Battle Balm® - The Best Natural Pain Reliever

In the world of topical pain relief, there are numerous choices.  The plethora of products can be dizzying, but armed with the right information, a consumer can be much more savvy about his or her purchase.  Sifting through product ingredient lists, one can find that many of these analgesics are fraught with chemicals, artificial ingredients, and potentially hazardous substances such as parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, diethanolamine (DEA), propylene glycol (PG), and phthalates.

 

The good news is that there are a growing number of manufacturers that have answered the call for healthier alternatives.  Battle Balm® is a company that has gone one step further and created a plant-based topical analgesic that is both friendly to the body as well as to the planet.

 

Battle Balm® is an adaptation of the ancient Chinese herbal formulas called dit da jow (or “hit fall wine”) historically used to help heal the wounds of Chinese martial artists.  Using a carefully selected balance of pain alleviating herbs, Battle Balm® has created a formula unlike any other before it.  20 plant ingredients are combined using both traditional and modern herbal techniques to create Battle Balm®.  Originally created by martial artists for martial artists, Battle Balm® has been literally battle tested and is now reaching out to treat more general pain sufferers.

 

The benefits of a plant-based herbal analgesic such as Battle Balm®, are many fold.  Clinical studies have shown that plants have numerous medicinal properties.  High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assays have marked plant molecular compounds and allowed scientists to study each one individually.  Therefore, a wealth of data exists for plant use in medicine.  Battle Balm® has deeply researched the clinical and empirical data to refine its unique balm blend.

 

The synergistic combination of Battle Balm® herbs can be used to treat conditions such as arthritis, back pain (lumbago), neck pain, muscular strains, spasms, bruises, contusions, tendonitis, edema, circulatory problems, and more.  But Battle Balm® admits their formula is not just for treating pain.  There are benefits of using Battle Balm® that go beyond that of a typical analgesic.  As per their website, Battle Balm® can be used to naturally and safely nourish and moisten cracked skin, open congested nasal passages, reduce itching from bug bites, soothe burns, improve athlete’s foot, reduce keloid scar tissue, and repel insects.  If that wasn’t enough, Battle Balm® contains natural vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to support skin healing and pliability.

 

Battle Balm® has been independent laboratory tested for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties per USP 51 challenge against the most common strains.  Battle Balm® has been shown to be effective against staph (Staphylococcus aureus), E. coli (Escherichia coli), pseudomonas aeruginosa, candida albicans, and aspergillus niger.

 

Lastly, Battle Balm® is sustainable and eco-friendly.  All of the ingredients are plant-based and are grown with concern for the environment.  The Battle Balm® company’s desire for a superior eco-friendly product trickles down to even the product labels, which are made from corn, another renewable resource.

 

Currently, there are 3 versions of Battle Balm®:  Original Strength, Extra Strength, and Demon Strength.  Each version contains varying quantities of FDA approved ingredients for pain relief.  Product pricing start at $8.95 and can be purchased directly from http://BattleBalm.com.

How to Celebrate Diwali Without Harming the Environment

How green is your Diwali? This is probably not a question that pops into your head all that often, but whilst you are celebrating the wonderful festival, you should also be considering the effect that your celebrations may have on the wellness and wellbeing of the planet.

 

One very simple way that you can ensure that your Diwali is extremely eco-friendly is to celebrate with all your closest family and friends around you. There really is no need for travel – you can simply bring the community together in one place. The cost of the celebration will be reduced in this way too, as everyone can make a contribution, and it will also reduce the amount of pollution that is produced, as everyone will be together celebrating in the one place at the one time. As an added bonus, this kind of celebration will bring whole communities together in the spirit of friendship and camaraderie.

 

You should also consider your fire crackers very carefully this Diwali. Whilst they are beautiful and spectacular, and certainly the heart of any Diwali celebrations, they can also leave haze, cause a great deal of noise and leave the ground littered with papers the next day. Instead of traditional crackers, why not opt instead for eco-friendly products. These are often made from recycled papers and some are even biodegradable. The noise produced by these is also within acceptable limits.

 

Instead of an expensive and energy-gobbling electrical illumination, why not opt instead for an age old Diya? These are bio-degradable and cost effective, but they still look very traditional and extremely beautiful. Energy consumption is sky high around Diwali, so you will be doing your part to reduce this.

 

All of these things can help to make Diwali a far more green celebration for you and for the planet.

How Can Eco-Friendly Technology Restructure the Environment?

You may think that eco-friendly, or environmentally friendly, goods and services only cause a minimum amount of damage to the wellbeing of the planet, but actually eco-friendly technology works to sustain and improve environmental wellness.

Of all the things macro organisms that are capable of damaging the environment, humans are responsible for 99% of pollution, and it seems as though pollution has become synonymous with affluent living. Those who live in the countryside and villages, and aboriginals living in forests, are largely eco-friendly, and we need to take a leaf out of the book of these kind of communities, who have natural, eco-friendly technologies imbedded in their psyche.

Luckily, more and more products and services are sprouting from eco-friendly technology. For example, you can now purchase energy-saving mobile phone chargers which automatically switch off once your battery is fully charged. This could save a whopping 90% of electrical energy, compared to your regular adapter.

You can also find eco-friendly technology in ink cartridges made from recycled cardboard.  These cartridges use as little plastic as possible, so they are able to decompose easily and quickly. Manufacturers also reduce the packaging as much as possible, and the interior of the cartridge is lined with biodegradable lamination to restrict any leakage.

Speaking of waste, a recycled Wet and Dry Log Maker allows you to pack household junk, such as newspapers, paper mail, wood clipping and shredding, tea bags and even wet combustible material, into a compact dense log. That way, instead of burning woods cut from precious green trees, you can burn household waste with this log maker, which is made from 100% recycled plastic material.

So that’s a few in-house eco-friendly technologies, but what about your car? Vehicular emission has been the biggest cause of damage to the health of the environment, but riding a bike sometimes isn’t an option. Though bicycling short distances is constantly recommended, since it saves precious fuel energy, has zero pollution implicit, and above all, it is a resounding step towards a healthy lifestyle, this may not be an option if you are hindered by difficult terrain, health problems, or old age. However, bikes have now also been given an eco-technology makeover, meaning that electrically operated bicycles are swarming the market, and can help you to play your part in restructuring the environment.
