How Ache Away Balm Works
Made with ingredients that can help reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and ease discomfort associated with everyday joint or muscle aches. This balm may not be effective for deeper chronic pain or nerve pain.
Arnica flowers (Arnica Montana) have been used for centuries as a natural pain reliever and known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, often used to treat bruises, muscle pain, and swelling.
White willow bark is one of nature’s oldest natural “aspirins”. White willow bark contains salicin, a compound that is converted to salicylic acid in the body. Salicylic acid is the active ingredient in aspirin, also known for it’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.
Castor oil is anti-bacterial, high in antioxidants, and contains ricinoleic acid, an anti-inflammatory compound. It can help reduce redness, swelling, and pain, especially when combined with heat therapy (e.g. applied with a warm compress).
The essential oil blend used in Ache Away also targets inflammation, increases circulation, provides a cooling/warming sensation to skin and muscles (similar to “Icy Hot”) and offers a sense of overall pain relief.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. For external use only. Do not use on broken skin. As with any new product, it’s recommended to apply a small test patch to skin first.

I am a repeat purchaser from Homestead and Chill and all items I’ve tried, including this Ache Away, are always very excellent quality and I feel confident in the fact only high quality products are used. Thank you and I will be back.

My goodness! This is amazing! It smells like a warm holiday hug! I may wear it as a “perfume”. And it works so well! I truly love this product!

This balm truly is magic! I’ve been dealing with a knee injury and arthritis for over a year and have tried so many things – Voltaren, BioFreeze, CBD balm, Arnica, etc and nothing really helped, until I tried this Ache Away balm. First the smell is very mild, I struggle with the smell of most Arnica and Pain Reliever balms, but this was very faint, so a win right away. Second, I used it at night, as that’s when I have the worst flare-ups and this product worked the entire night, I was shocked when I woke up and realized I slept through the night without pain in my knee, which never happens with the other products I’ve tried. Ache Away will now be my go to product for pains and muscle tension!

I just got and used the Ache Away Balm this week, and omg, IT’S SO GOOD! Helping give relief to a back pain I’ve been dealing with. Genuinely noticed a difference within 10 minutes. And I love the gentle/natural herbal scent. All your products I’ve tried are solid. This one rocks especially, and I’ll keep buying as long as y’all make it!

phenomenal product. amazing smell and natural ingredients. relief in minutes from major chronic spinal nerve damage as well as shorter term muscle injury. I literally watch Deanna & Aaron grow the ingredients, extract the ingredients, mix the ingredients, and package the product. couldn’t ask for a better way to relieve my aches and pains. been needing a sustainable rub in addition to my CBD/THC/CBN routines. this is the perfect addition

This new balm is extraordinary! There are so many products on the market for pain but they are loaded with sketchy chemicals and preservatives. Deanna and Aaron’s balm contains all natural and organic ingredients so I can safely apply it to my achey joints. It gives instant relief to those parts of the body overworked in the garden and my hands after a long stretch of knitting. Thanks again for another wonderful product!

This is such a beautiful salve that smells and feels like heaven! I use salves so often and make my own, and this is such a wonderful addition to our household’s first aid kit! Gentle and healing for so many aches and pains. Definitely helped a rolled ankle feel better in no time. Thank you Deanna and Aaron! ❤️
Becca Robertson –
This balm absolutely SAVED me on my recent trip to Europe! Carrying heavy backpacks and walking 15+ miles a day, I rubbed this into my muscles every evening and it had such a nice, warming effect on them and it felt so soothing. I really like the texture of it. It’s a soft balm that goes on so smooth but it’s firm enough to not have to worry about it leaking while traveling!
I’ve used just about every balm Deanna & Aaron have made but I think this one officially tops the list for me. ☺️ Thanks for saving my muscles!
