BLS refers to its main ingredients, such as Bawang (garlic), Luya (ginger) and Sili (red pepper, preferably, “siling

Arthritis refers to inflammation of a joint or a state characterized by inflammation of the joints. Inflammation
is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign
substances such as bacteria and viruses. Its symptoms can be either one or a combination of the following:

· Redness

· Swollen joint that's tender and warm to the touch

· Joint pain

· Joint stiffness

· Loss of joint function

The cause of arthritis is not fully known, yet, can we still do something to prevent it. Maintaining proper
weight (obesity added strain to joints), regular joint exercises, proper diet (excess protein can increase your uric acid)
and strengthening immune system can help a lot. Prevention is better than cure. If symptoms persist, see your doctor!

You could also apply BLS oil to muscle aches and insect bites. It is not indicated if you have dermatitis,
allergies and open wounds.
