In this video I'm going to give you my honest physical therapists review of Hempvana Ultra
strength pain relief gel for arthritis and does have hemp seed oil here for moisturization. Now
this is marketed for use with hands, feet, elbows, wrists, ankles and knees. So arthritis in those
joints, it's valet free, paraben free, gluten free, and it's not supposed to be greasy. It's
a gel, which is a more water-based product. And honestly, I've never looked at this before. This
is the first time live on camera here that I am checking this out. And it says it's the number one
hemp pain relief brand in America. So that's pretty cool. The active ingredient listed in this
is menthol. It's got 8% And that's it. I think that's the only pain relieving
ingredient in this the rest of it's a gel and the hemp seed oil for moisturization. Let's
take let's open this product, take a look at it and see what it's like I'm going to rub it on
and see if it feels a certain way. See, let's just see how it feels.
So there we go. There's a container. It's got this plastic seal on it. Take that off.
And nice little cylindrical container with smooth edges. Open it up and it's sealed here.
It says number one hemp pain relief brand in America. It just works silky smooth hemp Vana.
Oh, this just popped off. All right, so there you are, it looks kind of
green, kind of like slime. My kids play with stuff that looks like this all the time. But
it is not for pain relief is completely for fun. And honestly, I'm grossed out by stuff
that looks like this. But I'm going to be brave for you guys today. So the instructions here say
for use by adults. And it says apply generously to the affected area and massage into the painful
area until thoroughly absorbed into scan Repeat as necessary. But no more than four times daily.
That's a very common recommendation in the pain creams here. There's no
restrictions on the container here about age, I looked on the box here. Oh, there is right here
it says children under two years of age, consult a physician. So you can use it for
children over two years, it says and it also says not more than three to four times daily.
So just a little discrepancy, no more than four times here, three to four times here.
Not that big of a deal. All right, so let's get some to generously apply on my arm here. And it
has a mental smell to it. You can definitely smell it smells nice and generously apply some here just
as the instructions say until it's absorbed and so it's definitely kind of slimy gel. And
it is very moisturizing. I can see that for sure. And it says to massage it. So I'm going to massage
my arm here and get it to go in and sorry for the close up of all my arm hair and scars and
I've been in sports I've scarred up my arms over the years. bumps and bruises dings and scratches.
But there you go. So it's it's been absorbed doesn't take long at all. I'm just kind of
massaging it in, going with the grain on my arm here rather than against the grain.
And it feels nice. It's not as slimy anymore. It's definitely more
lotion, any water sensation, like it's not a watery necessarily.
But it's definitely been absorbed. Like each time that I give it a pass. I feel a little less on my
skin. And my skin feels a lot smoother than it was I was kind of dry. Right before I started shooting
this video here today. I can feel the menthol for sure. And it's gently giving me a cooling effect.
It's it The smell isn't as strong as some other things out there like Biofreeze is a big mental
pain relieving agent, but it's not Biofreeze is definitely stronger than this. And I'm not I don't
remember off the top my head what the percentage is for the active ingredient but this one's just
8% So it's a it's a lighter version of Biofreeze but with hemp for the for the moisturizing effect.
Now, menthol is a derivative of the mint plant so it's a natural thing and hemp of course is
a plant too and that's a natural thing. So this gets my stamp of approval for being a
natural product and relatively natural product like that. And like I stopped stroking it a second
ago here and it's soaked in I am not wet on my arm here anymore. I feel moisturized for sure. So that
was really nice. Now going back to menthol, it's commonly used in topical analgesics. And
it's proven in research to temporarily reduce pain doesn't do much for the long term. And arthritis
is a long term condition. So if you are suffering from arthritis and you're looking to put this on,
expect only short term relief, not long term, you've got to get to the root of the problem in
order to begin to treat your arthritis problem, so that you can get the inflammation and swelling
down. And we have a lot of videos about how to do that here in our channel. If you go into the
description below, we have a link to get to our playlists, all our videos are organized in nice,
neat playlists by conditions. So like if you have knee arthritis, for example, there's a playlist
just for that back arthritis, there's a playlist for that, and so forth. Now,
we don't have everything, we're still building our video library here over time. So check back
in if you don't find something that suits exactly your needs, and we hope to have it soon. Now as
far as side effects for him fun to hear. The only thing listed here is an allergy alert, which says
if prone to allergic reaction from aspirin or sell a sick lates consult a doctor before use doesn't
say anything else. Now my expectation would be is if there's redness on your skin, if you have
irritation. If your skin texture begins to look different, like you start to get little bumps
or blotches on your skin, that's probably a side effect or reaction happening, I highly doubt
you're going to have any serious side effects from using Hempvana. It's such a gentle product,
I don't think that many people will have serious side effects. It's not like over the counter pain
medications, or definitely not like prescription string pain medications. So this is this would be
something to try for your arthritis relief before going to go get the you know, the ibuprofen,
the NSAIDs, the Tylenol, those kinds of things, Tylenol is not as strong as I preferred either,
but it does definitely have some side effects. And then of course, prescription
medications from doctors are going to have some side effects as well. So this is a nice first step
to use for some temporary relief. And getting into my honest review about this
my honest opinion. I love that this is not oily, so I'm not concerned about my clothes
getting damaged because of the oils from it. It's simple. It's just menthol, which is nice too. A
lot of people underestimate the effects of menthol for pain relief, and they go straight to taking,
you know, pills for this stuff, when you can really get away with menthol for a lot of times
and think about if you can slap this on three to four times a day, that's some serious relief that
you might be able to get from a simple product like this. It's definitely a more natural product
than the medications that you see out there. So I like that about the headband as well. My only
recommendation as far as how to use this though that's not on the container is if you're still
having worsening pain as time goes on. And it's been more than several days, I'd say like three,
four or five days, definitely more than a week, then you need to do something else,
you need to go on to something stronger for pain relief. And you probably need to figure out what's
causing you to flare up the way that you are. And that that whatever it is that you're doing,
you need to stop. That's what's going to help you out over rubbing this on and continuing
your thing. For instance, a lot of people with knee and back arthritis and more they're on
their feet. The more active they are, the more they get flared up typically. And so you might
put this on just to mitigate those effects. If you know you have to be on your feet for a long time.
But ideally, you need to start adjusting your schedule and lifestyle so that you're backing
off so that you can flare down from your flare ups, and then put yourself in a position where
you can fix the root problem. Overall. I like it and Hampvana is good. There's
a link in the description below here to get it from Amazon. I saw it at Walmart. I have not
checked other stores but I would not be surprised if stores like Target, Walgreens, CVS carry this
as well. If you're looking for more products that are natural, non invasive, and don't involve
medications, we reviewed tons of other products like Hempvana, and they're in a playlist in the
description below. You can check those out to find natural pain relief solutions for yourself. Hey,
thanks so much for watching this I hope to see you in the next video friends. Bye
