34yr old male. I suffered an ACL sprain a year ago. It never quite healed the way I expected. Still had random inflammation where my knee would swell. Had trouble walking down stairs. That caused my other knee to over compensate so now I had two bad knee's. Tried glucosamine supplements, ibuprofen etc. Problem lingered for months. Couldn't jog or play basketball. Gained some weight which made things worse. Then one day my coworker told me about this miracle plant called the Comfrey root and how it could treat 'bone' ailments. Sounded too good to be true but I didn't have the time to plant and grow it etc. Found this ointment on Amazon. Saw the reviews and figured why not. All I can say is thank you! I literally saw improvement the first week of use and after a month my knees literally stopped swelling. Truly amazing. It also treats runners knees in case your knees make popping noises. Recommendation for those with serious knees injuries: After use don't walk on knees for 1 hr. Keep knees elevated. After 1st month of use perform squats and light walking for rehab. Then immediately afterwards apply ointment and again don't walk for at least 30mins. I then take a shower then apply more. Definitely apply at night while sleeping and also in the morning. Since some reviews mentioned a strange odor it appears the manufacture listened and it's safe to use in the day now. If you still don’t approve of the smell there is a liquid version by Dr Christopher that will work just as good. I find myself buying more even when I have plenty on hand. Never want to run out of this miracle ointment. Also remember to store in the refrigerator. Update: 3 years later everywhere I go I tell everyone about this miracle ointment. My knees are 100% healed. I can now squat with weights and run faster again. I have switched from this balm version of Dr Christopher’s Bone and Ointment and now use the liquid version more. But both products work just as good. Even though my knees are 100% healed I find myself still using this as a recovery/maintenance solution to keep my knees lubricated. I also put this on the bottom of my feet before I go on long jogs. It makes my feet feel like I’m walking on clouds. Don’t use these words often but this is a Game Changer!!!! Year 4: I literally use it before all my long distance runs. Apply it to hip areas, bottom of my feet and knees. I literally feel no pain during extraneous runs. People ask me about compression knees socks and knees products. Well this is my all natural version and it’s more cost effective. One day if I ever get to meet Dr Christopher drinks are clearly on me!! This man and team deserve an award or something for this product. Read more

The first time I got this, my tablet had fallen and landed corner down on my big toe and broke it. I was starting a new job within a week and it would require being on my feet constantly. So, I looked up comfrey ointments and decided on this one. The first few days of work were uncomfortable, but so long as I didn’t flex my foot, the pain was tolerable. Within a week of starting the ointment, I could move any way I needed to without pain. After that, it became my favorite ointment for all bumps, bruises and scratches, muscle and bone pains. It makes everything heal so much faster and cleaner. I still prefer vitamin E for burns, but when I’m out of that, I will apply this. I loaned that first jar to my father-in-law for bone spurs in his heels and he said it brought him relief. I actually never got the jar back because he liked it so much, so I bought another. I ended up giving away more jars over the years and buying myself another every time. I’ve had this fifth one for a couple years now. I did use some on my cousin’s hand and wrist. He has carpal tunnel, I think. He told me weeks later that it was the only thing that ever helped and took all the pain away. Had he said that at the time, I would have left the jar with him and gotten yet another. Haha Last year, my husband hurt himself at work. Painkillers did absolutely nothing for him, but the ointment did. It’s also fantastic on sore muscles, and even on some skin issues. All in all, it’s probably the most effective and useful product I have in my medicine cabinet. Read more

Buying our 2nd tub. I’ve recommended this to countless friends and baseball families that tell me they’re referring others as well. We have used Dr. Christopher’s on fractured elbows and knees. This is my go to for any joint pain. I prefer to start w/ DC before taking any OTC meds. My dad has had two knee and a shoulder replacements. He says it always takes the edge off! The salve has a mild smell. Not repulsive but a mild earthy smell. The ointment doesn’t have a cooling or heating effect. It is meant to stay refrigerated! The texture is solid at first. Almost like honeycomb. Once you scrape it up it will melt on contact with the skin and feels soothing and easy to massage. My only complaint would be that it stays tacky on the skin. If you’re doing yard work or anything around dirt/dust, it’s going to stick. Keep that in mind if you have exposed areas…you may want to keep it covered. I believe this ointment has sped up the healing of many sports related injuries and gives great peace of mind knowing we have it on hand. When I’m with my baseball family and someone is injured the moms always say, “well go home and rub Dr. Christopher’s on it!” 😃 Read more

I’ve been using Christopher's Original Formulas Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. This herbal topical offers great support for muscle and joint discomfort. The ointment has a soothing, natural scent that isn’t overpowering, and it absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. What I appreciate most is the blend of herbal ingredients that feel genuinely effective—my sore muscles and stiff joints seem to loosen up after applying it. It’s perfect for post-workout recovery or for days when my knees feel achy. Plus, a little goes a long way, so the 4 fl oz container lasts quite a while. Overall, I would recommend this ointment to anyone looking for a natural alternative to conventional pain relief creams. It’s a solid, reliable product that truly supports muscle and joint health.
