Recipe Weekend: Recipe for Natural Pain Relief- The Formula Creams

  Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this product, free of charge, from The Formula, for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it. All opinions are my own.

Pain relief shouldn’t come with side effects, and recovery should be supported naturally. The Formula offers a groundbreaking solution, combining ancient herbal wisdom with the power of organically grown CBD and essential oils to deliver fast-absorbing, effective relief.

Their products address pain, inflammation, and circulation with no harsh chemicals or synthetic medications—only clean, natural ingredients. Created by acupuncturist Dr. Candace Jania, The Formula is a women-owned brand committed to providing natural wellness solutions that help people live pain-free and perform at their best.

The Formula has 3 formulas to address most pain needs, and we were sent samples of the 3 creams, to check them all out:

• Family & Skin Wellness: green colored bottle-Safe and gentle for children over 2, The Formula For Skin is ideal for eczema, rashes, sunburn, and bug bites, offering parents a chemical-free alternative to steroid creams. Lavender oil soothes and benzoin oil heals skin. Herbs like philodendron and Kochia Fruit stop itch and clear redness. Borage and calendula oil further enhance the protective and moistening qualities of the cream.  I forgot to take photos (it was an uber long day)- but I ended up using our sample after a day out on the parade route- even with a hat, my face burned like a tomato! I used the cream for 2 days and not only did it take the pain away, I never blistered or peeled! WOWSA- definitely buying a full sized jar for our medicine cabinet!

• Women’s Health & Menstrual Pain: rose colored bottle- Designed for women, The Formula For Cramps cream offers a natural solution to menstrual pain—no pills or side effects, just soothing relief.  This formula contains Chinese Angelica root tips, Sichuan pepper, licorice, wild Angelica, motherwort, mugwort leaf, safflower, sappan wood, among other herbs, and smells amazing! But the proof is in how well it works- tested by Miss Grace, she gives it a hearty thumbs up. She only had enough for one day, but it really helped to ease her severe cramping. And she can never find anything that works! Adding this one to our 'to buy' list too!

• Chronic Pain & Everyday Relief: black colored bottles- Whether it’s arthritis, joint pain, or everyday discomfort, The Formula for Pain cream, or spray, are perfect for those looking for natural, long-lasting relief. Top athletes trust this formula for fast relief from injuries, post-workout soreness, and muscle discomfort. The Formula For Pain supports faster recovery and improved performance by reducing inflammation and enhancing circulation. By combining pain-fighting ingredients like safflower and Sichuan peppercorns with aromatic essential oils, menthol, and camphor, every single ingredient works together to soothe your worst aches. NOTE: this formula DOES contain CBD, the others don't. Because of the CBD, both Grace and I were unable to test this cream ourselves (we have reactions to it). A friend offered to test it for us. They tried it after a long day working an event and being on concrete. Their leg muscles were sore and kept trying to seize up. After putting the cream on, they noticed the cramping easing within 10 minutes, and within an hour the inflammation was reducing as well. they were really impressed with how quickly it worked compared to other 'natural' based formulas, and would definitely buy it for the adults in their household. They did say they probably would get the spray, just to keep from having it on their hands (aka less messy).

You can purchase all of the creams on the Formula website. But first, subscribe to their mailing list, and you'll be sent a code for a 15% discount!
