“I keep a jar of Steuart’s Pain Formula by my bed and reach for it at night when my knee pain flares up. It knocks the pain right out,” says Mike Marsden of Mabel, Minn. Marsden’s been using Steuart’s Pain Formula for about 4 years and says he’s constantly recommending it to other people. Steuart Laboratories originally developed Steuart’s Pain Formula for race horses. Over the years, it has gained a following for treating other animals and humans. The cream contains extract of the herbs comfrey and arnica in a liposome base that penetrates the skin rapidly, says Gary Steuart, who founded the company in 1982. “People now use the product to relieve joint and muscle pain associated with arthritis and injuries,” Steuart says. Rose Johnson of Hazleton, Iowa, uses Steuart’s Pain Formula to relieve the tissue pain caused by fibromyalgia, a disorder characterized by widespread pain and tenderness in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. In addition to pain relief from Steuart’s Pain Formula, she appreciates that the product causes no side effects. Joel Sloan of Mabel was familiar with Steuart’s Pain Formula because he used it regularly for treating dairy cows with mastitis. “It really helped the cows because it causes a heat action and gets the blood flowing in the udder,” he says. When Sloan was recovering from hernia surgery several years ago, his bowel and urinary function slowed down. “I rubbed some on my abdomen and in 20 min., I could feel the product working and my bowel and urinary function were restored. The pain was gone.” Warren Ward of Pemberton, Minn., says his knees ached so terrible at night that he couldn’t get to sleep without taking painkillers. “An orthopedic surgeon told me both my knees were shot, I had bone rubbing on bone, and I needed knee-replacement surgery. Then someone told me about Steuart’s Pain Formula. I started using it and in three days I had no pain in my knees, I went right to sleep at night, and I haven’t taken a pain killer since. “I like Steuart’s product because there’s no odor, it doesn’t stain your clothes, and you don’t feel a thing when you apply it. It’s an excellent product and I know it works,” Ward says. Steuart’s first product – an udder ointment containing comfrey – was introduced in 1982. Today, the company Mike Marsden uses Steuart’s Pain Formula whenever his knee pain flares up. manufactures and markets more than a dozen herbal and natural-oil healing and pain products for both human and animal use.
