When it comes to natural pain relief, even the best product won't work at its best if it's not applied correctly. This guide walks you through exactly how to use each Zea Relief product - from the right amount to use, to the best technique, to when to apply - so you get maximum benefit every time.
Zea Relief Kunzea Pain Relief Cream
Best for: Muscle aches, joint pain, arthritis, growing pains, general soreness.
Apply a small amount (about the size of a 50-cent piece) directly to the affected area and massage in gently using circular motions until fully absorbed. For best results, apply 2-3 times daily - particularly in the morning to loosen stiff joints, and at night before bed to support recovery while you sleep.
Tip: Warm the area slightly with a heat pack first - this opens the pores and allows the cream to absorb more effectively.
Kunzea Concentrated Massage Oil
Best for: Deep muscle relief, post-exercise recovery, trigger point therapy, remedial massage.
Apply 4-6 drops directly to the skin and massage firmly into the affected area. The concentrated formula means a little goes a long way. Ideal for use during massage therapy sessions, or after exercise when muscles need targeted recovery support. The oil absorbs quickly and won't leave a greasy residue.
Tip: Warm the oil between your palms before applying - this helps it penetrate deeper into muscle tissue.
Kunzea Roll On Liniment
Best for: On-the-go relief, targeted spot application, insect bite relief, kids and active lifestyles.
Roll directly onto the affected area and gently massage in. Because it's a roll-on, you can apply it precisely to a specific joint or muscle group without getting product on your hands. Keep it in your bag, gym kit, or car for relief wherever you need it. Apply as needed throughout the day.
Tip: Great for the back of the neck, shoulders and knees - areas that are hard to reach when applying cream.
Kunzea Bath Salts
Best for: Full-body muscle recovery, relaxation, stress relief, post-sport soak.
Add half a cup (approximately 125g) to a warm - not hot - bath and stir to dissolve. Soak for 20 minutes to allow the Kunzea oil and mineral-rich sea salts to work their magic. For best results, use 3-4 times per week as part of a recovery or relaxation routine.
Tip: Add a few drops of our Kunzea Essential Oil to the bath for an even more powerful therapeutic soak.
Kunzea Essential Oil
Best for: Aromatherapy, stress and anxiety relief, respiratory support, air purification.
Add 4-6 drops to a diffuser filled with water and run for 30-60 minutes. Alternatively, dilute 2-3 drops in a carrier oil (such as jojoba or almond oil) before applying topically - do not apply undiluted essential oil directly to the skin without dilution. You can also add a few drops to a warm bath, a heat pack, or a bowl of steaming water for inhalation.
Tip: Kunzea Essential Oil blends beautifully with lavender for extra relaxation, or with peppermint for an energising, clarifying effect.
Multi-Purpose Rescue Balm
Best for: Dry and irritated skin, eczema-prone skin, minor burns, bruises, rashes, sensitive skin.
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage in gently. Unlike the cream, the balm has a thicker texture and is ideal for very dry patches or areas needing a protective barrier. Can be used on hands, elbows, heels and around joints. Suitable for babies and children - use a pea-sized amount for little ones.
How Much Is Enough?
One of the most common questions we get is: "Can I apply too much?" The great news is that because our products are 100% natural, non-toxic and non-irritating, you can adjust your application with confidence. If your pain is more intense than usual, it's perfectly fine to apply a little more - there are no harmful side effects from using a larger amount.
That said, our concentrated formulas are designed to deliver results with minimal product, so start with a small amount and add more if needed.
