Origin and etymology of the name horse balm: One might mistakenly think that the composition of horse balm contains or once contained some part of a horse. In the past, horses were very important for survival, so they were cared for to the best of one's ability, sometimes even better than people. To prevent the household from suffering too much damage due to injury or illness of a horse, our ancestors developed this special and valuable herbal ointment, which they named horse ointment or horse balm. Horses were treated with such a gel if they had muscle injuries, tears, sprains, and also respiratory illnesses.
Over time, horse gel began to be increasingly used by people for the care and stimulation of tired limbs and muscles. Recently, horse balm has been widely used in sports and for pain-relieving massages, and its popularity is growing among all generations.

Directions for use: Gently rub the gel into the skin for a few minutes. In case of severe fatigue, the horse gel can also be applied to the affected area 2-3 times a day, preferably in the morning and evening. Krauterhof cooling horse gel or balm is suitable for external use only.
