Saddle Sore Muscle Rub

Saddle Sore Muscle Rub

Nerve & Muscle Rub

A warming botanical balm formulated for tired muscles, stiff joints, and nerve discomfort.

Saddle Sore is inspired by traditional liniments and muscle balms used to restore circulation and ease tension after long days of physical work. This version replaces petroleum bases with herbal-infused oils, allowing plant constituents to work directly with the skin.

At the center of the formula is St. John’s Wort oil, a classic herbal preparation historically used for nerve support and localized discomfort.

This is a warming, stimulating balm designed for targeted application and increasing circulation to tense areas. 

Botanical Ingredients

All botanical extracts are herbalist made in-house.

St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)

Traditionally infused into oil and used topically for nerve irritation, bruising, and sore muscles.

Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis)

Historically associated with circulation support and tissue comfort.

Lobelia (Lobelia inflata)

A traditional herbal ally used externally in formulas designed for muscular tension.

Capsicum (Capsicum annuum)

Creates gentle heat that encourages blood flow to the area.

Together these herbs create a formula that warms, stimulates, and relaxes tight tissue.

Usage and Instructions

Similar to a traditional tiger balm, massage a small amount into:

  • Sore muscles
  • Tight shoulders
  • Stiff joints
  • Lower back
  • Areas of nerve discomfort

Use after physical activity or at the end of the day.

Wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes.

For external use only.

Formulation

Aromatic & Warming Compounds

Camphor – Cooling and penetrating, commonly used in traditional muscle balms.

Menthol – Produces a cooling sensation that helps distract from soreness.

Ginger Oils (Zingiber officinale & Zingiber cassumunar) – Warming aromatics that encourage circulation.
