Painless Pain Relieving Lotion – Product Review

October 12, 2017

I have been given this product as part of a product review through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. Although the product was a gift, all opinions in this review remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company. This blog contains affiliate links.

As I have shared in many of my blogs, articles, and book, I am always looking for ways to combat chronic pain. Not only for myself, but for others as well because I know firsthand how brutal it is to suffer with pain. In my case, pain is caused by a neurological movement disorder called dystonia.

Every day I have pain that ranks on a scale of 1-10 (I am not a fan of this subjective pain scale. I am just using it to describe my daily pain variation). It can be localized or widespread, and I never know from day to day, hour to hour, where that pain might be, how bad it will be, or how long it will last. Therefore, I use a variety of different things to alleviate my pain, which you can learn more about in my blog and book. All things considered, I think I do a good job at managing my pain, but I can have some rough days so I can always do better. This is why I am always on the lookout for anything to add to my toolbox. Enter Painless Pain Relieving Lotion, which I have been using for the past 2 months.

Painless Pain Relieving Lotion, made by Resonant Botanicals, is an all-natural pain relieving lotion made with the herbs turmeric, valerian, devil’s claw, manjistha and arjuna, steeped in organic grape seed oil. This infused herb oil is added to organic hemp oil, hemp oil extract, apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, clove oil extract, and borage oil, and essential oils such as sandalwood and rose otto. It also contains magnesium and MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane).

Most of us are familiar with magnesium and probably take it. I have been taking it for years for a variety of different reasons. For me it is one of my essential supplements for overall health and some specific pain issues. According to their website, Resonant Botanicals says the following about magnesium: “less than 60% of Americans obtain enough magnesium in their diet. Magnesium deficiency can be detected by several symptoms: fatigue, cramps, muscle pain, inflammation, insomnia, stress and hypertension, among others.”

MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is something we don’t hear much about. MSM is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory with many benefits, especially pain. A great book to learn more about MSM is called, The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain. Research suggests that MSM can act like a natural analgesic, helping prevent and treat muscle aches and pains, throbbing, and swelling, while improving range of motion and mobility. Clearly an important ingredient to have in Painless.

All of the science behind, personal experience is what matters most, which of course varies from person to person. I think it smells great with a light citrus fragrance, is easy to apply (not greasy and easily absorbs into the skin), and most importantly, it helps with my pain and stiffness. I use it every night before bed and as needed during the day. The difference I notice using it before bed is less pain and stiffness in my shoulders and neck in the morning. When I use it during the day, my muscles stay more relaxed. Not perfect of course, but it takes the edge off. It gives me a soothing feeling.

Not only do I use it for the pain in my neck and shoulders from dystonia, I have use it on my elbow where I have tendonitis. It cuts the pain in half most of the time. A few times in the past month I had a stomach ache and within 15 minutes, the discomfort was 75-100% gone. I have since shared this with my mother who has stomach issues that sometimes keep her on the couch or in bed with a heat pack for hours at time. She began using Painless every morning and night, and has noticed some relief. She still has some issues, but she claims to have been feeling better than usual.

Painless Pain Relieving Lotion is available in two sizes:  8 oz. and 2 oz. The 2 oz. container is TSA-approved so it is safe for travel by plane. The price ranges from $20 – $55, which is quite good considering the competition and all of the natural ingredients and formulation process. It also lasts a while. I have had my 8 oz. container for 2 months and still have plenty left, and this is with daily use. Use Coupon Code RELIEF for 10% off and free shipping.Another feature is their packaging. Instead of plastic, they use brushed aluminum containers. This is because plastic contains phthlates, molecules that make plastic pliable. Phthlates leach out at temperatures above 86 degrees Fahrenheit. For most people, phthlates are excreted through the urine, but for those with autoimmune compromised conditions (and women during pregnancy) phthlates can become troublesome. There is more about why they use these containers on their website.

I hope you decide to give it a try. I have been very impressed with the product and company. They are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. When you read on their website about how they came to be, you will know why they are more than just a run of the mill company. They put their hearts into their brand, which is the kind of company I am proud to support!

    I used Invigorate before it was replaced by Painless. Painless has ingredient content that has green dyes. What I mean is, its green colored and it will stain a shirt collar if you put it on your neck. It will slightly discolor your skin temporarily if you have a very light skin tone. It seems to work as well as Invigorate did. I’d prefer Invigorate if it was still available. Be aware….

      Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry about the staining with Painless. Thankfully I have not had that problem and hope not to. My new favoirite product of theirs is Neuro-Soothe.

    Do you think it would help Dystonia in your feet? I’ve tried everything else but nothing has helped . My feet are driving me crazy. I can’t sleep or even sit down to relax they bother me so bad. I know I’m taking too much medicine for them cuz I take extra during the day Just to try to get relief from them. So maybe the lotion may help,

    • Tom Seaman says:

      Hi Gladys,
      I am sorry your feet are giving you such trouble. Michael Yocco at Resonant Botanicals would be best to answer your question, but from my experience using it, it is very possible and worth a try. One of the craziest things about dystonia are all the different things we find that helps. With dystonia there are not absolutes. Sometimes it is a very intensive FDA approved treatment for dystonia and sometimes a lotion, salt bath, exercise or certain posturing technique, distraction technique, antagonistic gestures, a medication used off label, nutritional change, etc., that does the trick. Trial and error, which hopefully leads to trial and success, is the best we have to go on. If you try it, please let me know how it goes.
      Tom
