These work much better than I expected them to. The sleep & sore muscle balms help me get to sleep & avoid strong medicines somewhat & the scents are really nice. When feet, arms, hands, or joints are hurting from fibromyalgia or arthritis or swelling from retained water, the healing balm (or healing massage oil) sometimes entirely takes away the pain for me and 3 of my friends so now we keep it with us all the time to apply whenever we start to hurt (I've used up 4 small healing balm and massage oils) and am ordering more. The lip balms are great too, & when I used the healing gardener's soap on my face accidentally it didn't bother my sensitive skin (great exfoliator when used just like a regular soap in the shower - don't rub, avoid eye area, & rinse "delicate" areas well). Badger's aromatic winter balm smells good & works better than Vick's to keep sinuses and chest open.

The only tin I really use with any frequency is the sleep balm. I rub a bit on my temples and on the frown line between my eyebrows :) and it smells nice and helps me drift off to sleep. The massage/sore muscle one wasn't strong enough to really work on its own, but the massage feels good. I usually go for the more analgesic cremes for my shoulder; a vanilla rub from my local store works great (aloelife) they have a website. The hand therapy one is never moisturizing enough for me--but it's a mild treatment. I usually need a Lubriderm type lotion. I still gave this 4 stars because the sleep balm is nice, and any help I can get drifting off to sleep is welcome!

I have the sore muscle balm and the sleep balm and also the foot balm, which is the absolute best for sore feet. I am a diabetic with peripheral neuropathy, and it literally takes most of the pain away when applied and massaged in at night before sleeping. Whatever herbs and spices they put in it, really warms the foot and makes it tingle with relief afterwards. The sleep balm is very nice too, as it does help to calm you and it smells wonderful, especially when applied to the upper lip so that you can smell the lavender in it. I sure hope that drugstore.com gets more of the Badger Foot Balm in stock so I don't have to buy it elsewhere...

I got this set free as a gift offer here at drugstore.com; to me these were close to useless. They smell like olive oil and edible spices -- it's like rubbing food products on your skin. Although I am sure they work, the scent was unbearable for all three.

I use all of these on my feet and heels as a lip balm, under eye cream, and a cuticle cream. But don't use the sore muscle rub on the lips!

The sleep balm is soothing, the healing balm calms my sore hands when the skin gets rough, and I used the muscle balm on a sprained ankle while camping and the pain and swelling were much more reduced the next day than I expected. They are oil based, so if "greasy" textures bother you, try using just a little at bedtime. I find a little bit works effectively and doesn't get all over the sheets or seem wasted.

This is a wonderful little selection of balms. The scents of each are pleasant and even delightful. The balm for "sore muscles" is soothing and really works. I also like the calming balm with lavender. I have not only used it to sooth and comfort me when I am ready for bed, I have used it to sooth a sore nose when I suffered a bad cold, used it on irritated or itchy skin, and found welcome, soothing relief every time. I plan to buy more of these products when my current supply runs out!

I have this three-pack, and I love it! All of the Badger Balms moisturize my lips wonderfully, though they take a while to sink in to the rest of the body. Personally, I don't like the scent of the "sleep balm" and it obviously has no effect whatsoever on the body's energy status. The sore muscle balm has a great scent.
