May is National Arthritis Month

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and in the United States, 23% of all adults—over 54 million people—have arthritis.

“About 24 million adults are limited in their activities from arthritis, and more than 1 in 4 adults with arthritis report severe joint pain,” reports the CDC. As new OTC products enter the marketplace to address pain management, how can we determine which ones will be most effective?

Hisamitsu America, the marketers of Salonpas®, are duty bound to educate, update and share the contemporary view of how and where topical analgesics fit within pain management. The company motto is ‘Salonpathy’ – which means to improve the quality of life through patch. As such, Hisamitsu America commissioned a video tutorial by Dr. Bob Arnot, who over the course of his career as a physician, Chief Medical Correspondent and War Correspondent, has been exposed to a wide variety of pain management drugs and approaches.

Soap Cauldron Unboxing & Review

 

About Soap Cauldron

Our company, Soap Cauldron is the creative ground from which all our soap creations originate. We are family owned and operated and located in beautiful Northern California and we’ve been making natural herbal soaps in small batches for our family and friends as the Three Sisters Apothecary and Soapy Tails brands since 1999. The art of alchemy best describes what we do. Our handcrafted bar soaps are made in the time-honored tradition of the first soap guilds of 7th century Europe. Now just as it was then each bar is handmade in small batches with only natural botanicals, pure essential oils and gourmet butters. From the early recipes coveted by these guilds, these beneficial ingredients nourish and support skin daily.

We incorporate ingredients from nature into our cauldron and transform them into nourishing and gentle soaps that gently cleanse and pamper the skin. We know that in this fast-paced world the simplicity of nature is often forgotten. We bring back that reverence for nature with our products. The natural plant oils we select are pure and chosen for the unique properties they impart to our bars. These oils are gently heated with finely ground nurturing botanicals that will infuse their benefits to the finished soap bar.

What makes our brand unique:

  • We are community based, and family owned. We care about transparency and simplicity.

  • We use only natural ingredients which is why we only make anhydrous (oil based) products.

  • Our products are made naturally and packaged environmentally with the smallest carbon footprint possible.
