Herbal Mana Flu Bomb

I have not tried this product yet but am glad I watched the video which explains why it is best to apply their products to the bottom of the feet.

Replay of the Herbal Mana Flu Bomb facebook video:

I like that this is a liquid without DMSO similar to the SLEEP roller and it has some essential oils which I want to try like Rosemary.

ETA:
I decided not to buy this yet because Herbal Mana just offered their new roller bottle of CBD infused Pain Bomb free with the purchase of Pain Bomb cream and I really wanted to try the liquid version of Pain Bomb.
Also there was a 25% off Labor Day code (FAMILY25) for Canvas 1839 and I couldn't resist getting the bundle of 5 of their CBD Relief Cream travel packs with the discount and free shipping.   The travel pack I got as a sample absorbs well and doesn't need the washing before using that Pain Bomb demands.
Both of the above CBD creams are expensive but seem to work well on pain and anxiety
They both may help sleep too.


My preferred container has been the dropper bottles.
Much easier to apply and less sticky than the creams and gels and more economical than the roller bottles.
I put a couple of drops in a palm then use fingers from my other hand to apply the liquid to feet, forehead/temples, and/or neck.

This has become my favorite Herbal Mana purchase:

I love all three especially HOPE.

Their current new DMSO gel is Helichrysum but I already have it in a roller bottle.

Herbal Mana Creams

Herbal Mana has cream blends with various essential oils, a few with DMSO but most without DMSO.

My skin prefers the feel of their quick drying liquids and gels, most of which have DMSO, but am taking advantage of the current more comfortable weather to try their creams.   I see no point of getting their creams with DMSO (except their special Pain Bomb which is infused with CBD) since the targeted area has to be washed more thoroughly because of the ability of DMSO to penetrate more deeply and find the non creams more comfortable after application.

Neither the SLEEP cream nor its liquid roller contain DMSO, making them easier to apply during the night.  The Sleep cream jar is almost empty because I used it a lot when I first received it.  I also blew through my first SLEEP roller bottle but am finding its replacement lasting much longer, being aware that it comes out of the bottle quicker than the other roller blends.  The roller bottle is convenient but the liquid does not dry as cleanly as those with DMSO.
The jars of Inner Warrior and HOPE creams are still pretty full.  As winter approaches, I may try the Recovery cream and any others without DMSO.  It is not quite clear whether the Inner Warrior cream contains DMSO.  The jar I have which came with SLEEP and HOPE does not include DMSO in its ingredients.  Information on their site is contradictory.   I believe the more current Inner Warrior creams may contain DMSO.

This morning my feet hurt when I woke up and I applied the HOPE cream which removed most of the twinges.   The twinges are not a bad thing because that is how my neuropathy started and may be a sign that the condition is reversing from what I have read.

Guinea Pig Update 2

I just ordered the 7 Day Pack for myself.
If you want to try Outback Pain Relief cheaply

put the 7 Day pack in your cart
enter the promo code OUTBACK10 at checkout for $10 off

Still finding Outback Pain Relief Roll-on excellent for acute pain and easy to apply.
If it doesn't do the trick then I use Herbal Mana Pain Bomb which is infused with CBD.
I also will be trying my newest arrival:
the Herbal Mana DMSO Wintergreen roller.
Most other products just cannot compete or are too expensive like Canvas 1839.
Arnica gel still works great if immediately used after an injury and better than most other pain relief ointments.
Meg Relief could have been a contender but its spray bottle gets jammed too much.

For chronic pain, muscle cramps, brain fog, vertigo, anxiety, etc.
Herbal Mana has given me an arsenal of weapons.
I cannot remember the last time I had a leg or foot cramp during the night but may not have had any since receiving my first order of Inner Warrior which was designed for fibromyalgia.
My right hand is 95% better than it was. I was on my way to having to train my left hand for most functions but luckily can use my right hand without pain again.
The burning in my feet at night has become tolerable.

My routine has been Frankincense DMSO gel first thing in the morning on my feet and ankles because I have a large jar and it seems to stop most of the random aches I get in the morning.
After my workout I use Inner Warrior on temples and neck because I usually feel vertigo after a workout.
Later in the day I use Hope or Helichrysum DMSO liquids when I feel I am getting anxious.
Before bed and during the night if I wake up, I apply the SLEEP roller on my temples and neck because neither has DMSO.
The area receiving DMSO has to be washed before its application.

Right now I prefer their liquids and gels because the creams make me feel too warm.
I may prefer them in cooler weather.
Main advantage of the creams is no DMSO.

(I am expecting two other liquid blends to try next week)

ETA:  Pain Bomb works!
I woke up with a bad headache and Pain Bomb applied to the temples resolved it within minutes.
A little goes a long way but I will reorder when I want to get free shipping on a future order of a large bottle of Inner Warrior.

New Product limited offer with free shipping!
DMSO gel with Turmeric

My last two orders just arrived and I immediately tried the Recovery blend dropper bottle because I felt yucky all day with the humidity and various stressful events, including an annoying mosquito making me sleep in long sleeves and pants, reapplying for our son's ACA medicaid, and a visit from our plumber because of a toilet repair..
I washed my face and neck and applied a few drops and WOW ..
I felt like that old shaving cream commercial:
"Thanks I needed that"
LOL
It was simultaneously calming and exhilarating.
I may prefer Recovery to Hope for when I need energy.

So far, I prefer the DMSO liquids to the DMSO gels and the non DMSO creams but may like the creams more after the summer heat ends.
Maybe I would like the gel more with a pump because I do not like dipping a finger into the gel.
The liquid rollers are convenient for small areas.
I think the dropper bottle may be a good alternative to the spray for larger areas.

ETA: 8-20
Last night and this morning I tried the new Turmeric DMSO gel.
I slept and felt decent till after my workout then felt yucky again (brain fog and light-headed) so applied the Recovery blend and now feel darn well.
It will be hard to determine which blend I like best between Inner Warrior, Hope, and Recovery.
Tonight I plan to try Lunar Warrior.

ETA:8-23
Lunar Warrior worked well on my feet at night but I think Recovery worked even better
or maybe a combination of both?
Recovery for the cramping and Lunar for the burning
