Sore, stiff joints that make ordinary jobs harder than they should be. Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is registered with the ARTG as a listed medicine to relieve the symptoms of mild arthritis and mild joint pain, naturally, right where you need it, with no burning heat.
Arthritis, in plain language
Arthritis is not one condition. It is an umbrella term for more than a hundred conditions that cause pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common, and it is the one most people mean when they say arthritis. Whatever the type, the day-to-day experience tends to rhyme: joints that are stiff first thing, ache after you use them, and quietly make ordinary jobs harder. It affects around one in seven Australians, it becomes more common with age, and it is more common in women.
Arthritis should be diagnosed and managed with your doctor. For condition information, visit Healthdirect Australia.
Sound familiar?
Hands and fingers are the single most mentioned area in our arthritis reviews, ahead of knees. You can rest a knee. You cannot really rest a hand.
Stiff before the day has asked anything of you. The morning application is the one customers say they never skip.
Hands and shoulders. Knees and feet. Plenty of people are not managing one sore spot, they are managing four.
Taking something every day, for years, for a long-term condition is a different proposition to taking it for a sprain. Many would rather not.
The traditional answer smells medicinal and stings. On hands you are about to make lunch with, that is a real problem.
A parent, a partner, a friend. A good share of our arthritis reviews are written by the person doing the buying, not the person in pain.
We will not tell you a cream changes the joint, because it does not. But 532 of our customers have written to us about using it with arthritis, and they rated it 4.9 out of 5.
Why Zea Relief is different
It comes down to three S's: science, safety and scent.
Tasmanian Kunzea Oil is naturally rich in studied constituents, including Alpha-Pinene, Viridiflorol and 1,8-Cineole, with documented anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Relieving the symptoms of mild arthritis and mild joint pain are named indications on our ARTG listing, AUST L 360 331.
Topical, targeted and with no known contraindications, which matters when you are managing something for years rather than weeks. It goes only where you put it, so most people use it comfortably alongside whatever their doctor has them on.
A mild, fresh botanical aroma instead of the usual liniment smell. It matters more than you would think when it is on your hands and you are about to make lunch.
Listed indications include: relieve symptoms of mild arthritis · relieve symptoms of mild osteoarthritis · relieve mild joint pain and soreness · relieve mild rheumatic aches and pains · anti-inflammatory · analgesic · relieve muscle aches, pains and soreness. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.

Built around the day, not the flare
This is a long-term condition, so the people who get the most out of it treat the cream as a daily habit rather than something they reach for when it gets bad. Keep moving, and keep doing whatever your physio gave you: that is still the part with the best evidence behind it.

Hands, knees, wherever the stiffness sits, before the day asks anything of the joint. This is the application customers tell us they notice missing.

Mess free and one handed, which matters when it is your fingers and thumbs that hurt. Keep one in a handbag and one by the kettle.

Knees, hips, shoulders, and the muscles working around them. Sore joints change how you move, and what is compensating deserves attention too.

Warmth helps stiffness for a lot of people. Kunzea Bath Salts make it a wind-down rather than a treatment.
Be persistent, and be realistic. Nothing you rub on changes the joint underneath. What our customers describe is getting through the day more comfortably, and with something you live with for years, that is worth a great deal.

Real Australians, real words
"I have mild arthritis in my ankle and it had been playing up for a couple of weeks, so I ordered the oil and the cream (which arrived very quickly) I started using as recommended and after 2 days I noticed the difference and after 1 week I was back to walking without pain."
"I am so happy with this cream for my arthritis in my hands. I started using this cream a few months ago & it really loosens up my arthritic joints & relieves the pain!"
"Kunzea Roll On is really helping with arthritis inflammation and pain in my thumbs and wrists. The roll on is a great, no mess way to apply the liniment."
"This cream has really helped me from day one with arthritis in my hands, I also bought some for my 83-year-old father who told me it's helped his thumb from injuries being a mechanic his whole life"
"We both have arthritis, and the usual aches and pains from a very active life. Having tried lots of well marketed creams, potions and lotions we have found the Zea cream and roll on to be the most effective, and quickest, for pain relief."
"I have arthritis in many joints and this seems to alleviate the pain for hours."

Australia's natural Kunzea pain relief experts


Your questions, answered
Yes. Relieving the symptoms of mild arthritis is a named indication on our ARTG listing for Kunzea Pain Relief Cream, AUST L 360 331, alongside mild osteoarthritis, mild joint pain and soreness, mild rheumatic aches, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. That is unusual for a natural cream and it is why we can talk about arthritis directly.
Our listing covers the symptoms of mild arthritis and mild osteoarthritis, and osteoarthritis is the most common type by a long way. Arthritis is an umbrella term covering more than a hundred conditions that are managed very differently, so the diagnosis genuinely matters. Talk to your doctor about which type you have and what belongs in your management plan.
Hands and fingers come first in our arthritis reviews, then knees, then the back and neck, then feet and ankles, then hips and shoulders. Hands lead partly because they are impossible to rest and partly because a mess free roll on is easy to use when your fingers are the problem.
It is topical, has no known contraindications and goes only where you put it, so most people use it daily alongside whatever else they are doing. That matters with arthritis, because this is a condition you manage for years rather than weeks. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Staying active, and keeping weight off the joint where that is relevant, because both reduce the load going through it. That is the part with the strongest evidence and no cream replaces it. Your GP is the right starting point, and a physio can give you the movement that suits your joints.
You are in good company, a good share of our arthritis reviews are written by someone buying for a parent or partner. The 30-Day Supply is the sensible way to find out whether it suits them, since it has the cream, the roll on, the massage oil and the balm and they can see which they reach for. The roll on tends to be the winner for hands.
