5kind Natural Joint & Muscle Cooling Gel 300ml - Calendula Cream with Comfrey & Menthol - High Strength Revitalising Muscle Gel - Massage for Back, Muscles, Knees, Neck & Shoulders

I have got arthritis since I was in my mid teens and got worse with every decade: on top of that in April 2020 I had a bad episode of sciatica on my right leg which left me with numbness in several toes and parts of the foot and leg. The other day, as I bent to tie my shoe laces I had once again that pain through my back that sent me straight to bed (probably because the temperature in London dropped some 10 degrees Celsius), as in the past, when I was stuck to bed for up to 6 weeks in deep pain and then 8 months of mobility as even 80 years old walked faster than me. I got this cream hoping to be better than the useless voltarol (or stomach upsetting diclofenac sodium gel) and I could not believe when in a matter of minutes my back was so much better!!! A small bit goes a long way out of the 300ml gel, which is great as opposed to using the expensive Voltarol etc (feeling like a watery chocolate pudding I make sometimes) and smells a bit minty, because of the menthol and camphor it contains, but not cooling or warming the back. I guess the great result is due to the comfrey extract, which I never heard about before, although the brief research I did said it is banned in the USA because the comfrey tablets for example, if taken for longer than 10 days affect the liver and even lead to death. I used it for 3 days so far and I cannot believe I do not walk bent to 90 degrees. The jar came with 90% product as you see it, but even using it for several days appeared almost the same - a bit goes a long way. I am really impressed with it - not out of the woods as normally it takes me months to be back to normal but at least I give the appearance of being OK. I will keep this nearby until the next major episode strikes - will update here if I will experience anything negative.

I’ve used this product before and like it. It does seem to ease knee stiffness a year after a total knee replacement. It’s rubs in easily and doesn’t leave a smell. Must be careful using it though as it stains ! (My bedside table and sheets so far 🙄).

This is a good product and seems to relieve pain a little. Not keen on the fact that it marks clothing pink, due to its colour. I find the extra strength hemp cream to be slightly better, but this is worth a try

This one really works for me, as helped my sciatic nerve on my right leg so much better with as little as NO pain use every day

I dont normally write reviews but after 2 weeks of debilitating back pain with a trapped nerve I have just discovered this amazing gel. I was prescribed codeine, ibuprofen, paracetamol and pre gabalin for pain relief and to be honest they weren't doing a very good job. In addition to this I was using deep heat, deep relief, voltarol and biofreeze. Whilst the pain was just controllable it was still noticeable and movement was restricted. In my desperation I purchased this, not expecting much How wrong I was. After first application pain numbed to a level that none of the medication or other products managed and more importantly I could move again. The gel doesn't generate warmth as I expected but the pain just fades away within minutes. It has a "calming" scent and dries within about 90 seconds . Thank you 5Kind. After 2 weeks of hellish pain, no sleep and literally crawling around the house Ive finally found a product that actually relieves pain. I will definitely be ordering more and looking at their other products. Update to my original review. The pain relief only lasts a short while and does not provide an overall solution to pain relief

I like this which I use on my knees. It does have a cooling effect and smells pleasant.

Instant relief from joint aches and muscle pain. I have used this product for many years and it never fails to give great results

This is a very good product, really helps me with my fibromyalgia pain that I have in ribs, shoulders, feet, upper and lower back. Helps relax muscles enough to get some sleep during the night as well. I recently started doing yoga as it is helping me with pain and fatigue and I apply the gel onto painful areas prior to and after the exercise and that seems to work really well. If you suffer from fibromyalgia you need to exercise, even if it is just 10 minutes per day and this gel really helps to achieve that. I apply it a few times during the day and sometimes even at night to help me go back to sleep, the jar goes a long way and large tub usually lasts me 2 months of continuous use, which I think is a good value for money. The gel smells quite strongly of menthol and I am not too fond of this, also, it stains clothes, so I just resolved to wearing black t shirts around the house, I also have some stain on my bedding, which is annoying, but anything to take away the pain. Sending warm wishes to all those battling with the disease and I hope you find some relief x

it's easy to use and it comes with a cooling sensation at the beginning, I apply it at night around my shoulder and I feel much better in the morning.

Mise à jour septembre 2019. L'efficacité de ce produit de par l'utilisation que j'en ai n'est plus pour moi à démontrer. J'en suis à mon deuxième pot et serais bien malheureux si ce gel venait à ne plus être disponible sur Amazon et à ce prix. J'en recommanderais régulièrement tant que cela restera possible. J'utilise cette formule de gel principalement pour soulager et faire disparaître, oui disparaître, des douleurs récurrentes aux articulations et tendons de chevilles suite à un accident. Douleurs pouvant à l'extrême devenir incapacitantes. Depuis que j'utilise ce gel qui plus est très économique car il en faut peu, je n'ai plus eu à déplorer cet état handicapant. J'en applique avant la marche et après. Je l'utilise également pour des problèmes de nuque raide et là aussi l'efficacité est au rendez-vous. Je préciserais enfin qu'il s'agit de mon cas personnel et spécifique et que je n'en fais pas pour autant une généralité applicable à tous. Aussi je laisse en l'état mon premier commentaire si-dessous fait lors du premier achat et qui reste toujours valide. Entendons nous bien, ceci n'est en rien un "médicament". Ce gel, ne soigne pas, ni ne guéri. Cependant il est (très) efficace pour apaiser les douleurs, relaxer les muscles et tendons et ce la plupart du temps en de nombreux cas. Vous avez des douleurs musculaires récurrentes après l'effort ? Des articulations qui peinent de temps à autre en vous faisant souffrir ? Vous voulez apaiser ces dernières sans passer par la case médicament ? Alors ce gel est fait pour vous. Ceci dit n'escompter pas guérir ou soigner une crise d'arthrite aiguë, une tendinite, un lumbago ou un tour de rein. Certes ce gel apaisera par sa fraîcheur et sa composition la douleur ressentie, mais en rien ne vous guérira. Apaisant pourrait être le maître mot pour ce produit tant il est vrai qu'il est efficace, mais dans les limites de ce à quoi il est destiné. C'est réellement un gel et non une pommade. Il n'est pas "collant", se laisse étaler facilement, ne tache pas, pénètre et sèche assez rapidement. Il est de plus fort agréable à l’odorat tout comme au toucher, malgré sa couleur kaki foncé naturelle. Il est très frais à la peau et son parfum là aussi naturel n'est pas entêtant et s'estompe assez rapidement. On est loin des baumes à senteur eucalyptus prononcée, voire rédhibitoire à l'odeur. J'aurais préféré qu'il soit présenté comme gel apaisant la douleur plutôt que gel Anti-Douleurs. Anti-Douleurs étant certes plus vendeur mais un peu extrême et pas forcément réaliste dans tous les cas de figure. Ce qui n'enlève en rien à l'efficacité du produit que je recommanderais une fois le pot complètement vidé.

Excellent product. This was my second purchase.

Ho acquistato questo gel per muscoli e articolazioni e mi sono trovato molto bene. 👍 Efficacia: Funziona bene, dà sollievo nelle zone doloranti e si sente subito una sensazione di freschezza quando lo applico. 💆‍♂️ Profumo e consistenza: Ha un bel odore e si spalma facilmente senza ungere la pelle. 💪 Uso quotidiano: Lo uso soprattutto dopo l’attività fisica o quando ho dolori ai muscoli e alle articolazioni — lo trovo davvero utile. In sintesi: un gel che funziona bene, piacevole da usare e con un buon profumo. Consigliato! 😊

The gel work great in wrist and knee, on my back i use it and i have a relief after half of hour, the smell is kind strong at first but with the minutes decrease a bit, not hot not cool is like in the medium went is over the skin and if you leave it with out washing per hours way better, the container bring enough quantity to apply many times i was using another ice gel cream before this but i like this better more efficiency.
