Christopher's Original Formulas Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment, Herbal Topical for Muscle & Joint Support, 4 fl oz

34yr old male. I suffered an ACL sprain a year ago. It never quite healed the way I expected. Still had random inflammation where my knee would swell. Had trouble walking down stairs. That caused my other knee to over compensate so now I had two bad knee's. Tried glucosamine supplements, ibuprofen etc. Problem lingered for months. Couldn't jog or play basketball. Gained some weight which made things worse. Then one day my coworker told me about this miracle plant called the Comfrey root and how it could treat 'bone' ailments. Sounded too good to be true but I didn't have the time to plant and grow it etc. Found this ointment on Amazon. Saw the reviews and figured why not. All I can say is thank you! I literally saw improvement the first week of use and after a month my knees literally stopped swelling. Truly amazing. It also treats runners knees in case your knees make popping noises. Recommendation for those with serious knees injuries: After use don't walk on knees for 1 hr. Keep knees elevated. After 1st month of use perform squats and light walking for rehab. Then immediately afterwards apply ointment and again don't walk for at least 30mins. I then take a shower then apply more. Definitely apply at night while sleeping and also in the morning. Since some reviews mentioned a strange odor it appears the manufacture listened and it's safe to use in the day now. If you still don’t approve of the smell there is a liquid version by Dr Christopher that will work just as good. I find myself buying more even when I have plenty on hand. Never want to run out of this miracle ointment. Also remember to store in the refrigerator. Update: 3 years later everywhere I go I tell everyone about this miracle ointment. My knees are 100% healed. I can now squat with weights and run faster again. I have switched from this balm version of Dr Christopher’s Bone and Ointment and now use the liquid version more. But both products work just as good. Even though my knees are 100% healed I find myself still using this as a recovery/maintenance solution to keep my knees lubricated. I also put this on the bottom of my feet before I go on long jogs. It makes my feet feel like I’m walking on clouds. Don’t use these words often but this is a Game Changer!!!! Year 4: I literally use it before all my long distance runs. Apply it to hip areas, bottom of my feet and knees. I literally feel no pain during extraneous runs. People ask me about compression knees socks and knees products. Well this is my all natural version and it’s more cost effective. One day if I ever get to meet Dr Christopher drinks are clearly on me!! This man and team deserve an award or something for this product.

I’ve never refrigerated and it works well. This product is a staple in my home. Pain relief, skin healing of any kind, even vericose veins. I believe long term this is very effective for vericose veins. Any natural healing takes time but you can beer it’s healed. Some side effects can get worse and then much better. I would then recommend a liver cleanse, the filter of our body to stop recurculation. Unfortunately the jar has become half the size. I hope Dr Christopher family keeps his heart and intentions to help the less fortunate heal please

I purchased this comfrey ointment because I had a trigger finger! I applied it to my hand for two weeks straight and I put a cotton glove on to make sure that the salve stayed where it was supposed to be. And I’m happy to say that my trigger finger is no longer a problem. I now have full use of my hand. I can make a fist tight just like I was able to do before with a healthy hand! This works for tendon’s and bones! Its nickname is bone knitter. I would recommend this to everyone. It is fabulous the way it works. I now have two hands that work very well thanks to Comfrey!

Only time will tell as to results, but my initial impressions are that it doesn’t smell bad, in fact it is quite obviously made with olive oil, which is the primary aroma. As to greasiness, my suggestion is to use it sparingly, as anything made with olive oil is going to have a fairly high level of lubricity, that’s pretty much a given. I don’t think the cost is excessive given the fact that ALL the ingredients are completely natural, and are known for their historical effectiveness. Since all the ingredients have been used for decades (centuries really) for the recommended purposes listed on the jar, I feel confident there should be some measure of relief for various joint issues. I will gladly update this review after a month or two with a more thorough report.

This is a good product looks like a troll booger however it’s hard and it lasts a very long time and gets rid of pain! Well worth it highly recommend!

Honestly, this is probably only my 2nd time writing a review. However, I felt I HAD to on this product because it has amazed me after only having it a few hours. I have been suffering with hip pain for almost a year and rely on Tylenol and Aleve for relief. Before I could take some meds, I remember this Christopher’s ointment was delivered today. I decided to try it before taking any medication. I’m so serious, it’s been about an hour since I rubbed my hip, and I didn’t think it would do anything quickly BUT IT DID. I can only imagine how much better I’ll be by using this daily for a while. I also have been having pain in my left hand between the thumb and index finger, I rubbed it on my hand and it was hurting to rub it in. But I’m telling the truth the pain is gone. I will continue using it on my hand as well to hopefully experience full pain relief.

I really wanted to live this cuz I love all things dr Christopher’s but I just got this and wow was this bad.. first it has to be refrigerated so that’s kinda annoying because I’m never going to remember to use it.. but I was more than willing to give it a chance and deal with the fact that it has to be refrigerated! So I tried it on after my shower and omg it’s bad.. now please keep in mind/believe me when I say I’m the LEAST PICKIEST PERSON when it’s comes to weird natural products! Likes I’ve used Etsy handmade stuff and weird home remedies stuff.. like the benefits are always the most important thing for me not smell or texture, and I can put up with a lot! But this was sooo waxy and hard and thick I had to try and melt in my hand my rubbing it a looong time (like why too long) and then I put I on my affected “areas” and my face (I put it on my face because I noticed it has a lot of the similar ingredients to dr Christopher’s beauty balm one, and like I said before I’m not picky usually).. Anyway it goes one yellow and leaves a yellow tint on your skin.. it also doesn’t absorb AT ALL not matter how much I rub it in and eventually little grain of rice sized wax develop from trying to rub it in.. so I collect those and wash off my hands. Ok at this point I’m done and I go lay down and hope it absorbs eventually but Nope.. So eventually I went and tried to rinse some off because the smell and stickyness was making me insecure (my husband gets back from a long work trip today and I’m trying be right) and it barely even comes off with water and a towel.. wow Yeah also it smells pretty bad which I would of totally not even cared about it would of just been lighter/easier for my skin to absorb.. I also really don’t like that the 2nd ingredient was wheat germ oil because that’s thee most comedogenic oil there is! And again I don’t usually care like I use coconut oil on my face everyday and that’s comedogenic too but this stuff was wayyyy worse! So for all those reasons I don’t see myself being able to use this.. 3 stars because I fully believe anything dr Christopher’s makes WORKS but unfortunately I won’t be able to use this one.. I will however try the massage oil!! I have a feeling the oil with absorb better or at the very least it will be easier to apply and I won’t have to deal with wax grains developing! Maybe I got from a bad batch tho idk.. it did smell pretty bad/bitter but that could just be cause all the herbs..

It really works my son fell off his bike and had injured his foot really bad, I bought this product and not only did it heal his foot it left no scars. Will buy again!!

I'm so grateful for this wonderful product, which has helped my hubby with a lower back pain (nerve associated) issue. This and the nerve drops (with the original formula) are helping his back steadily improve, and heal naturally (without pain killers). He's massaging a small amount - about the size of a quarter - into his back pain area each night (putting a paper towel overtop the massaged area to protect the bedding from any potential staining - though we don't think it would) and each day when he wakes up, he comments on how much better his lower back is feeling. Pain is definitely diminishing and going away as the inner nerves and tissue around the injury begin to heal with this natural help. I'm also using occasionally for tight shoulder muscles and have found that it also eases things very nicely. The scent is natural (not nasty or smelly) and reminds me of beeswax soap (if you like that scent). We'd recommend happily.

I knew I damaged my knee back in August . It was constantly burning and paining when I moved it. Went to physio, nothing seemed to take down the pain and burn. I started using this comfrey ointment 3 weeks ago. I rub in all over my knee a couple of hours before bed every night. I'm not pain free but the burning left and the pain decreased from level 10 to 3. I can move my knee around a lot more. Turns out I had a tear by the meniscus causing the problems. Wish I knew about this stuff when I first got injured back in August. Might not have suffered so much.

Tried a lot of things, this appealed to me due to the Comfrey

Great seller, the product was genuine and arrived on time. I deducted one star because the next day of my order this seller reduced the price by 400rs I guess. So I was wondering why. Anyway I used the ointment and didn't observe such bad smell I had 9 fractures around backbone and pelvic region. I could not explain if it helped or not also I used it only for 10days because of Comfrey. Will definitely update after a visit to doctor.

works a charm. very effective.
