Helios Topical Pain Spray and "Pocket" Roll-On is for relief of sore muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments and tendons associated with arthritis, backaches, neck tension, headaches and other related symptoms. 100% natural, botanical essential oils with over 20 natural pain relieving and muscle relaxing compounds, combine in a soothing aroma-therapeutic solution. I use this product in my business and home and can highly recommend it.

Emu Oil from Wild Rose Emu Ranch
Emu oil can be used topically on the skin as a moisturizer for dry, chapped, chafed, and cracked skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties are derived from the Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids it contains. Emu oil is soothing on a wide spectrum of conditions including arthritis, bursitis, and scarring.
