PRODUCT ACTION:

This cream is enriched with protein and amino acids, and fortified with MSM, an organic form of sulphur which eases muscle and joint pain. MSM assists in the smooth running of joints as well as with general suppleness, and bonds with the protein structure in tissue thus providing elasticity and movement.
It is only in its pure form that sulphur acts as an antifungal and antibacterial, making this cream appropriate for the treatment of skin disorders. Sulphur is renowned for the smooth running of muscles as well as joints, so this cream can be very useful to help speed the repair of sporting injuries. It can be used for general stiffness after a brisk workout or to soothe aching muscles, and even to accelerate the repair of cuts and grazes.

MSM Cream
Yin Yang MSM Cream was formulated to apply to the skin around painful joints, in the tradition of the 2000 year old practise of taking sulphur baths (balneotherapy) to ease the symptoms of arthritic conditions. This therapeutic topical cream contains two active agents, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) and Essential Oil of Limes.

MSM belongs to a family of compounds that are abundant in the food chains of terrestrial and marine life. It is a sulphur containing nutrient, (sulphur being some 34% by weight), that is the stable end product of a series of compounds that provide sulphur in a bio-available form to some 85% of all living organisms. The fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, making up some 0.8% by weight or 200gms in a 70kg adult, sulphur plays an important role in the integrity of the connective tissues, and in many of the metabolic processes of the body.

Studies, primarily conducted in Israel, suggest that balneotherapy (including sulphur baths), can be of benefit to patients with arthritic conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Positive effects reported by those taking sulphur baths, include improved strength, decreased morning stiffness, better walking ability, and decreased inflammation, swelling, and pain in joints. Sulphur has been used traditionally in some of its forms (milk of sulphur, flowers of sulphur), also as a topical treatment for a variety of dermatological conditions. It has both mild antifungal and antibacterial activity.

Essential Oil of Limes has a long tradition of being used in the belief that it may help to relieve the symptoms of arthritis. This essential oil pressed from the peel of the fruit, is thought to have anti-rheumatic, anti-scorbutic, antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, and fever reducing properties. Like sulphur it is also thought to be beneficial on the skin. Yin Yang MSM Cream contains 9% MSM (3% elemental sulphur) and 1% Essential Oil of Limes. The cream is based on an emulsification of organic wheat germ oil (high in vitamin E and the sulphur bearing amino acid methionine), organic coconut oil (moisturising and antiseptic function), fermented soya protein (rich in amino acids including the sulphur bearing amino acids methionine, cysteine, and cystine), organic cider vinegar (astringent and anti-fungal properties), and pure spring water (for hydration).

Directions For Use
Yin Yang MSM Cream can be used all over the body, or specifically around painful joints or irritated skin. Apply twice daily.
