Toothaches
Teeth start erupting through the gums for most of us as infants, and this usually is the first toothache many of us experience in life. Dr. Cole knew that something needed to be done, so she experimented with where the product should be applied for best results. She always recommended applying it externally, just in case there were open sores. It worked best when she applied it to the jawline and over the mouth where the individual tooth or gums hurt. Toothaches caused from clenching teeth can be resolved with A.M. Pain Cream or A.M. Pain Balm and your favorite stress-relief product!

Earache
Besides childbirth, gallstones, and kidney stones, earaches are one of the worst pains that many of us experience. Bacteria can enter the ear easily, which can cause pain. Or, excess fluid not draining is another cause of ear pain. Earaches can be relieved by applying a bit of A.M. Pain Cream or A.M. Pain Balm just outside the ear and behind it as well. If you think you may have ruptured your eardrum, this will help temporarily relieve the pain. But, as always, seek medical attention if the pain persists.

Headache & Migraine
Headaches have many root causes. Fortunately, Dr. Cole has a product line that will help to reduce the pain from any type of headache! One of the people who Dr. Cole mentored had been diagnosed with atypical migraines. After much skepticism, the woman tried the product. After two minutes, the throbbing stopped and she was able to carry on with her day. The secret to relieving a headache is simply applying the A.M. Pain Balm across the forehead, behind both ears, and the back lower neckline up to your hairline. This method has worked for all types of headaches, including stress headaches, migraines, and sinus headaches.

Tension Pain
Holding tension in different areas of our bodies is something that most of us do. After awhile, we start to feel shoulder pain, arm pain, back pain, and even jaw pain. Dr. Cole often caught herself clenching her jaw when she was stressed. Her go-to remedy for relieving tension pain was to always use your favorite Stress Relief product first thing in the morning and evening. Until you get into the habit of using the Stress Relief product, you will want to use the A.M. Pain Cream or A.M. Pain Balm.

Lower Back Pain
It isn't until your lower back starts to hurt that you realize just how many activities use those muscles. Not only are you in pain, but it seems impossible to get comfortable at night. Dr. Cole had many patients who told her how tired they were from not getting enough sleep because of their lower back pain. This is when she formulated the P.M. Pain Balm and P.M.

Foot Pain
Your feet hold you up day after day, hour after hour, with some people just resting their feet long enough to sleep! They are stressed and overworked, and like most parts of our body, they can start to hurt after being on them for too long! To reduce the pain caused from overexertion and to temporarily relieve pain caused from injuries, the P.M. Pain Balm or P.M. Pain Cream can be applied to the area where your foot is hurting.

Joint Pain
Our joints lose lubrication and start to wear down from use. For those who don't drink enough water, joint pain can start prematurely. Or, it can start for no reason at all! Joint pain can be relieved by applying the product to the closest blue vein and directly over where it hurts. Dr. Cole formulated the P.M. Pain Balm or P.M.

Growing Pains
The body goes through a lot of physical stress from the time a person is born through the end of life. When babies are very young, they go through their first growth spurts, sleeping a lot more than normal. As children get older, some experience pain. Growing pains tend to affect both legs and occur at night, sometimes even waking a child from sleep. They have been described as throbbing pains and usually affect the shins, knees, and calves. To help with growing pains, apply a small amount of P.M. Pain Balm or P.M. Pain Cream behind the knees as your child gets ready to sleep.

Menstrual Cramps
Menstrual cramps are experienced by 80% of women on a monthly basis due to the contracting of the uterus. Dr. Cole was the mother to two women and stepmother to three more. One day, one of her daughters was in pain from cramps and Dr. Cole advised her to rub some Muscle Ease Formula on her belly. The cramps went away and there was no more moaning due to cramps in that household!

How Transdermal Remedies Work
Transdermal is a big word that simply describes the process that happens when a substance enters the bloodstream through the skin. "Trans-" means across or beyond, and "-dermal" means "relating to the skin," especially the dermis. Put it all together, and you have "beyond the skin."
The dermis is the middle of three layers of skin that protect our body. It is a thick layer of tissue below the thin outer skin layer—the epidermis. The dermis contains capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles and more. A lot happens in the dermis!
For many thousands of years, medicine men and women, shamans, and healers of all varieties—including regular people like us—have applied substances onto the skin to achieve therapeutic effects. Those beneficial effects range from being calmed, soothed, and relaxed, to being fully cured of an ailment.
In today's world, transdermal drug delivery is now an accepted alternative to oral delivery of drugs and to hypodermic injections. But, it wasn't always that way. The FDA first accepted this approach in 1979, less than 50 years ago. For the first two years, the only approved transdermal drug was scopolamine, used to combat nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.
Those of you who suffer from motion sickness are probably very familiar with the patches you can affix to your body a half an hour or so before flying or going deep-sea fishing. They've saved many wretched moments for people over the years.
Interestingly, scopolamine—also known as Devil's Breath—is a poisonous organic compound, obtained mainly from plants of the genus Scopolia. Like many drugs, scopolamine began its existence as a plant.
Dr. Cole first began learning about these very old healing herbs when she found herself having to deal with very sick people who could not take in oral medications of any kind because of their delicate digestive systems. She soon discovered after much experience that the use of transdermal applications of these powerful herbs could be just as effective, if not more so, than oral medications. That's because they bypass the digestive system getting right into the muscles and lymph system and then quickly into the circulatory system.
