Apply prior to starting your workout: Posumon Oil, White Flower Oil, Green Oil, Kwan Loong Oil
Apply after your workout: Pain Relief Aromatherapy Oil, Red Flower Oil, Woodlock Oil, U-I Oil |

Alcohol-based products may burn when applied to open skin pores. | Best use of product: Use 2 tsp. Pain Relief Aromatherapy Oil in a hot bath and soak away all your aches and pains. Alternatively, have a massage therapist use this oil while giving you a post-workout massage.
