“I just adore this product! I suffer from cervical dystonia and this product has helped me manage my pain between treatments with my neurologist. I also recently had a stress fracture in my hand and it helped with my recovery. I love it because it is lightweight, non-greasy, easy to apply, and the odor is pleasant, not too strong.”

Danielle, Equestrian, FL

“I just can’t believe how often I use NuvoCool Sports Therapy. Whether after a particularly challenging bike ride, or after twelve hours on my feet working as a nurse, NuvoCool takes care of the pain and tightness, particularly in my back. I am so pleased to no longer be so reliant on NSAID’s for pain relief!”

Jessie

“As someone who works as a laborer in site construction and who had suffered a significant neck injury, requiring emergency medical surgery, I am always in need of some relief due to sore muscles. Not being a fan of ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or prescribed pain medications, I consider a topical pain reliever very beneficial. Having tried a number of different topical pain relievers over the years and not being overly satisfied for one reason or another with the results, I was happy to hear that there was a new product coming on the market with much more consideration put into its ingredients. Upon using NuvoCool Sports Therapy, I was pleasantly surprised at the satisfying results I quickly received. I have used both the roll-on and the gel a number of times and found not only immediate but long-lasting relief to the affected muscle group I had aggravated. Due to its very satisfying results and its well thought ingredients I am quick to recommend NuvoCool Sports Therapy to anyone I know who would benefit.”

William

“I have used the NuvoCool Sports Therapy Gel and roll on to treat sore muscles in my neck and back. I have had both neck and back injuries and often find I am sore and stiff. NuvoCool is the first product I turn to, especially to avoid taking too many NSAIDs. The gel instantly warms and relaxes my tense muscles without the uncomfortable burning sensation of other products. The gel absorbs quickly and easily into the skin, leaving no sticky mess on your hands or clothes. The scent is pleasant and not too strong. After using this product, I find that my muscle soreness has disappeared and I am left with relaxed and comfortable muscles. I feel confident using NuvoCool because it is developed with essential oils and natural products. Whenever anyone mentions sore muscles or body aches, I immediately recommend NuvoCool.”

Shannon

“I am using Essentalia’s NuvoCool Sports Therapy on a daily basis and love this product, because it has a pleasant smell to it and it DOES work. Being a 51 year old active equestrian / horse trainer I am on my feet a lot and after a long day my knees and feet and hurting from the walking and riding. NuvoCool Sports Therapy helps me with the arthritis pain in my joints. NuvoCool has its spot in my bathroom / night stand / coffee table… you name it… just to have it handy. I definitely recommend this product for joint pain / bruises / strains. It works great on horses too! “

Doris

“I have a chronic back injury due to an automobile accident. My occupation is Commercial/Residential cleaning and I can’t live without the roll on! I apply before work and it loosens my muscles right away. I also am prone to migraines stemming from my neck and shoulder. The relief I feel when applying this is very fast acting and helps more than any other product I’ve ever tried.”

Tracy

“As a massage therapist I had the opportunity to use NuvoCool Sports Therapy on multiple clients. I have used it before starting treatment on specific areas when the pain level was already high for the client. I have used it during a session to help with discomfort following various techniques. I gave the product to a couple clients with knee pain due to arthritis at a moderate to high level and they were pleased with a noticeable decrease in their discomfort level. I would not only recommend this product to other soft tissue professionals but also to anyone experiencing musculature and or joint pain.”

Barbara

“Sunday afternoon I was closing up my horse trailer while talking to a friend. I swung the drop down window up and turned to speak with her, not realizing it had not been securely latched. As I stepped away, the window came down and struck me in the back. The pain was intense and it took me a few minutes to straighten up. My friends immediately ran for the NuvoCool and rubbed it on my bruised back. (The window weighs 40-50 pounds.) After, when I went home, I applied NuvoCool again and alternated with ice. I was very disappointed that I would probably have to cancel a trail ride I planned for the next day because of the injury to my back and being too sore and stiff to ride a horse. Surprisingly, the next morning my back was not sore at all, unless I pressed on the spot where the window had hit me. I loaded my horse and had a wonderful 3 hour trail ride. Friends at the barn could not believe it! NuvoCool kept the pain and swelling down. Thank you Dr. Hoag!”

Sandy

“I was first introduced to NuvoCool Sports Therapy Gel when my shoulder was injured in a water tubing accident. I felt like I had hyper-extended the muscle/ligament and or joint. I was really frightened that I had damaged my shoulder and was going to need to seek medical attention. I iced it and took 800 mg of ibuprofen. I had very little relief. Later that evening I was offered the use of NuvoCool and I used it prior to going to bed. I felt instant relief as I applied it to my shoulder but thought it must be the warmth of the gel and really it will be a matter of time before I would need more oral pain reliever and or ice. I slept that night well and upon waking in the morning my shoulder felt fifty percent better. I continued the regiment of ice, oral pain relief and NuvoCool. Within 48 hours my shoulder, which again was really hurting felt ninety-five percent better and I felt I was in the clear. I continued to stretch it and apply the gel, no more oral pain relievers needed. I hiked 30 miles of the Appalachian Trail for four days and experienced so intense muscular strain in my lower back. Dr. Hoag suggested I give NuvoCool gel again and I absolutely agreed to use it. Again, I felt relief from the discomfort immediately and what was interesting to me at this time was the relief lasted over time. This made me curious, how and why was I feeling relief over time? I was not sure but I started to believe that unlike other pain relief gels I had used, this one was really preventing the pain from reoccurring. I am a 55 year old female Cross-fit athlete and lifting weights at the gym I strained the front muscle of “that” shoulder, and this was the day that I became 100 percent convinced Dr. Hoag has developed something that interrupts, heals, supports and most importantly relieves sore muscle and joint pain. The Cross-fit gym I train at is associated with a physical therapy office. I suggested to the trainers and to the owner and doctor at the facility to try this product. I love that it is environmentally sound, uses essential oils and provides my body with the fast and least invasive healing support it deserves. Thank you Dr. Hoag for creating a product that I feel blessed to have in my gym bag. I can’t wait to have my 90 year old Mom try it on her hip pain! My mom took some of NuvoCool to my sister Deb who has mastocytosis and is in chronic pain. She loves it!”

Rebecca

“I would like to share with you the experience that my mother has had using your NuvoCool product. My mother is 75 and was diagnosed with arthritis in her feet a year or so ago. It is located on the top of both feet in her metatarsal bones. She has been in pain and complained for well over a year of how her ability to walk is rapidly being impeded. In fact, she sort of shuffles her feet rather than picking up and bending her feet and ankles. She has not been able to go shopping or stay on her feet for extended periods of time due to pain. She recently (within the last 6 weeks) went to see another doctor for help and the only options offered were cortisone shots in her feet and a severe surgery. She declined both as she knew they were not a solution. They prescribed Voltaren Gel, a 1% sodium diclofenac NSAID Gel) for her to use to reduce inflammation and pain. It did not work for her at all and was very expensive. I gave her the NuvoCool Sports Therapy when I flew home for a visit two weeks ago. I applied to her feet and within 20 minutes my mother walked into the kitchen and told me she could NOT BELIEVE that her feet did not hurt! In fact, that very first day, we took my grandchildren to the park and my mother was able to walk and stand at the park with me for two hours! Every day for my 5 day visit my mother would comment numerous times throughout the day that she was amazed and so thankful that she was not hurting. When she would wake up in the morning her feet hurt and then she would apply it and again within 20 minutes – no pain. She cannot understand how this is working so well versus the fact that doctors gave her no hope. In fact, she just called me this morning and said that her feet were hurting her so badly this morning that she was nearly in tears and again within 20 minutes the pain had subsided after applying NuvoCool Sports Therapy. She said she just could not believe that it is still working even a week after I left. She is so conservative and afraid she will run out that she will not use it at night, saving for daylight when she has to walk. Since I have mailed her a second bottle I am hopeful she will begin to use at night. Thank you so much Dr. Hoag. Your product has truly made my mother’s life better.”

CBD Products Reviews

I am a 74 year old female professor at a leading medical school with ME/CFS who has been using NuvoCBD Lotion and Cream all over my body including my face every morning for the past five years to alleviate long-term muscle pain and cramping in my legs and back as well as joint pain that is aggravated by activities like gardening and hiking. Before using NuvoCBD I needed to take NSAIDS, wear menthol pads and use TENS electrical stimulation to alleviate my muscle pain and cramping. I no longer need any of these treatments.

While using it I also noticed that NuvoCBD Cream was a great moisturizer, as with age my skin was becoming very dry. It is the only moisturizer that I now use including on my face. It really helped decrease the size of my brown spots (keratosis) and my tendency to develop skin tags. It appears to have anti-inflammatory properties as it really helped with the pain and decreased the inflammation caused by shingles and recurrent cold sores. It also helped decrease the pain and swelling I would have in my face following dental extractions and dental implants. For these conditions I would use it twice daily applied to the affected areas. 

I highly recommend this product.

Because of my personal connection with the inventor of NuvoCBD cream and lotion, I have had access to this product for about two years and have used it personally and have provided it to about 20 friends, relatives, and colleagues.  As an Emeritus Professor of Pathology at a major medical school, I acknowledge that my observations are anecdotal and not based on extensive and controlled medical surveys, but the positive  feed-back I have received has been remarkable for its use with  a variety of conditions.   As predicted, my contacts have used it successfully to block arthritic and muscular pain in the knees, wrists, neck, and back.  I have noted that some of these people are what I would call high responders and get better relief from NuvoCBD cream than from anything else that  they have tried. One 75 year old male was having difficulty getting downstairs in the morning because of his arthritic knees, but he tried the NuvoCBD and walked 8 miles a few days later.  His knees have improved with time, and he seldom uses the NuvoCBD for his knees now.  Notably, his sister also had badly arthritic knees and similarly responded quite well.  A 40 year old female friend with painfully arthritic wrists tells me that the NuvoCBD made the pain go away better than anything else, and I have since been routinely sending the NuvoCBD to her as well as to her mother, who apparently uses it all over her body.

I personally have been using the NuvoCBD for bursitis pain on my hip-the pain usually subsides within 5 minutes of application.  I gave some NuvoCBD to my physical therapist, who has been helping me recover from a couple of surgeries, She has successfully used it on herself andt several of her patients.  She tells me that she has had better results  with the NuvoCBD than with any other CBD brand that she has tested.

What I have found surprising about the NuvoCBD is its positive effects on the skin.  Three of my contacts have found that the NuvoCBD stopped the pain and promoted rapid healing of shingles lesions, caused by varicella-zoster virus.  Two  have  reported rapid healing of cuts and scratches.  Another even reported to me that the NuvoCBD helped chase away her skin tags, but I have not had that confirmed yet in another individual.

NuvoCBD cream has not helped all my contacts with every attempted application, but most of my contacts who used NuvoCBD cream have liked it and asked for more. Based on these experiences of my various contacts, I can only conclude that the full potential of NuvoCBD is probably not yet realized.

I am a 65-year-old female architect with Long COVID for the past 5 years. Part of my disease has been severe muscle pain and cramping in all the muscle groups of my body, including hands, legs and back. I have been using NuvoCBD Lotion for the past 5 years to alleviate this severe cramping muscle. However, as I was using it, I noticed its anti-inflammatory properties made it very effective against the severe pain and itching of poison ivy that I frequently get exposed to in my yard. I highly recommend this product.

I gave NuvoCBD to an Ironman triathlete, older adults who garden with arthritis, 3 of my running partners and myself. All of us being no strangers to pain in shoulders, knees, hips, feet, etc!! The Ironman used NuvoCBD lotion for his regular aches and pain associated with training and felt indeed it was beneficial and would recommend it. The gardeners used NuvoCBD lotion for their arthritis pain and while it made a difference in their pain. My running ladies love NuvoCBD. I would make them apply it before a run (one with a sore back and the other two with sore hips). They said it indeed made a difference in pain, however after we started sweating the effects diminished. I have a history plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain and trochanteric bursitis. My most recent injury seemed to be with my hip flexor. NuvoCBD definitely bridged the gap between pain management and corrective exercises & stretches. I apply NuvoCBD to my hip, lower leg and the bottoms of my feet. I love it.

Review of NuvoCBD lotion with 1000mg CBD 

I have been using the NuvoCBD lotion with 1000mg CBD plus Sensoff Technology product for at least 7 years and I love it!  I am an athlete (swimmer and biker) and I use NuvoCBD on my sore muscles.  NuvoCBD is terrific, taking away most pain I’ve had post workout or race.  Additionally, if I am feeling stress in my neck or if my lower back is acting up, I’ll use NuvoCBD lotion liberally to take care of the pain.  This product is amazing!  The essential oils along with CBD make it a very unique product that works wonders! I love that I can easily apply NuvoCBD lotion and it dries quickly with no greasy feel.

Review of Nuvo CBD Cream. I have used this cream for several years on different parts of my body/ First, for years I have been prone to headaches. Found if I put some across my forehead and some behind the back of my ears the cream absorbs quickly and within minutes I start to feel relief. Next my 12 years of skating has caught up on my knees and back of my legs. I use this cream every night, without it I would not sleep. I have tried everything on the market, and this cream is the one that saves me. The smell is very soothing and works within minutes. I have recommended this to family and friends. I feel comfortable using it every day. This is a 5-star cream. 

Before COVID, my friend turned me onto your NuvoCBD lotion. It has really helped my muscles and joints, but I gave my bottle to my mom after she broke her shoulder to help her get through the PT – she loves it too and I doubt I’ll get my bottle back!

Vet And Pet Review

I have worked in the horse industry for over 20 years managing barns, working as a vet technician and running an equine practice. I have used the NuvoCool Therapeutic Veterinary Liniment Gel on a horse that had tissue damage on the coronet band due to unbalanced shoes. I also used it on a horse with a hip injury.

What I found most amazing was the way the “heat” came down off the injured site. I applied 2 to 3 times a day and swelling was down 40% in 24 hrs. For the horses it’s great that there are no effects to the skin—many products create a secondary skin issue but not with this all natural product. Great for sensitive skin horses. Very pleased with the product and look forward to more.

I have used NuvoCool both for myself and for my horses. I work full time on a horse farm and between chores, making hay, daily riding/training, and always being on my feet I have my fair share of minor injuries. NuvoCool is my go to relief anytime I have a little soreness, whether it’s muscle, joint, or a bruise. It provides instant and long lasting relief. I’ve used a number of different pain gels/ointments over the years, but NuvoCool is hands down my favorite. The relief is wonderful, but it’s not too overpowering either. It’s all natural ingredients are appealing to me as well. I have sensitive skin and I have never had a reaction to the product. In addition to myself, I have used NuvoCool on my horses for minor injuries or just as a rub down after a long work out. It appears to give them good relief as well and they always enjoy the treatment. I strongly recommend this product for both use on humans and horses.

As a practicing equine veterinarian for over thirty years with a special interest in lameness, working with sport and race horses and an avid equine competitor for 20 years prior to becoming a DVM, I have encountered and treated countless horses suffering from aches and pains with mild to severe areas of heat, pain and swelling, the hallmarks of inflammation. Through the years I have recommended and my clients have medicated their horses with a multitude of liniments, braces, lotions and self-made recipes with various results.

About a year ago a client, Dr. George Hoag, introduced me to NuvoCool Equine Liniment, a product he developed. He explained it was a combination of essential oils with a unique mode of action. NuvoCool Equine Liniment blocked pain sensing receptors, stimulated pain relieving receptors and was an effective anti-inflammatory which was topically applied.

The first question I had for George was, “What are the side effects?” He said no significant side effects had been seen. Shortly after George gave me NuvoCool Equine Liniment products to try, I was working on some racehorses and the trainer asked what did I recommend to use on everyday minor leg swellings and soreness. She had a cupboard full of “remedies.” I gave her some NuvoCool Equine Liniment and asked her to let me know what she thought.

Two days later, I arrived at her barn and she immediately said that “stuff” you gave me really worked. A week later she was rubbing it on anything that was warm, swollen or painful on her horses in training. The following week she wanted more and had her fellow trainers asking for it.

Because of her enthusiasm for the product, I recommend NuvoCool Equine Liniments to clients to aid in the reduction of any topical inflammation and soreness. I have recommended it to trainers, riders and owners of racehorses, equitation horses, hunters and jumpers, dressage horses, competitive trail horses, quarter horses, Morgans, Arabs, Saddlebreds, Warmbloods and horses owned for pleasure.

I recommend NuvoCool Equine Liniments for tendon and ligament swelling and pain, skin swellings and joint swelling and pain. My clients’ response has been universally positive. I have noticed no adverse reactions. I am pleased to have a topical product I can recommend to aide in the treatment of acute and chronic swelling and pain.

When my Arab mare came in from pasture with a saucer sized welt on her shoulder, possibly from running into the gate, I tried rubbing NuvoCool cream on it. To my amazement, the next day the swelling had gone down tremendously, and the mare was no longer tender to the touch. By the third day I could not even see any swelling. I have found that this natural pain reliever works for people as well as animals. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Dr. Hoag for creating such a safe, effective treatment for pain and inflammation!

NuvoCBD Canine Comfort Gel/ I have a 12-year old lab, her joints are filled with arthritis. She has trouble just walking and sitting down. The vet has given her pain medication, shots, even swimming. I tried NuvoCool Canine Comfort Gel about two years ago, just to ease the pain. I now use it 2 to 3 times a day. I find she is still slow but can move without panting constantly. Also, at night helps her sleep right through the night. If you have an animal in this condition or getting to this point. I would definitely start using this product. I have researched many avenues for canines and find this works the best.
