’t think I’ll be buying it again.

I've used this product for years to ease occasional muscle pain and leg cramps,and boost the healing of closed wounds. A little product goes a long way!

I sustained an injury during boxing practice earlier this year - torn muscle and possibly tendon tissues. I find this ointment helps - as part of a combinatorial recovery program. I feel my recover makes faster progress when I use this regularly. Tip: buy a pair of wool socks, cut of the bottom, and you'll have yourself a nice wool sleeve for your arm or leg - in case you're dealing with extremities. Apply the ointment and pull the wool sleeve over it. Now, you can do your PT or whatever therapy you're using - more efficiently. Even if you're just taking a walk, the wool will activate it a little more and keep it warmer. Cheers!

I really wanted to live this cuz I love all things dr Christopher’s but I just got this and wow was this bad.. first it has to be refrigerated so that’s kinda annoying because I’m never going to remember to use it.. but I was more than willing to give it a chance and deal with the fact that it has to be refrigerated! So I tried it on after my shower and omg it’s bad.. now please keep in mind/believe me when I say I’m the LEAST PICKIEST PERSON when it’s comes to weird natural products! Likes I’ve used Etsy handmade stuff and weird home remedies stuff.. like the benefits are always the most important thing for me not smell or texture, and I can put up with a lot!But this was sooo waxy and hard and thick I had to try and melt in my hand my rubbing it a looong time (like why too long) and then I put I on my affected “areas” and my face (I put it on my face because I noticed it has a lot of the similar ingredients to dr Christopher’s beauty balm one, and like I said before I’m not picky usually).. Anyway it goes one yellow and leaves a yellow tint on your skin.. it also doesn’t absorb AT ALL not matter how much I rub it in and eventually little grain of rice sized wax develop from trying to rub it in.. so I collect those and wash off my hands. Ok at this point I’m done and I go lay down and hope it absorbs eventually but Nope.. So eventually I went and tried to rinse some off because the smell and stickyness was making me insecure (my husband gets back from a long work trip today and I’m trying be right) and it barely even comes off with water and a towel.. wowYeah also it smells pretty bad which I would of totally not even cared about it would of just been lighter/easier for my skin to absorb..I also really don’t like that the 2nd ingredient was wheat germ oil because that’s thee most comedogenic oil there is! And again I don’t usually care like I use coconut oil on my face everyday and that’s comedogenic too but this stuff was wayyyy worse!So for all those reasons I don’t see myself being able to use this.. 3 stars because I fully believe anything dr Christopher’s makes WORKS but unfortunately I won’t be able to use this one.. I will however try the massage oil!! I have a feeling the oil with absorb better or at the very least it will be easier to apply and I won’t have to deal with wax grains developing!Maybe I got from a bad batch tho idk.. it did smell pretty bad/bitter but that could just be cause all the herbs..
