Sloan’s Balm

Sloan’s Balm – Capsicum Warming Balm for Neck, Back, Knee & Muscular Pain

Sloan’s Balm is an Ayurvedic topical balm built around capsicum extract, the source of capsaicin, which produces the balm’s characteristic deep warming action on the skin. That warmth is paired with classical analgesic oils – oil of gaultheria (wintergreen, a natural source of methyl salicylate), pudina (mint, for menthol’s cooling counter-note), karpoora tailam (camphor) and nilgiri tailam (eucalyptus) – along with gandha biroja and devadaru oils. It is used for joint pain, neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, sprains and general muscular aches. Manufactured by Piramal Pharma Ltd. 20 gm jar.
