At 5kind we are not just here to provide fantastic natural therapy products, but also to share the uses and benefits so that you can get the most from our clinical skincare range. We’re going to start with our most popular product - 5kind Hemp Active Gel, which contains all the necessary ingredients to deliver fast acting relief to tired, aching and heavy limbs. To help you get the most from this product, we’ve listed the top 5 ways in which our hemp joint gel can improve your life:

1) Ease aches and stiffness

Whether you are experiencing aches and stiff joints after a workout, or joint pain due to an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, our hemp gel can provide soothing relief and give you increased mobility and flexibility. Thanks to the hemp oil which lowers inflammation and rosemary oil which can provide relief to aching joints, this unique formula gel is perfect as a massage gel for use pre and post workout, or as part of your daily routine to help minimise joint inflammation.

2) Help treat sprains and injuries

We all know how frustrating an injury can be, particularly if it is holding you back from your regular routine or fitness regime. Minor sprains and strains can be particularly frustrating, as after you have initially treated with the RICE principle - rest, ice, compression and elevation, you’ll need to take it easy until the affected joint or area has healed before you start exercising again. Thanks to our Hemp Active Gel, you can speed up the process and get back to your routine. Rub on to the affected area, as you would any other muscle relief gel and let the antioxidant compounds of rosemary oil and hemp oil deliver relief and decrease inflammation in sprained joints.

3) Improve blood circulation

Our hemp joint gel contains camphor, a useful and long-established traditional remedy for pain, inflammation and irritation. When applied to the skin it can increase blood circulation which can have some amazing knock-on effects on your body. For example, increased blood flow means the muscles are being supplied with fresh blood and oxygen and muscle waste is being carried back to the kidneys more effectively. This improved waste management results in less pain after working out, faster recovery times and better overall tissue health.

4) Relax muscles

Sometimes it can be difficult for your body to relax when it is experiencing tightness or stiffness in the limbs. As you hold your body rigidly to cope with the stiffness or pain, you will find it almost impossible to relax. Using a muscle pain relief gel such as 5kind Hemp Active Gel will provide soothing relief where you need it most, enabling your joints and muscles to relax. The unique combination of hemp extract, camphor, rosemary oil and menthol cools and soothes stiff, aching muscles and helps your whole body to wind down.

5) Help you get a better night’s sleep

If you’re in pain or have aching, tight joints you’ll find it difficult not only to relax but also to sleep. By treating aches, pains and sprains and helping your muscles to relax, you can enjoy a calmer, more mellow approach to bedtime, aiding you to get a good night’s sleep. Restful sleep is one of the best ways to heal your body, so soothing your aches away by applying our hemp joint gel before you go to bed, is one of the best ways to get the rest you deserve.
