Badger Ginger Massage Oil, 100% Organic Massage Oil, w/Arnica Oil & Cayenne for Warming Soothing Deep Tissue Sore Muscle Relief, 4 fl oz Glass Bottle

This massage oil is everything I wanted. It's got a great scent, perfect for a little aromatherapy. Its not greasy and washes off easy after the massage. Plus it leaves you feeling smooth which is great for elbows and heels. I will say, the warming affect is mild, and people wanting an Icy/Hot level of warming will be disappointed. But it does warm a little as you work it into the skin and is overall very pleasant.

This product does its job and the delivery was on time and perfect. I don't know why people complain over the smell. I love it. It is very herby and spicy. My man seems to hate the smell but loves how it feels. I also don't understand the burning people are talking about. I used stuff everywhere, including my private areas and I don't feel the intensive burn that people describe it as. Maybe because my own body temperature is so low that the sensation of this warming oil is actually pleasant and not so hot for me. I tired it on my love and he seems to have the same problem, though his body temperature is higher than mines. He doesn't like the smell. He says it is too strong. I love it. I have to be careful and dilute the stuff when I'm around him. The oil does a great job at softening my skin and I notice that my skin has improved since I brought it. I am switching between two brands though. I use this on some days and on other days I use Dr. Bronner's lotion, so the mixture of different natural oils are having a positive effect on my bodys' ability to renew its skin cells. I noticed that the tiny lines around my eyes and nose are disappearing - making me look younger than I did when I was fifteen. The effects could be the teas I am drinking on a daily bases while using these products, and the fact I eat healthier than most people do has something to do with it too. I love the smell and texture of this stuff. A little goes a long way. I am 4ft 10inches tall and two small pumps are enough to cover both arms. A very small single pump for the face. It really does smooth onto the skin without drying so quickly. After a while the body seems to suck it all in. Very thirsty dry skin will drink more of it. LOL My body seems to love it and my skin finally found a moisturizer that absorbs so well into it. Almost all lotions and oils I had used don't absorb too well into my skin. They make my skin feel sticky and heavy, as if I'm covered with a thin layer of honey, and not the sexy kind of honey either. On top of that, my skin starts producing dirt clumps, maybe because I live in a filthy city, but those other big brand name lotions always seem to produce those dirt balls on the skin no matter what. Ewww, I know, I'm sorry for the graphics, but I thought I share more information to help those with similar problems. Anyways, I don't get those horrific sensations when using Badger's Ginger oil and Dr. Bronner's All-One lotion for body. As for what it does to the muscles, I think it has more to do with the actual massage that my feet are getting that seems to do the job of making them feel better, rather than the actual oil itself. I do 2-3hrs workout on the air stepper switching settings on the machine and changing the speed of my movements, so my feet do ache terribly after a workout. There are days I could only 30 minutes at a time before I can't any more. I figure this oil would help ease the aches and pains, getting me to work out longer than just 30 minutes. It is my first choice due to it being a brand that is natural and doesn't test on animals. I read the reviews and most of them describe this product as being too hot, which I like for aching muscles. I figured this would warm up the feet good and keep them from hurting during and after the air stepper. I don't feel the heat or high temperature that the other buyers seem to be experiencing. If I were to feel the heat of this product, than I can say that this did its job and that it assisted my muscles from aching any further. It is not a horrible product. It just didn't have enough heat for it to work on me. The heat of this product is so low I use it as a facial moisturizer and as a personal lubricant (feels good down there). I love the smell. It is strong at first, but as the skin absorbs it starts to smell sensual and arousing (organic smells of herbs and spices; things of nature, brightens up my mood). This oil is a great pick me up for those depressing days and nights. The lingering soft smell, after full absorption, takes me back to Big Cypress and away from the nasty smog, sewage, factory and artificial garbage smells of Miami. Badger and Dr.Bronner are my best friends now. No more stickiness, bad after lotion smells or dirt balls on my skin. Added information: I have light pale skin with mixed ethnicities and heritages from mainly three different continents - South America (which includes countries from Central America), Europe and Asia. Last year I had really bad allergic skin, everything would activate my skin and cause me to itch like crazy and have blotches and rashes all over. Stress would exacerbate the would event. I then used calming meditation techniques, stopped eating poorly, exercised again, lost some weight, started to use this oil (as well as Dr.Bronner's products) and the skin problems stopped. I still get some events of blotches and itchiness, but the itchiness is minor compare to last year and the rashes are gone. I have normal skin now. I also noticed, as well as my life love has noticed, that the large scar from a deep,wide surgical removal of a potential cancerous neoplasm I had since 2011 was now a small mark. Towards the end of last year, that scar used to be a dark pink/reddish color, 1/2 inch thick by nearly 2.5 inches wide scar (at keloid stage) and now it's a light brown/beige, less than 1/4 inch thick by 1.75 inches wide scar (at hypertrophic stage and getting better) upon using oils and lotions from Badger and Dr. Bronner.

Very good quality of oil, except I wish it is a little stronger on making it warmer. It is not greasy at all, and it has a very good smell.

I wish it was a tad bit hotter but it works really well.

Essential oils can be expensive, and this blend saves you money by combining ginger and arnica oils with cayenne. It has a lovely scent, kind of like lemongrass and ginger. The bottle describes it as hot, but I have never had problems with it burning my skin. It feels warm as you massage it in, but otherwise there is no burning sensation. Ginger is a very good anti-inflammatory, especially for arthritic joints, and this has helped my arthritis. Also, arnica is excellent for bruised injuries, it will speed the healing. The bottle lasts awhile because the oil has good coverage. A highly recommended massage oil!

I didn't want to leave four stars, because this deep tissue massage oil is definitely a five star oil. If there was a way to leave 4.98 stars I would because the oil sometimes leaks around the closed cap edges. It never leaks on anything but I can see it on the edges of the cap. As a massage therapist, I find this oil useful for my clients who seem to have trouble allowing their muscles to relax. The aroma of ginger massage oil is pleasant, and reminds myself and clients of true relaxation. The first time I used this product was with a client who suffers from upper crossed syndrome, and after using the deep tissue oil for three session the client and I both saw the results we were seeking. A friend of mine saw the oil and asked where did I get it, and I told her I use Amazon for nearly everything. She ordered her bottle the next day, and also mentioned she was impressed with the results The texture is nice, and I never have to worry about putting too much oil on my hand when applying the deep tissue techniques. I love, love, love this oil and right now I on the search for more amazing, aromatic massage oils from Badger.

I love this oil. It isn’t too greasy and really helps with sore muscles. It smells good too!

While many people say this get REALLY warm, I found quite the opposite! It did not warm at all. Not at all. I tried elbows, knees, shoulder, and wrist. I got no warming effect whatsoever. I called the company this morning and got no answer other than it affects each person differently. If that is the case, then they should qualify their description that it may or may not work. I will commend them on the fragrance though. If I just was looking for a nice smelling massage oil, then it would be fine. But if you are looking for some relief from arthritis or sore muscles, I'd take a pass.

I bought oil to help with joint problems. It has an amazing fragrance & generally feel it works for joints. It makes an excellent massage oil. It was more expensive than most massage oils, but smells so lovely that I would buy it again. I expected the oil to warm up more due to the chilly ingredient, but I guess it works without feeling overly warm. I would definately recommend to anyone with joint pain or people who want a high quality oil that has a really relaxing effect.

Amazing product, the smell is fantastic

nice smell and texture

This oil is not worth the price it is being sold at. Other massage oils that are effective can be had for much less

Perfect for my massage. I will definitely repurchase. The smell is good. And it doesn't burn for me.
