The peppermint herbal salve contains Peppermint Essential oil, Menthol Crystals, Almond Oil, Lavender Flower, Calendula Flower, Plantain Leaf, Beeswax, Lemon Balm, Willow Bark, Vitamin E, 250mg CBD isolate. Peppermint is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. When rubbed on the forehead or temples it is reported to help with headaches and migraine symptoms. It also contains menthol, which makes it soothing and cooling when applied. Menthol is a natural analgesic (pain reliever) when applied with the salve. Another reason menthol works so well when you rub it on those aching muscles is because it triggers a process called vasodilation. Blood vessels in the area widen, increasing blood flow to the area and reducing the skin barrier function. As a result, other medicinal ingredients typically found in that lotion along with the menthol get to work faster while the increased blood flow itself brings nutrients necessary for cellular repair and carry away waste.
