"With more than 30 years of experience as a Chiropractor, I can say, without reservation, that Parker's new Helix pain creams provide effective relief, especially compared with other products I've used," said Joseph D.

It also contains arnica, ilex, and tangerine oil. Helix CBD Therapy and Clinical Creams contain 7.4% menthol (active ingredient), plus CBD, arnica, ilex, and tangerine oil. All Helix pain relief products offer smooth consistency, allowing for easy application and optimal absorption.
Parker currently manufactures and sells Helix Professional Pain Relief Cream to healthcare professionals, a formula of 7.4% menthol with arnica, ilex, aloe, and tangerine oil for a fresh citrusy fragrance.
Harnessing the Science of CBD
For thousands of years, CBD has been used in the management of a plethora of health issues. In the field of pain management, the data supporting CBD use is increasing exponentially. A recent paper published by Argueta et. al. in Frontiers of Pharmacology, reports that CBD could have benefits for relieving chronic pain, improving sleep, and reducing inflammation.1
A review of 28 studies (2,454 participants) of cannabinoids, in which chronic pain was assessed, found the studies generally showed improvements in pain measures in people taking cannabinoids. The average number of patients who reported at least a 30% reduction in pain was greater with cannabinoids than with placebo.2
