Body + Soul recently lauunched its latest plant-powered body care product, Oki Doki Fast Healing Cream. I had a chance to try out Oki Doki, which features a variety of plant extracts working together for two purposes: cooling to reduce inflammation and pain, and warming to increase blood flow.
The way the body heals is actually kind of paradoxical. In order to have pain relief, we need to reduce swelling, which can be accomplished by cooling the injured spot. But, this can also hamper circulation - the swelling is a natural body response to injury, bringing cells to help restore the injury back to normal.
This cream is designed to reduce the pain while still allowing the blood flow. There are similar hot-cold pain relief creams out there, but not very many that are plant-based. After a recent camping trip and long hike, I was able to try using this healing cream, and it had a very pleasant feel - an interesting combination of both cool and hot. It actually worked really well on some bug bites we got! While we have other creams that do provide relief, they didn't work quite as instantaneously as the cooling sensation that this cream provided. Even if I only ever use it for bug bites and similar injuries, I'll be happy, although it can be used for a wide variety of injuries (as long as it's not applied to broken skin).
The Oki Doki formula is a non-CBD spinoff of the company’s bestselling sensation Miracle Sports Cream, a plant-powered pre-workout and post-workout cream trusted by professional athletes, Olympians and weekend warriors to achieve breakthroughs in athletic performance and accelerate recovery. Both products feature an entourage of over 11 herbs and botanicals, and Oki Doki specifically includes Arnica Montana, Camphor Oil, Clove Oil, Menthol (less than 3%), Tea Tree Oil, and Matcha Green Tea.
The healing cream is also formulated for cuts, scrapes and mosquito bites, to be used once the skin is no longer broken. Featuring increased amounts of Arnica Montana, a powerful natural anti-inflammatory, to replace CBD, Oki Doki is a great pain relief alternative not only for kids but also for active military prohibited from using CBD and those living in areas where CBD products are restricted.
