Abstract
Analgesic formulations to be applied topically that are reported to relieve moderate to severe pain due to tendonitis, fibromyalgia, shingles, insect bites and bee stings, ACL, arthritis, and sinus headaches. In many cases, test subjects report immediate pain relief with a single application and complete pain elimination with only a few applications. The formulations are in a coconut oil base which is skin friendly. The primary active ingredient is wrightia tinctoria, which when combined with other ingredients, causes the formulation to exhibit a synergistic effect on pain relief unexpected from using the ingredients alone or in combination.
