USERS SAID: "This is my fourth bottle of this product, and I know there will be a fifth, a sixth, and so on. It's great after a long day of exercise to relieve tired muscles or achiness. It’s also great when you’re feeling a little run down or need a pick-me-up. I find it warming, relaxing, uplifting, and clearing."
