Ingredient Investigation :: Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is one of the ingredients in Sore No More! that most people at least have a passing knowledge of. Yep, you've got it, the stuff you put on your sunburn.

Aloe Vera is a very versatile plant. It's most renowned for being helpful with burns and skin abrasions. However it is also thought to be helpful for digestive tract issues and can work as a laxative if needed.

For the purpose of Sore No More! Though, we just appreciate that Aloe Vera works as an excellent conditioning agent for the skin. We don't just want our product to relieve your pain, we want it to feel nice when you apply it to your skin.

What are Migraines?

She'd felt it coming on when she woke up that morning, but had hoped that after a cup of coffee and some breakfast it would go away. Now here it was, 2pm. Three hours of work left and she couldn't even look at her computer monitor without squinting. Her head pounded, her stomach achedand those awful fluorescent lights were bearing down on her. She didn't want to leave, it would cut into her pay, she'd already used all of her sick days.

A scenario like this is not unusual for the 28 million people in America who are thought to suffer from Migraines. Approximately 75% of those migraine sufferers are women.
Migraine sufferers can have a range of triggers (that can set a migraine off) and symptoms. Common migraine triggers are hunger, dehydration, light (like florescents), changes in the weather, lack of sleep, strong odors (especially if they're chemical in nature), and others. Triggers may vary between men and women. For example- women may be more prone to migraines before or during menstruation.

Per the Mayo Clinic website, the symptoms of Migraines include, “moderate to severe pain [that may be unilateral], pulsating or throbbing pain, pain that worsens with physical activity, nausea with or without vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.” These symptoms are caused by chemicals produced by the body in response to blood vessel enlargement in the head, which is the root of all migraines.


Migraines can be a challenge to live with. Some people only ever have one in their life while others have them up to 6 times a week. Fortunately there are treatments. Next week we'll continue this discussion with a look at three alternative treatments that can be used to manage your migraines. Until then, keep using your Sore No More! (some of our clients have found that applying just a bit to their temples during a migraine can help the pain. Be sure to keep it out of your eyes!)
