I deal with chronic nerve pain from a ruptured disc and somehow this stuff brings genuine relief. Definitely the most potent of the salve offerings in terms of muscle release and medicinal scent profile. One of my favorite delivery methods of the various Asclepius offerings on hand, past and present.

The kind of pain and injuries I have nothing is going to banish completely…however, this salve softens the edge and balances other materia, gives me some temporary relief without drowsiness. I like the warm medicinal scent and light texture that absorbs well. I love this much more than my CBD rubs.

Only gave the Kolonia four stars which I’m now regretting…because the series pairs well with everything and works better layered with proper intention. Should’ve gotten a bigger size of both!

I reach for this all the time. It has helped my husband with chronic pain and my son with eczema. I also feel that it has an amplifying effect on energy healing practices. I find it very soothing and relaxing.

A godsend for chronic illness, building my relationship with Asclepius has helped keep me sane this year and I feel his comforting presence every time I apply this salve to my shoulders and neck

I've been having a real tough time getting to sleep (and staying asleep) lately -- it seems that every time I get tired/comfortable, my legs start to get sore (shins/calves, primarily) and I feel like I need to stretch/move. This might be Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)? Whatever it is, I have found that rubbing some of this salve in not only makes the soreness dissipate -- my whole body relaxes and I'm finally able to get the rest that I need. It's quite remarkable! I've had a twinge in my neck all day and applied some of this salve before sitting to write this review, and I'm already feeling a difference.
One thing to note: this salve is a lot more gooey than most that I own by S+S, which makes me think that it's probably especially prone to melting in heat -- if it's a warm season, I'd advise waiting for cooler temperatures before ordering this, to avoid any shipping mishaps.

My 2024's been pretty intense from the jump and has required me to move through a lot of intense change, and I'm honestly not sure I could've managed without the help of Asclepius. I just moved across the country, had to handle a lot of heavy stuff essentially by myself, and I wasn't sure I'd have it in me to make it work, and I really think this salve helped me power through. This is only the second form I've tried thus far (alongside the water), but this series is fantastic for burnout: staying on even keeling for the work that absolutely needs to be done or putting a BIG loud stop sign in front of everything when rest is necessary. Rubbing this on my throat and sometimes chest every day for the most intense moments of needing to get my life together felt like incredible protection, not to mention it is the most luxurious VapoRub I've ever had the immense privilege of experiencing. A phenomenal ally for winter— and, well, really year-round in this very punishing, ongoing age of illness. Got this hoping it'd help with my chronic pain and was surprised it's, so far, seemed more interested in helping me getting out of the place I was in so I could actually *finally* rest, and maybe (hopefully) that relief is coming soon. This does feel like a benevolent spirit (or spirit!) watching over me and helping to guide me in a better direction, which seems to be a thing for the fixed star series. Real Swiss Army knife-style materia that seems to have a lot of talents— I'd not even mean to get some on cuts in my hand / fingers (and I imagine you wouldn't want to put this on very fresh or large wounds without it being *very* sterile), but noticed they healed *way* faster than without. "Divine Physician" is right! Would love to grab a larger size when I have more money. Definitely worth the hype.

Love this Salve for the pain relief and vitality it facilitates.

I wish that I could have an endless supply of Asclepius salve. It has proved essential to me for applying to the places on my body where I experience chronic pain. Working with Asclepius is life changing, so any materia made under His guidance is wonderful! But the salve might be my favorite of them all, talismans aside. It's been great to use for massages and gently applying to pain points. Asclepius always provides a sense of wellbeing even in discomfort. The scent of the salve is wonderful and refreshing. Definitely recommend and never want to run out.

I use this love this salve and use it frequently: it works great on aching joints, and little goes a long way.

I feel like I'm trying out everything from the Asclepius series, because all of it works so well. The very first purchase I ever made was the oil and water, but my next was this salve. It feels soothing to rub into aches and pains. It works like the oil, but not as instantly palpable in the effect (it is there but feel like it takes a little longer to settle in). I do like the salve form since it's solid and I don't have fear of tipping over and spilling it - oh and the wintergreen addition is so nice!
