Christopher’s Original Formulas Complete Tissue & Bone Massage Oil, 4 fl oz | Herbal Topical Oil for Massage & Skin Care

I have carpel tunnel and Dupuytren's contracture; This is a thickening of the fascia tissue in the palm of the hand. It can cause a hard lump or band to develop. I had a lump removed from my palm which also left scar tissue. My acupuncturist suggested wrapping my hand when I go to bed with Castor Oil to soften the tendons. I did and it helps! I found Christophers oil and thought I would give it a try. It contains the following ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, wheat germ oil, white oak bark, comfrey root, mullein leaf, black walnut leaf, marshmallow root, gravel root, wormwood herb, lobelia herb, skullcap herb, and beeswax. I have tried it for a month so far. Here is what I noticed: • Unexpected pain relief. I didn’t realize it would help with pain. • The oil sinks in nicely. I do wrap my hand or wear a support glove so oil doesn’t get on my sheets. • This oil absolutely does help soften my stiff tendons! • This oil also softened a calcified toe and about a months time. • The price isn’t bad considering it really does go a long way. • It helped heal torn muscles in my shoulder. I had a scar there from previous surgery on my shoulder. This oil softened the scar and faded it more!! I wasn’t looking for that but a nice plus! I also tried the Christopher’s Ointment. Same ingredients however VERY stiff ointment. I have to dig into it with my fingernail to get any out of the jar. That is not the end of the world. I just prefer the oil. I’m sure the ointment will go a very long way. I would think the results would be the same. I haven’t used the ointment but a few times because it is so hard to get out. It did work great for pain as well.

My goodness, this is really good stuff. My husband has an old back injury that is always giving him issues. I decided to try this to use as I massage his lower back. The first time I did, he fell asleep like a baby and said his back felt great the next day. I have given him so many back rubs over the years and have never had him tell me that he felt so much better afterwards if not for the next day. It worked well for him so I hope it helps others as well.

I really like the quality ingredients and the olive oil/wheat germ oil base. I add a little clove oil, cinnamon oil and tangerine oil with cedar oil. The scent is nice and the warming is enhanced. Without the additions, it is still very effective. I use it on my sore knees and feet before bed and I sleep so much better. Good for all joint or muscle pain. Fair price. I order extra and give to friends who get hurt at work. Thank you. I was not reimbursed and paid full price.

I purchased Dr. Christopher's Formulas Complete Tissue and Bone Massage Oil because I was desperate. To fully understand how well this worked for me, you need to understand the saga of my story. I was injured in March of 2020. The pain was unbearable. I could only take a few steps with a cane, while I cried in pain. Due to Covid lockdowns it took some time to get in with a Dr. After the MRI the Dr recommended 6 weeks of physical therapy, which helped for a while. But I would often take a step and nearly fall because my knee would give out, or the pain would take my breath away. Then the Dr tried draining fluid off my knee. That also helped for a while, but didn’t cure the problem, and I continued to have similar issues. Fast forward to January of 2021, and I traveled an hour each way to get an OrthoLaser treatment 3 times per week. Of all the previous options, this was the most helpful. However, when I was released from treatment, they told me I couldn’t return for at least 3 weeks. After 10 months of nearly daily debilitating pain, I was desperate for some relief that would continue the OrthoLaser’s progress. A friend mentioned some essential oils that might help the different issues with my knee, so I started looking on Amazon and I discovered Dr. Christopher's Formulas Complete Tissue and Bone Massage Oil had many of the oils she mentioned. I used the oil twice daily for about 2 weeks. The results were AMAZING! I had more relief in those 2 weeks than in the previous 10 months! Howerver… I am only using this product when the pain becomes unbearable, and am continuing the search for another essential oil blend that will work instead of this one. The reasons for my continued search are 3 Huge CONS. 1. This product must be refrigerated. Refrigeration makes it very inconvenient to use because it can’t be taken with you. I wanted something I could take on trips or keep in my purse to help in emergencies and this is definitely not an option with this product. 2. This product can stain your clothes. I was able to work around this Con by putting the oil into a roller bottle so it didn’t spill, and by using a cotton ball to apply and wipe off excess oil. 3. The package directions say not to use more than 2 weeks at a time and no more than 4-6 weeks in a year. I contacted an herbalist friend who told me that some of the ingredients, when used for extended periods, can cause serious health complications. Think, liver and kidney etc issues. So, I decided it’s not worth the risk of further complications. The final analysis is Yes, it Works! Amazing! I love it. However, the Cons mentioned above mean that I will only be using this product on a very limited basis, and will continue my search for another product that can be used long term.

After using other Dr Christopher products, I tried the CT&B capsules for right shoulder pain I began having this year. The caps upset my GI tract. So I got the CT&B massage oil. I was getting physical therapy for abut 3 weeks, which helped, but the CT&B oil seems to really make the shoulder hurt less and feel better. So offhand I'd say this is a very good product. It also seems to make my left knee feel better. I also tried the CT&B ointment, which I didn't seem to like much. I bumped my knuckle hard on a ladder when working today and put a sore spot on my big knuckle, I when I came in I washed my hands and put CT&B massage oil on the sore knuckle, and it felt much better soon after. I used to have sharp throbbing intermittent pains on the callouses on the balls of both feet, more so on the left foot. I now sand them down with a disc sander on an electric drill to keep them from getting too thick, and then apply CT&B massage oil (or coconut oil) every day. My feet now feel 95% better. Apply it wherever you have sore spots. I use it often.

Having a long history of muscle pain, my cousin suggested this for me. I apply it to a small cotton circle then tape it in the area of muscle pain and leave on overnight. It's actually quite amazing in that the muscle pain with continued use decreases significantly overnight. I also used it for my toe that I cut open. It had a hard time healing so knowing there were some healing herbs in this, I put some on a gauze and wrapped toe. I left it on overnight and any time during the day I wasn't wearing shoes. I noticed the pain decreased after the first night and healing sped up quickly. After 3 days all nerve pain was gone (cut was very deep) and healing was rapid. I also massage my muscles after gardening. Smell is a little odd, but when something works this good I don't care. I also poured some in a hot bath one night when I was in severe pain. Worked like magic and pain was reduced over 75%.

This product has so many benefits that it is hard to say which benefit I like the best. It helps with the pain in my hands, it helps to nourish my skin. I found out that it is the comfrey in this oil that tightens my skin, which helps with wrinkles and sagging skin. There are NOT any chemicals at all. It is a completely natural formulation of herbs and the most healthful oils on the face of the earth, which are a blend of olive oil and wheat germ oil. I just cannot say enough good things about this product as well as all of Dr. Christopher's formulas. I am so grateful to his family for continuing to manufacture his formulas to continue to help people. Thank you to them for that!

This product has help a few people and I am glad it worked almost immediately with all people I shared this with. There’s nothing like getting rid of pain with a product, especially in liquid form to rub on and massage in.

Purchased it for Bakers Cyst in my knee and realised my swollen joint in my hands pain and swelling dissapeared. I stopped using it for about 3 weeks and pain and swelling errupted again Now I will never stop using it as I have realsed the Comfry really works
