Athletes have enough to worry about when it comes to competing, training, and accomplishing their goals. They do not need the added distractions from health problems. Dr. Cole's intention when creating these products was to make life easier for athletes to keep their focus on their sport. We'll review each situation below and suggest those products that will bring the fastest relief:

2. Pain Remedies - Athletes usually end workout days and competitions in pain. Dr. Cole worked diligently to ensure that people would get temporary relief from all pain with A.M. Pain Balm, A.M. Pain Cream, P.M. Pain Balm, and P.M. Pain Cream. They were meant to be used in conjunction with each other to relieve pain, help people sleep, and to ensure that the body recuperated the way it was supposed to.

3. Muscle Soreness - Athletes are constantly overexerting their muscles to train and compete at the levels expected of them.  Exercise causes tiny tears in muscles. This is normal, and the muscle repairs itself and actually becomes stronger as a result. During this transition, Dr. Cole formulated Muscle Ease Balm and Muscle Ease Salts with herbal ingredients to help with the repair process and help ease the pain. Directions: Massage the balm deeply into sore or painful muscles. Avoid contact with eyes. It may cause drowsiness.  ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Olive Oil, White Willow, Fever Few, Green Tea, Yerba Mate, Calendula, Arnica, Kava, Passion Flower, Valerian, Hops, Lemon Balm, Lavender Flowers, Hemp Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, Menthol Crystals, Camphor, and a blend of Essential Oils. Fill the tub with warm water and add ½ cup or 8 tablespoons of these salts. Mix well. Use half as much for children 16 and under. ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients:  Dead Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Ginger, Ground Cloves, White Willow, Arnica, Menthol Crystals, FeverFew, Blend of Essential Oils.

Products that Help Relieve Pain

Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch, Cuts and Scrapes, and Chaffing

4. Athlete's Foot - Athlete's foot is a fungal skin infection that usually starts between the toes. Athletes experience this frequently because it is caused when  feet become very sweaty while wearing tight-fitting shoes. It is contagious and is commonly found in showers, on locker room floors, and around swimming pools. Once an athlete has Athlete's Foot, it can be tricky to get rid of if you don't know about Dr. Cole's Athlete's Foot Formula which has helped athletes overcome this issue in days, rather than months! ~ Directions: Wash your feet thoroughly and dry them well. Apply a dime-sized amount to each foot. Also apply extra balm between toes and on the areas most irritated by the fungus. Apply at least once per day before bed to effectively eliminate foot fungus. Can apply 3 to 4 times per day for severe conditions.  ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Olive Oil Infused with Organic Herbs: Calendula, Oregon Grape Root, Pau d’Arco, Echinacea, Comfrey, Black Walnut, Burdock, and Chaparral; Neem Leaf, Beeswax, Neem Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Oil of Oregano, Eucalyptus-Peppermint-Cinnamon Oil, and Vitamin E.

5. Jock Itch - Jock itch is experienced by many athletes. It is a fungal infection that causes a red and itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body. The rash often affects the groin and inner thighs and may be ring-shaped. It really is difficult to keep the groin and inner thighs dry while exercising and sweating. Dr. Cole treated many clients who had jock itch and formulated her Jock Itch Formula to help athletes get back to feeling comfortable rather than dealing with the rash. ~ Directions:  Apply Jock Itch Balm 2 to 3 times daily during a flare up. Shower daily with an antibacterial soap and change underwear at least once or twice daily. Wear only 100% cotton underwear for best results.  ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Apply Jock Itch Balm 2 to 3 times daily during a flare up.

6. Chaffing - Chaffing occurs at the nipples, upper thighs, and upper arms of many athletes. This is very painful and is not an excuse to not compete. Athletes used powder, or other solutions with harmful ingredients that would seep into the bloodstream. Dr. Cole, who loved hiking and walking, was no stranger to chaffing. She formulated the Skin Repair Herbal Balm and Skin Repair Cream to enable her to walk without the painful reminder of chaffing. ~ Directions: Apply this all-purpose balm directly to severely dry, inflamed, itchy, irritated, or burned skin on the hands, face, or other affected areas.  ~ Balm: 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients:  Olive Oil, Coconut Oil,  Beeswax, Echinacea, Chaparral, Lemon Balm, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Calendula, Astragalus Root, Marshmallow Root, Oat Straw, Aloe Vera Gel, Neem Oil, Essential Oil Blend, Vitamin E.

Provide Energy and Relieve Stress, Anxiety, and Asthma

8. Energy  - Athletes have different requirements for energy according to their workouts and sports. Many athletes have reportedly used energy drinks, which contain a lot of caffeine. Plus, at a certain point, their energy drops. Dr. Cole was aware of the adrenal system and how it affects athletes as a whole. She recommended using the Vitality Boost Balm daily in the morning and before lunch to help keep your systems in check and to help keep the body energized so it can do what it needs to do without depleting, or crashing. ~ Directions: best to use early in the day. Rub across the lower back, over the site of the adrenal glands that are just above the kidneys. Also, rub on temples, wrists, backs of knees, or wherever you can see blue veins near the surface of the skin  ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients:  Olive Oil, Beeswax, Ashwagandha Root, Dandelion Root, Burdock Root, Butcher’s Broom, Chickweed, Cleavers, Corn Silk, Fennel Seed, Green Tea, Kelp, Nettles, Raspberry Leaf, Red Clover, Rose Hips, St. John’s Wort, Essential Oils of Lavender, Pine, and Rosemary; Vitamin E

9. Stress and Anxiety  - Athletes are expected to perform at their top level at all times. This expectation caused many athletes to be stressed and anxious due to these expectations set by themselves and their coaches. As a result, they may not perform their best. The Stress Relief Herbal Balm, Stress Relief Cream, and Stress Relied Soaking Salts can provide the extra relief along with feelings of peace and being good enough, to help athletes get through these stressful and anxious times. ~ Directions: The Stress Balm is the most potent. Massage into all blue vein areas when needed. Use the cream as you would any other cream. Great to rub on your hands when they are dry or on your feet right before going to bed. Excellent cream to have your massage therapist use when giving you a therapeutic massage. Soaking in a hot tub at the end of the day, with the stress salts mixed in is likely to give you a very peaceful sleep. ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Beeswax, Olive Oil, Skullcap, St. John’s Wart, Kava Kava, Passion flower, Lemon Balm, Lavender, Chamomile, Hops, California poppy, Vitamin E and a Blend of Essential Oils.

10. Asthma - Asthma is something that you cannot just exercise away. For many athletes, the exercise they do actually exacerbates their asthma. Many of Dr. Cole's clients had asthma and felt like their airways were not open. After rubbing the Cold Cough Congestion Balm over their upper chest (just over where the lungs are), they were able to breathe and continue their workouts. For anyone with exercise-induced asthma, applying Cough, Cold, and Congestion should be part of their workout plan. ~ Directions: rub into the chest and throat, and back over the lung area. Repeat as needed to clear pathways.  ~ 100% Organic & Wildcrafted Ingredients: Olive Oil, Beeswax, Horehound, Ginger Root, Wild Cherry, Vervain, Elecampane Root, Echinacea, Chaparral, Chickweed, Colts Foot, Feverfew, Pleurisy Root, White Willow, Marshmallow Root, Menthol Crystals, Vitamin E and a blend of Essential Oils.
