This warming balm works! Soothes my aching shoulder and relieves my back pain far better than neurofen gel
How to use
Warm a little between your hands and work it slowly into wherever the day has settled — shoulders, lower back, calves, feet. The warmth builds as it sinks in. Best after a bath, when muscles are already relaxed.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and rinse well with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Please check the full ingredient list if you have any allergies, including to nuts.

30-Day Happy Skin PromiseRefund or store credit on full sizes
Trying new skincare takes a little trust, especially when your skin has been unpredictable. So here's our Happy Skin Promise in return: if a full-size product isn't right for you or your skin, you have 30 days from delivery to send it back for a refund or store credit, whichever you'd prefer.
How it works
- Email us at customersupport@huskandseedskincare.co.uk within 30 days of your order arriving, with your order number and a quick note on how you got on. We'll reply with everything you need.
- Post the product back to us with at least 80% left in the jar or bottle. A couple of weeks is plenty of time to know how your skin feels about something.
- If a free gift came with your order, pop it in the parcel too, otherwise its value may come off your refund.
- Return postage is paid by you, so we'd recommend a tracked service.
- Once it reaches our studio in Kent, we'll refund what you paid (minus the original delivery charge) or give you store credit instead.

Really love the smell, love tge texture. It really became part of my calming ritual! Sensational.
Easy to apply, fragrance is lovely, definitely relieves the area you apply it to and gets fully absorbed so no oily residue rema ins on the surface of your skin
Was delivered on time and packed with care. It really helps to relax the muscles and to recover faster. Smells amazing
Found this balm very soothing for my achey legs and arthritic ankle,also it has a pleasant smell.
Gentle and soothing. I have applied to my neck and lower back and it is easy to massage into these areas. It has helped to ease these areas and you as you only need to apply a small amount, will last.
Love your products
I used on my aching fingers after gardening and was amazed that the balm actually soothed the ache right out of my fingers. Love it ♥️
I recently had a knee replacement operation and your balm is such a relief especially in the middle of the night! Once I have taken my quota of painkillers your balm comes to the reescue. It is so soothing! Thank you.
All time favourite massage balm
This warming recovery balm is wonderful. The smell is soothing and the balm feels nurturing and so good to rub into tired muscles. Another great product from Husk and Seed
So glad I found this, works wonders on my stiff neck & shoulder with absolutely none of the nasties you usually find in products for muscle pain. Plus it smells absolutely glorious- will definitely be back for more
Just love buying from husk and seed. The warming massage balm is incredible x
This is a repurchase for me. I regularly use Husk and Seeds warming recovery balm to ease my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain. It works a treat. I keep a large pot by my bedside and carry a smaller pot with me. As a cancer survivor I am very fussy about the products I use, trying to keep things as natural as possible. I would definitely recommend this amazing product.
Daughter uses this for fibromyalgia pain relief and swears by how good this is.
As I have osteoporosis this is ideal for me to rub into my neck when it hurts and is tight and certainly does the job, very pleased to have found this product
Great to have a balm that’s not choc full of lavender. Very subtle warming scent and very happy with it
Lovely balm and great to have a recovery balm that’s not choc full of lavender (as someone who is allergic to lavender). Smooth warming and nice very subtle scent,
Absolutely love these products
Lovely to warm your aching muscles
This balm smells so lovely, it leaves my skin feeling supersoft and is easily absorbed into the skin. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely scent and leaves skin feeling so soft.
Fabulous product!
Love this product as I suffer from tension in my neck and shoulders this has made a huge difference , I would highly recommend. Quick delivery too
I have an issue with both plantar fascia and was experiencing terrible pain, particularly at night. I couldn’t sleep for the intense pain and stabbing in both feet. I applied this product to both feet and hoorah! The pain and discomfort settled and at last I was able to rest. I soon used up the small trial sized tin and have ordered more. What a life saver!
Wonderful warming relaxing product from a truly lovely company. The care that goes into making these products, and the quality, is obvious, As is the personalised care and consideration shown to their customers. Always puts a smile on my face to receive a deluvery from Husk and Seed :)
I had a sore jaw so after using paracetamol found the pain was still there. Decided to try a dab of this and it's worked wonders. I've also used it on a weakened ankle that pains me at times. This stuff is a miracle in a jar. Even my partner used it on a bad neck and it's really helped. Would highly recommend.
I've been using the cleansing balm and the moisturising balm for a few months and absolutely love them. I was hesitant to change from Neal's Yard as I have such sensitive skin but am delighted with the results. I've had excema for years and am reluctant to try new products in case of flare-ups and itchy skin - I haven't had any problems with the facial products at all. I love creating the night-time ritual to wind down after the day and cleanse and moisturise my skin - so relaxing! I've found it a good idea to start earlier in the evening when I'm not tired and ready to fall into bed and have benefitted from taking some time to establish the routine. The whole experience of ordering and receiving the lovely packages is great and the service excellent. Kelly and Wendy have answered and sorted issues and ensured the excellent discounts have been applied. I've decided to prioritise finding the best skincare now I'm mid fifties and Husk and Seed does not disappoint. I tried the sample set on my sister's recommendation and haven't looked back - I can highly recommend trying these products!” Allison
Lovely balm that certainly relaxes your muscles
Amazing Balm. I suffer with aching joints, neck & back pain. This has been a godsend. Really relaxing & has made a huge difference to managing my pain. Great for tired legs & feet after a long walk ! So nice to use a 100% natural product instead of ibuprofen gels !
Love this balm, I apply it after shower or bath after exercising gorgeous smell and texture.
Absolutely heavenly suffering with restless legs for ages and I have to say this has worked highly recommend… 🧡
Love the smell. Waiting for someone to give me a massage!
I brought the Warming Recovery Massage Balm for my husband as he pulled a muscle in his neck, I saw your reviews, so thought it would be good to give it a go. My husband said it is very good, he said he really felt the effects, felt soothing & smelt nice too. Told him it is 100% natural, he gave the thumbs up.
I bought the introductory set for myself. I absolutely loved it from the start. My skin feels soft, comfortable and much improved. I ordered two more introductory kits for my daughters. I also bought a cloth and spoon. What a game changer. The spoon makes sure you only use what you need, I can be a bit heavy handed with products. The cloth really makes such a difference to the cleansing routine. I bought the warming muscle balm. It smells lovely, is a pleasure to use but I only gave it 4 stars because it is not very warming on my painful shoulder. I have ordered cloths and spoons for my girls too, and dropped huge hints to my husband re gift vouchers for Christmas. All in all you have one very happy and loyal customer.
I’ve only used this once as the backs of my calves were aching after a run and it seemed to aid my muscles
Smells lovely, I used it as I had an aching neck after doing some gardening and it seemed to relieve it 👍
Eased a stiff neck and smelt beautiful.
Hi. It's lovely balm but not warming at all.
I love the feel and usability of the balm, but the main reason I bought it was it's advertised as a warming balm, if im honest I get no warming sensation from it at all
