MSM plus+ contains OptiMSM infused with the essential oils consisting of cypress, clove, marjoram, ginger, eucalyptus, black pepper and peppermint, which work together for quick relief and over time will contribute to the healing of long term chronic pain and suffering from arthritis, muscle and bone injury without side effects. MSM is an all natural anti-inflammatory! All pain is inflammation of tissue. You take away the inflammation, and the pain goes away within about 5 minutes! Once the inflammation is gone, then your body is capable of starting the healing process. The infused essential oils create a Pain formula that works instantly with the pain signals on their way to the brain coming from the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is outside the central nervous system and receives pain responses coming in from our limbs and organs. Once the pain does register in the brain, it will request the hypothalamus to release specific hormones or chemicals (endorphins) that can have analgesic effects, which will further reduce the pain sensations. Applied on the location where the pain rages, the pain gel formula will offer quick relief due to the high percentage of eugenol found in the clove oil. Eugenol numbs out pain. The cypress oil increases circulation so the “painkiller constituents” of the other oils can reach each and every cell faster. Marjoram relaxes muscle tightness and spasms. The ginger and peppermint help to reduce inflammation. Eucalyptus reduces inflammation as well but it also intensifies the other oils and brings in a tremendous amount of oxygen. The black pepper helps repair muscle damage and adds some soothing heat. All essential oils eliminate toxins in the joints where they are stored. Body - Apply as needed to any painful area. Do not rub in. Let dry for 1 minute and reapply up to 2 more applications. 1 layer for minor pain. 2 layers for moderate pain. 3 layers for extreme pain. Applying heat intensifies its effects. Nose - After you apply, cup hand over nose and INHALE the essential oils with 10-12 deep cleansing breaths…..remember that inhaling is just as important as applying the gel to the points of pain…so don’t waste an airborne molecule.
