Holographic Balms

Did I forget to tell anyone about this ahead of time?
Maybe.... I hope you can forgive me 😅

Limited stock on the full sizes but the travel sizes are pretty solid!

A new approach to our Infused Pain Salve with 100% Natural Fragrance oils. Rich pumpkin and persimmon are gently sweetened with brown sugar, spices and kumquat linger into the day. The Arnica and Moringa Pain Salve sports a slightly green hue, the result of a Ten Hour low heat infusion process with Whole Arnica Flowers and Moringa Leaves. As someone who “Bruises like a Peach”, I wanted to add an additional boost of natural plant power to our Favorite Pain Salve formula!

The only place I'm a regular is at the pharmacy drive thru pick up. Anyone else? I have to imagine the pharmacy techs know who I am by this point. Feels like I'm here at least once a week.
🙄
I have spent almost 20 minutes in the pharmacy pickup because my prescription had to be input a second time in order to get it filled. But it's filled! Thank goodness!!😭🤌

All sizes and strengths of the Arnica and Moringa Lavender Creme are in stock online!

💞👀 Keep an eye out for an exciting update this week if you love the idea of an Arnica and Moringa infused Pain Salve but don't like or can't use Lavender.... 👀💞

Shipping orders!
I haven't had three orders of matching UNSCENTED balms in... a while! Two are returning customers, and the last is one Custeez !!! 🥰
Thank you to everyone who shares their experiences with friends, shares a little balm with a fellow chronic pain baddie, or even makes a purchase once a year. Y'all are why I keep doing this!!

Inspired by to let go of the expectations and control I tend to put on my work. I'm going to share my intuitive watercolor paintings more often as well as other things I do.

Tell me where your Pain Salve has traveled this winter!

Products are all in stock and for the next few weeks things should ship out (from me, who knows what USPS is up too) pretty quick.
Leave a note if you want me to write something for a giftee 💞

Text: Forever part of my creative process, A&M Pain Salve.
Pictured: a messy watercolor art set up. The center has an Arnica and Moringa Pain Salve from Holographic Balms. Two little paintings are next to the pain salve, one looks like someone exhaling smoke as they become one with the environment. The other is a groovy abstract peice with lots of oranges and reds.

🌈Pain doesn't discriminate, and neither do we!🌈

Chronic pain has a nasty way of keeping us far away from participating in pride events. If there is something we can do, why not do it?

🌈Every order will get one of our iconic Pain Salve samples to share with a fellow chronic pain human, and a special limited run pride edition of our stickers. The pride stickers just arrived this afternoon and I cant wait to add them to the first orders ever!!!

Take extra good care of yourselves

Pain Doesn't Discriminate and We Don't Either!

Every order will get a free rosemary citrus sample to share with a fellow chronic pain human, and I'm about to hit publish on the listing to buy a sample for $1+ shipping!

June 1st is the last day to get a free travel size jar AND a free sample with any Full Size Pain Salve order!
I appreciate all of the new followers who have been checking out my little business.

My name is Holo!

I started out on this journey because of unmanaged muscle and joint pain and being yanked off NSAIDS due to gastritis, "They're eating your insides". At the time, (pre 2018) I was left with little way to manage my pain.
I have an autoimmune condition that is likely hEDS but also seems to take a shape similar to sjogrens. I have been fighting trigeminal and occipital neuralgia for all of 2025 and I would not recommend, -1000000/10.

Today I make a Pain product that has truly changed my life. It doesn't fix my trigeminal neuralgia, that would require a wish spell, but it manages so much of my pain that I can go to events, see friends, and have a life. Im careful and have to plan ahead for my limited energy.

!!! I don't end up bed ridden for a week after going to a concert because I was standing all night, those pains are managed, that is my little bit of magic.



Would you keep your sample or share it with someone else?

I've been in too much pain to do events since last fall. Every time it seems I've made a breakthrough, something else pops up to make things harder.
But things are SLOWLY getting better. My brain is back online, moving soon, going to Altpro Expo this week, finishing up the semester. The horrors persist but so do I!

Please tell me how your life has improved because your pain has been getting better?

It's been a hard month. I miss being a regular at places. Having somewhere I knew I would find friendly faces no matter when I went. Not driving through the pharmacy multiple times a month as different meds are available for pickup.

Wishing my fellow disabled humans comfortable imaging and easy discovery procedures this year!
We deserve it! 😤
I have been working on seeing an allergist for the first time and I'm worried about how effective I will be when trying to recount my experiences. Having all my specialists at the same health system until now has made my Healthcare management more doable. I can't imagine trying to recall all of my presenting problems at every new appointment. It makes my head hurt thinking about it 😵‍💫

All full sized products are back in stock! Ready to ship 🎉🎉
✨️
The first 9 orders of the new year will receive a sample to share a little bit of magic with someone in their life!
✨️
The long term test of the cardboard jars has failed but the product inside is just fine. So yall will get the benefit! I wish I could have stuck with them but they discolor within weeks of being filled. Please reuse or refill your little sample jars where possible. If using compostable packaging had worked I would have been over moon but sadly this was not a good fit.
✨️
I will also be adding a few of the plastic jarred samples to my website this week for $1 plus $5 shipping if anyone has someone they want to but can't afford a travel sized at the moment. I hope this can improve access to the Little Bit of Magic that Pain Salve is 💞
Take extra good care of yourselves in 2025

The irony of learning about rheumatic diseases while my arthritis flares is not lost on me!!!

I'm sticking to gentle heat and the Arnica and Moringa Double Strength to get me through this textbook!
School work has taken me away from bullying you all with love but I'm excited to come back with more knowledge and understanding than ever before.
If we got to meet at this weekend, thank you for your kind words, willingness to give a shot despite the results being improbable. I make these products because I NEED THEM! Know that I push for the best possible results because WE DESERVE EXPERTS who understand our experiences intimately.

Sending so much love and comfort to all of you 💞
