Fitogal Horse Balsam is a warming gel-balm made in Serbia and imported to India. It is built around horse chestnut extract, a classic ingredient in European balms for tired, heavy-feeling legs and muscles, together with camphor, ginger and rosemary for a deep, lasting warmth.
Apply it after a long day on your feet, before or after exercise, or on areas that feel stiff. Massage a small amount into the skin, and the cooling-then-warming sensation takes over.
It comes in three pack sizes, so you can try a small jar first or stock up for the whole family.
