Originally designed for the quilting market, Mary Ellen's Made By Hand Relief Gel soothes swollen, sore hands without leaving a greasy residue. The gel contains White Willow Bark, which has been used for thousands of years in Europe and China to reduce fever and inflammation. It's still used today for the treatment of pain, headaches, and inflammatory conditions such as bursitis and tendinitis because it contains salicin, which is a compound similar to aspirin. Even if you're not a quilter, you'll appreciate the comfort and immediate relief that Made By Hand provides.
