For muscle and joint problems The horse ointment from Apothekers Original is based on a purely herbal composition of various herbs and plants. The ointment has a soothing, circulation-boosting effect and helps to relieve discomfort caused by back and muscle tension, as well as joint pain or muscle soreness. It can also be used for knee problems, bruises, strains, or sprains. The horse medicated ointment, also known as horse ointment, works in two phases: Menthol and camphor, through their cooling effect, help to relieve acute discomfort and loosen tense muscles. Arnica and rosemary promote blood circulation through massage – this allows heat to penetrate deeper muscle layers.
