The result of years of research into the development of a highly effective, all-natural topical treatment for reducing migraine and its painful sequelae. Tension Balm may be used prophylactically to limit migraine recurrence, as well as during a migraine episode to halt further progression.
The synergistic combination of therapeutic ingredients in DermaMed Tension Balm target pain and inflammation of migraine in a number of ways:
- Regulates and decreases the inflammatory response of the cerebral neurovascular system;
- Limits serotonin release from platelets, a key contributor to the inflammatory cascade;
- Activates the brain opiate system to increase production of naturally-occurring, pain-relieving neurotransmitters and raise the pain threshold;
- Inhibits the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle, relieving vasospasm and improving brain circulation which is diminished during a migraine episode.
Active Ingredients
Feverfew: Feverfew inhibits the release of platelet metabolites that are potent mediators of inflammation and contribute to painful cerebrovascular spasm.
Evening Primrose Oil: Contains the essential fatty acids omega-3 (linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) as well as GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), and is an important modulator of the inflammatory response.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): Gamma-Linolenic Acid is necessary for the production of beneficial, anti-inflammatory PG1 series of prostaglandins.
Linden: Linden (Lime Blossom) has anti-histamine, anxiolytic and relaxing properties and helps reduce smooth muscle tension associated with vascular spasm.
Ginger: Ginger is vasodilating and anti-spasmodic, helping to improve circulation and relieve painful vascular and muscular spasms. Reduces platelet 'stickiness.'
Chamomile: Chamomile helps inhibit the release of histamine and the subsequent inflammatory response.
Melissa: Melissa essential oil modulates the secretion of immunoreactive beta-endorphins (part of the brain opiate system for controlling pain) through the action of its high ascorbic acid content, and enhances a number of aspects of lymphocytic function in the immune system. It has powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and sedative effects.
Peppermint Oil: Peppermint essential oil is analgesic and anti-inflammatory and is an excellent topical pain reliever.
Olive Squalane: Olive Squalane helps maintain healthy skin hydration and is natural skin penetration enhancer that facilitates absorption of active ingredients.
Magnesium: Magnesium exerts rapid and sustained relief of acute migraine pain by regulating neuromuscular activity due to its effect on serotonin and other migraine-related receptors and neurotransmitters.
Taurine: Taurine is an essential amino acid that has protective effects against cellular damage due to hypoxia and re-oxygenation. Also decreases sympathetic outflow.
Riboflavin: Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) regulates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, maintains endogenous glutathione levels (major anti-oxidant) and is important for lymphocyte replication and mediating the immune response.
Application: Unless otherwise directed by a physician, apply sparingly to forehead, neck and lower neck. Unlimited usage.
Cautions and Contraindications: No side effects or contraindications. Non-irritant to the skin. Not to be taken internally. Not tested on animals.
