Warming Recovery 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." —Sally S.
Warming MassageComforting WarmthSpicy AromaAbsorbs Fully
Meet your post-walk ritual. This rich massage balm brings comforting warmth to tired, tense muscles.
Black pepper, nutmeg and myrrh create a warming, invigorating blend, while babassu, cupuaçu and shea butters nourish and absorb fully with no oily residue.
Rich, warming and deeply comforting. Perfect for tired, tense muscles after activity or a long day. Suitable for all skin types.
Unwind your mind. Feel the warmth build and let tired muscles, and a busy mind, slowly let go.
Not suitable in pregnancy.
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.
Ingredients:
Babassu Oil, Cupuacu Butter, East Shea Nilotica, Oat Oil, Apricot Oil, Candelilla Wax, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E, *Black Pepper, *Geranium, *Nutmeg, *Myrrh. Nothing else.

Can I use the balms every day?
Yes — each balm is gentle and nourishing enough for daily use. Choose the blend that matches your mood or skin’s needs.
Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. All three balms are 100% natural and free from parabens and harsh preservatives, making them suitable for most skin types.
Can I use them during pregnancy?
We recommend avoiding the Warming Recovery Massage Balm and Unwind Your Mind Evening Balm during pregnancy due to their essential oil content. The Instant Hydration Body Balm is a safe, gentle option.
What’s the best way to enjoy the full ritual?
Use Warming Recovery for comforting warmth after a long day, Unwind Your Mind before bedtime to ease tension, and Instant Hydration anytime your skin needs softening and comfort.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Hi. It's lovely balm but not warming at all.
Sarah 3/5 Verified
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
