I love the balm for my hands....what about you?I get better results for me with Blue Emu or Blue Relief gels. Icy hot does not seem to have the "oomph" for me and my RA. I know others who like you LOVE Icy Hot.
I think I could add some pure Emu Oil to Icy Hot and get the same stuff I like only it would be much cheaper... ...one day I might try that out.
I have also experimented with taking our fav hand lotion and adding some emu oil and a few other things. The results are actually not bad. I knooooow, but hey, it gives me something to do on "those" days...
I'm big on rubs. None of them work for too long....but there's just something about that deep warmth that makes me feel like I'm doing something. lol
