Description
NEW - After countless requests... An extra-strength version of our very soothing Aches & Pains Oil in a convenient roll-on. Fantastic on bumps, bruises, sore muscles, and aching joints.
Each year we start with wildcrafted Arnica Montana and St. John's Wort flowers (both reputed for their anti-inflammatory properties) hand-picked in the Bitterroot Mountains and sent to us overnight. After being briefly dried, they are steeped for a minimum of two months in pure sweet almond oil to extract their oils, then strained. Once strained we add lavender essential oil for its calming and soothing effects and a touch of vitamin e. (It is the St. John's Wort flowers that impart the beautiful red color to the finished oil.) And to give this roll-on soother a bit of extra strength we add Arnica CO2 extract as well as extra Lavender Essential Oil.
For the past twenty years, our Aches & Pains Oil has been one of Island Thyme's most popular products!
Directions: Apply directly to affected areas and massage in for gentle relief from pain and inflammation. Do not apply to broken skin or open wounds.
Ingredients: Arnica Montana, alkanet and St. John's Wort infused sweet almond oil, Arnica Montana extract, lavender essential oil

Customer Reviews
Always love these products - made with care
I purchased 3 bottles, 1 for my purse, 1 for the bathroom, and 1 for my dear neighbor who has severe finger pain. We are both so happy with the instant pain relief!! My other friend Patty Burri turned me on to your oil! Thank you so much!!!!
This is a wonderful quick remedy for leg cramps, back aches, etc. I’ve used it for years.
Arnica was recommended by my Sports Medicine Dr. for undetermined pain on right thumb (not arthritis, possible nerve and overuse pain). It worked well. It is not too strong and smell is pleasant as well.
I love this for use on the go and got the three pack so I can gift one or two. Someone gifted me the 2 oz. bottle for my ankle break last year and I really love the gentle soothing effect and wonderful smell!! Great for scar care as well :)
Our Process
Hand made in small batches on Orcas Island, using proprietary recipes we have developed ourselves.

Nature's best
We start with the highest quality flowers, herbs, and medicinals. Some, like calendula, lavender, and cucumber, come from the Island Thyme farm. Others, like St. John's Wort, are wildcrafted in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. Others are sourced from around the world.

Time-tested recipes
All of our recipes have been developed in-house over the past 25+ years. Starting from skin-nourishing base ingredients like sweet almond oil and beeswax, we fine-tune the scent and texture.

Small batches
No industrial manufacturing here! In our commercial kitchen in the village of Eastsound on Orcas Island, our crew meticulously crafts each product in small batches for freshness and quality control.

Delivered to you
After labeling, products are ready for you, our amazingly loyal customers. Our shipping team boxes up online orders, stocks our two storefronts in Eastsound and Friday Harbor, and prepares shipments to our wholesale outlets, which include natural food stores and gift shops throughout the Pacific Northwest
