Natural ointment to relieve torticollis

The natural ointment to reduce the tension caused by torticollis is a product made with herbs and mild oils that, due to their composition, significantly soothe the pain and stiffness of the affected muscles.

Its fatty acids and antioxidants are easily absorbed through the skin. Thanks to the heat they generate, they activate circulation and improve the oxygenation process of the muscles.

Among its ingredients, the oil of St. John’s wort or St. John’s Wort stands out, whose anti-inflammatory and soothing effects help reduce pain and muscle contraction.

Its analgesic effects, added to the action of other ingredients such as calendula, reduce cervical tension and, in turn, headaches and back pain.
