If you live with gout, you know the pattern: a joint that turns red, hot and untouchable, then days of aching and stiffness while it settles. Zea Relief's Kunzea range helps relieve muscle aches, pains and soreness and mild joint pain, gently, right where you need it, with no burning heat and no extra pills.
Gout, in plain language
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a build-up of urate in the body, either because the kidneys are not clearing it quickly enough or because too much is being made. The urate forms needle-like crystals in a joint, and the immune system reacts to them. That reaction is the flare: sudden, severe pain with swelling, warmth, redness and a joint you can barely move. The big toe is the joint most often affected, though gout can also hit the feet, ankles, knees, wrists and elbows. Symptoms usually come on quickly and last one to two weeks.
Gout should be diagnosed and managed with your doctor. For condition information, visit Healthdirect Australia. For a longer read on stages, triggers and diet, see our guide to understanding and managing the symptoms of gout.
Sound familiar?
Flares love the middle of the night. You go to bed fine and wake up unable to put a foot to the floor.
The joint is so tender that the weight of a sheet is too much. Shoes and socks are out of the question.
One customer put it perfectly: when she is not having a flare, her feet still "feel very arthroscopic all over". The ache does not clock off when the swelling does.
Warming menthol and capsaicin rubs are the last thing an inflamed joint wants, and they sting on thin, stretched skin.
Between the flare medication and everything else you take, adding another tablet for every sore day is not the answer you want.
Some weeks it takes you out entirely. And when you do get moving you compensate, so the other foot, the knee and the hip end up carrying the load and aching too.
We will not promise to fix any of that, and nothing in a jar can. But thousands of Australians use our Kunzea range to take the edge off sore, aching joints and tired muscles, gently.
Why Zea Relief is different
It comes down to three S's: science, safety and scent.
Tasmanian Kunzea Oil is naturally rich in studied constituents, including Alpha-Pinene, Viridiflorol and 1,8-Cineole, with documented anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. It is why this is registered with the ARTG as a listed medicine (AUST L 360 331), not just another "natural" cream.
Gentle, topical and targeted. No burning heat, so it will not add warmth to a joint that does not want it, and it goes only where you put it. No known contraindications, so most people use it comfortably alongside the treatment plan their doctor has set.
A mild, calming botanical aroma, fresh and quietly invigorating, never overpowering. No menthol sting and none of that hospital-corridor smell. Customers with sensitive noses tell us it is the first pain cream they actually enjoy using.
Listed indications include: relieve muscle aches, pains and soreness · relieve mild joint pain and soreness · relieve mild rheumatic aches and pains · anti-inflammatory · relieve mild nerve pain and neuralgia · relieve feelings of general malaise. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.

Gentle steps for sore days
During an acute flare, follow your doctor's advice: rest the joint, elevate it and use a cold pack. This routine is for afterwards, when the swelling has settled and you are left with the ache, the stiffness and the muscles that have been compensating for a week.
Most of our customers who live with gout apply it first thing, after a shower. Smooth it on gently rather than rubbing it in hard, and if the joint is still tender to touch, work around it instead of over it.
A week of limping loads up the other foot, the calf, the knee and the hip. The Concentrated Massage Oil is made for those bigger, achier areas.
The Roll On lives in a bag, a glovebox or a desk drawer. No mess, no hands to wash, so a top-up takes ten seconds.
When it is the toe or the foot that has been through it, our naturopath's suggestion is half a cup of Kunzea Bath Salts in warm water and a 20 minute soak, then smooth the cream in and around the joint afterwards. Save it for once the flare has settled, not during it.
Be persistent. Most people who get on well with Kunzea use it daily for a couple of weeks before they judge it, not once on a bad day.

Real Australians, real words
"I was referred to this cream by a friend because I suffer with gout. When I'm not having a gout flare, my feet feel very arthroscopic all over. Kunzea cream definitely makes a difference when my hubby massages it in each night."
"I put it on in the mornings to relieve my gouty feet, arthritic knees and irritating hip, and it works. I can move about much more freely."
"My husband has chronic pain and gout in knee, leg and foot. I rub it into his knee, calf muscles and foot each morning and it gives him relief all day."
"I recently suffered with gout so I massage a few drops into the area several times during the day. Relief!"

Australia's natural Kunzea pain relief experts
Your questions, answered
Not with the gout itself. Gout is caused by urate crystals forming in a joint, and lowering urate is managed with your doctor, usually through medication and diet. A topical cream does not touch that. What Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is listed for (AUST L 360 331) is relieving muscle aches, pains and soreness, mild joint pain and mild rheumatic aches, which is the everyday ache many people are left with between flares.
An acute flare needs your doctor, rest, elevation and a cold pack rather than anything rubbed into the joint, which is usually far too tender to touch anyway. Most people find Kunzea more useful once the worst has passed, on the surrounding muscles and on the stiffness that lingers. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
No. There is no menthol or capsaicin in it, so there is no burning or stinging. That matters when a joint is already inflamed and the skin over it is stretched and sensitive. It has a light natural botanical scent and absorbs without leaving your skin hot.
Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is applied topically and has no known contraindications, so it acts where you put it and most people use it alongside their existing treatment without any issue. If you take allopurinol, colchicine or anything else for gout, it is still worth a quick word with your GP or pharmacist before adding something new.
Some people feel something on the first application and plenty do not. The customers who get the most out of it use it consistently for two to three weeks rather than judging it on one bad day. You have 30 days to decide.
Then you get your money back. Use it for up to 30 days and if it has not helped, contact us for a full refund. You do not need to return the product.
