About Nature’s Sunshine Tei-Fu Recovery Massage Lotion
When muscle discomfort strikes, you need reliable relief that works quickly and effectively. Nature’s Sunshine Tei-Fu Recovery Massage Lotion delivers warming, penetrating support for sore muscles and joints, providing temporary relief from minor aches and pains associated with backache, strains, sprains, and bruises. This trusted formula combines the power of active ingredients with the therapeutic benefits of authentic essential oils.
The foundation of this effective formula lies in its two primary active ingredients: menthol at 5% concentration and methyl salicylate at 10%. Menthol provides a cooling sensation that helps distract from discomfort while supporting natural relief pathways. Methyl salicylate, derived from wintergreen, offers warming properties that penetrate deeply into tissues to address discomfort at its source.
The Power of Traditional Essential Oils
What sets Tei-Fu Recovery apart is its carefully selected blend of authentic essential oils that have been valued for centuries. The formula includes eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, known for its refreshing and invigorating properties, and peppermint oil, which provides additional cooling sensations and aromatic benefits. Clove leaf oil contributes its warming characteristics, while the inclusion of cinnamomum camphora (camphor) bark oil adds to the formula’s penetrating effectiveness.
The lotion is further enhanced with zingiber officinale (ginger) root oil and arnica montana flower extract. Ginger has been traditionally used to support circulation and provide warming comfort, while arnica has a long history of use for occasional bruising and minor discomfort. These botanicals work synergistically with the active ingredients to create a comprehensive approach to muscle and joint comfort.
Advanced Formulation for Optimal Results
Nature’s Sunshine has developed this lotion with a paraben-free base that ensures clean, effective delivery of active ingredients. The greaseless formula absorbs readily into skin without leaving sticky residue, making it practical for use before or after physical activity. Sweet almond oil and other carefully selected emollients help maintain skin softness while supporting the penetration of therapeutic ingredients.
The convenient tube packaging protects the integrity of the essential oils and active ingredients while allowing for precise application exactly where relief is needed. This makes Tei-Fu Recovery ideal for targeted application to specific areas of discomfort.
