About this item
About this item
A warming herbal ointment crafted with organic and wildcrafted botanicals, designed for sore, overworked muscles and joints. Apply directly to the neck, shoulders, back, arms, or legs for a familiar warming sensation that keeps working.*
Apply a generous amount directly to the target area. Massage in and around the sore or tight spot using firm, circular strokes. For best results, apply after a warm shower or light warm-up activity. The warming sensation typically builds within a few minutes and continues for hours.*
Tip: Pairs well with gentle stretching and hydration as part of your everyday recovery routine.*
We use organic and wildcrafted botanicals with long histories of traditional use in topical rubs and liniments.*
Deep Heat works from the outside in. For those looking to support the body from the inside as well, rooibos is a caffeine-free herbal tea naturally rich in antioxidants, a gentle daily complement to an active recovery routine.*
The warming sensation typically builds within a few minutes. Menthol and wintergreen create the familiar warming and cooling effect, while cayenne and ginger add gentle heat that can continue for hours. It is not a harsh or instant burn, it builds gradually.*
Most commercial muscle rubs use a short list of synthetic ingredients. Deep Heat is built on a base of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pure Aloe Vera Oil, and Beeswax, with 19 organic and wildcrafted botanicals. The texture is a true ointment/balm, not a runny lotion, which allows for targeted, even massage.*
We recommend applying as needed. Many customers use it after physical activity, at the end of a workday, or as part of a nightly wind-down routine. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs and consult your doctor if you have sensitive skin or an underlying condition.
Deep Heat contains Black Walnut hull, which is a tree nut. If you have a tree nut allergy, do not use this product without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Because it is a concentrated balm rather than a thin lotion, a little goes a long way. Most customers find a tub lasts several weeks to a couple of months, depending on frequency of use.
Yes. Deep Heat is applied topically for targeted, localized comfort, while Rooibos Tea or Rooibos Matcha offer a gentle, caffeine-free, antioxidant-rich daily habit from the inside. Many customers pair a topical routine with a daily internal habit as part of overall recovery support.*

Aloe vera oil preparation combines aloe with an organic olive oil carrier for topical use. Aloe has a long skin-care tradition, while the olive oil base gives the preparation a smooth, emollient feel and makes it easy to blend into salves and ointments.
Arnica flower has a European history in external rubs and preparations used after ordinary physical exertion. It is mainly a topical herbal material, not an everyday tea. Flower preparations and highly diluted homeopathic products are different forms.
Beeswax gives traditional salves and balms their body, spread and staying power. Melted into herbal oils, it thickens them and helps create a protective layer on the skin. Its emollient and occlusive qualities explain its enduring role in topical preparations.
Birch essential oil is an aromatic distillate often associated with sweet birch, Betula lenta. Some commercial birch oils are rich in methyl salicylate, the same strongly scented compound found in wintergreen oil. Species and authenticity matter: “birch” alone does not establish this oil's composition.
Black walnut hull is the green outer covering of the fruit of Juglans nigra, a North American tree. It is rich in astringent tannins, which give plant preparations a drying, tightening quality. Its history in Eclectic and folk formulae is distinct from eating the nut or using the tree's bark.
Calendula flower is a classic European skin herb. Herbalists have long infused the bright flower heads in oil for salves and other external preparations. Its traditional emollient role means softening and soothing the skin, distinct from the sharp sensation of warming topical spices.
Cayenne is a hot Capsicum fruit used in warming herbal formulae and topical rubs. A little fruit changes the flavor of a digestive blend, while its topical heat gives a rub a distinct sensation. Whole pepper, concentrated capsaicin and different Capsicum varieties are not interchangeable.
Ginger is a warming, aromatic rhizome valued for digestive comfort and nausea-related herbal use. Fresh slices, dried powder and extracts deliver its pungent gingerols and shogaols in different proportions. It is a familiar spice as well as a well-studied digestive herb.
Gravel root is a North American urinary herb from Eutrochium, formerly classified in Eupatorium. Eclectic herbalists simmered the root in urinary preparations. The historical name refers to urinary-stone concerns; authenticated species and safety testing remain important.
Horsetail is a jointed green herb traditionally used in European urinary teas to encourage urine flow. Its sterile aerial stems contain silica-related compounds and flavonoids. It is prepared as tea or extracts and also has a history in external washes.
Lobelia is a potent North American herb with a specific place in nineteenth-century Eclectic herbalism. Historical sources discuss flowering herb, inflated pods and separated seed in compound preparations. Its naturally occurring alkaloids, including lobeline, make it a very different ingredient from a casual daily beverage herb.
Marshmallow root is a demulcent, a mucilage-rich herb that develops a slippery, coating texture in water. Herbalists have long valued it in soothing throat and digestive preparations. The way it is steeped matters because its water-loving polysaccharides are central to that traditional character.
Mullein is a soft-leaved Western respiratory herb used in throat and seasonal preparations. Herbalists steep the leaf and strain out its fine hairs; the yellow flowers have a separate European dry-cough tradition. Leaf and flower supply related but distinct materials.
Extra virgin olive oil is mechanically obtained from olive fruit and valued for flavor, oleic acid and variable phenolic compounds. Mediterranean food traditions use it widely. Herbalists also use olive oil as a carrier for infused oils and salves.
Herbal plantain is a Plantago leaf herb valued for soothing throat preparations and external skin care. Mucilage gives a moist, coating quality, while tannins contribute mild astringency. Herbalists use the leaf in infusions, washes and poultices.
American skullcap is a North American nervine, a herb traditionally chosen for calming and nervous-system routines. Eclectic herbalists particularly valued Scutellaria lateriflora's aerial herb in tinctures. Exact species matters because several plants share the name.
St. John's wort is a yellow-flowered European herb whose flowering tops have a long herbal history, including mood-related use. Unlike many gentle tea herbs, it can markedly change the effect of prescription medicines. Whole flowering herb and standardized extracts also differ in composition.
White oak bark is a tannin-rich North American astringent, traditionally valued in external washes and mouth rinses. Astringency is the drying, puckering quality familiar from strong tea. It explains the bark's place in older skin-care preparations.
White willow bark is the bark of Salix alba, part of a longstanding European bitter and pain-related herbal tradition. It contains salicylate precursors, but a bark tea is not the same as aspirin. Species, preparation and dose influence the amount of those compounds.
Wintergreen essential oil is a concentrated, sweet-smelling distillate from Gaultheria material. It is known for methyl salicylate, a potent compound used in some external rubs. This oil is very different from an ordinary herbal leaf infusion and must be treated as a concentrated topical ingredient.
Wormwood is an intensely bitter Artemisia herb valued in European aperitifs and digestive preparations. Small amounts give tinctures and blends a pronounced bitter-aromatic edge. The aerial herb contains bitter lactones and a volatile fraction that requires careful exposure control.
Menthol crystals are a concentrated, solid form of the compound responsible for mint's cooling sensation. In topical preparations, menthol activates the skin's cold-sensing nerves, creating a cool feeling.
