Protégé Pain Relief Cream NERVANA Soothes and Relieves Pain

My thoughts: NERVANA is a small jar of cream designed to relieve pain. I am delighted to have been chosen to try this product and share my opinion. First a bit of history...... I have experienced back pain for years. It is a blessing that thus far I have been able to elude surgery for relief. Of late, the pain has not been as excruciating but it is pretty much a companion.

Then, too, being a lady "of-a-certain-age" carries elements of discomfort in the knees, feet, hands, elbows. Take your pick, they do seem to enjoy calling on me.

So when a bit of back discomfort (I definitely distinguish between discomfort and pain - pain is that which only will be relieved by strong medicines whereas discomfort you are able to relieve with light medicine or perhaps surface applications.) that was trying to move into the area of "pain" came calling, I felt (pun intended) that a generous application of Protégé 's Nervana would be a good choice to try. I over-indulged in a bit of house-keeping and paid for it by bed-time and definitely the next day. So I applied Nervana in the evening before bed. I was able to rest without getting up to take further medication. The next morning and evening I again applied the Nervana. This kept me comfortable without any more medication. I was delighted!

It is my policy that surface applications and rest of the affected area are the first line of defense in the area of pain relief. I like that there are actual Anti-inflammatory ingredients in the product. In my opinion, Nervana is a good choice to use.

How Much Should I Apply, and When Should I Apply It?

Simply rub in the cream, and allow it to absorb for about five minutes or so. You can use the cream two to three times a day as necessary to relieve the symptoms of pain and swelling. With Nervana containing 2oz of cream--depending on the size of the area being treated and the frequency of applications--most individuals can expect each jar to last anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks of daily use.

How Quickly and For How Long Does NERVANA Provide Relief? : 

Rub into the skin thoroughly for a minute or two until you can tell that it has been absorbed at the site of the pain. NERVANA begins to relieve within 5-15 minutes. The relief generally lasts several hours.  Repeat this 3 to 4 times per day over an initial period of at least 7 to 10 days and then on an as needed basis.

When is the best time to apply NERVANA?

NERVANA is a topical anti-inflammatory treatment that can be applied any time there is discomfort. Apply directly to external areas where you experience discomfort (pain, tingling, numbing etc.) that is a result of the inflammation of muscles, nerves, ligaments and tendons.
If you have traditionally experienced pain from particular ailments at night, you may find it helpful to massage NERVANA into the problem area(s) just before bedtime.  Similarly, if you experience discomfort when engaging in activities (sports, exercising, playing instruments etc.) NERVANA should be applied as mentioned above 30mins  before you begin the activity and 30 minutes afterwards.
