A hip that aches all night. A shoulder that will not let you reach the top shelf. If you live with bursitis, or you are buying for someone who does, Zea Relief's Kunzea range helps relieve mild joint pain and soreness and the muscle aches around it, gently, right where you need it, with no burning heat.
Bursitis, in plain language
A bursa is a small, fluid-filled cushion that sits where a tendon passes over a bone. Bursitis is what happens when one becomes inflamed or irritated, usually from repetitive movement, pressure or an injury. It most often turns up in the hip, shoulder, knee or elbow, and it brings pain, swelling, tenderness, warmth and a joint that will not move through its full range. It aches at night because the bursa is right where your body weight lands when you lie on that side.
Bursitis should be diagnosed and managed with your doctor. For condition information, visit Healthdirect Australia.
Sound familiar?
Of the customers who mention bursitis in their reviews, more talk about nights than anything else. Roll over, wake up, roll back. Repeat.
Bursitis is rarely a one-week problem. Plenty of the people who write to us have been managing the same hip or shoulder for two, five, even eleven years.
An injection buys relief, then the pain finds its way back and you are counting how many you are allowed to have.
Reaching a shelf, fastening a bra, hanging washing, sleeping on your good side. The list of things you have quietly stopped doing gets longer.
Some of our customers cannot take anti-inflammatories at all. Most of the rest would simply rather not take one every time a hip plays up.
Often it is a wife, a daughter or a husband who buys this. You cannot take the pain off them, but you can rub something in of an evening.
We will not promise to fix any of that, and nothing in a jar can. But thousands of Australians use our Kunzea range to take the edge off a sore hip or shoulder, gently. Most of them were told about it by a friend.
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. It is why this is registered with the ARTG as a listed medicine (AUST L 360 331), not just another "natural" cream.
Gentle, topical and targeted. No burning heat, so it will not add warmth to a joint that does not want it, and it goes only where you put it. No known contraindications, so most people use it comfortably alongside the plan their doctor has set.
A mild, calming botanical aroma, fresh and quietly invigorating, never overpowering. No menthol sting and none of that hospital-corridor smell. Customers tell us it is the first pain cream they actually enjoy putting on before bed.
Listed indications include: relieve mild joint pain and soreness · relieve muscle aches, pains and soreness · anti-inflammatory · relieve mild rheumatic aches and pains · relieve symptoms of muscle injury. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.

A routine that fits around a sore joint
Follow your doctor's advice on the bursa itself: rest it from whatever set it off, protect it, and use ice rather than heat while it is angry. This is the everyday routine our customers describe around that.
Twice a day is the rhythm most people settle into, and the evening one matters most. Smooth it over the hip or shoulder rather than pressing hard into the sore spot.
A sore hip changes how you walk and a sore shoulder changes how you carry things. The Concentrated Massage Oil is made for the glutes, the neck and the upper back that end up doing the extra work.
The single most common thing our bursitis customers say is that the Roll On lives in a handbag, a work bag or a desk drawer. No mess, no hands to wash, ten seconds.
Once the joint has settled out of its angry phase, a warm bath with Kunzea Bath Salts is a kind way to finish a day spent on your feet.
Be persistent. Most people who get on well with Kunzea use it daily for a couple of weeks before they judge it, not once on a bad day.

Australia's natural Kunzea pain relief experts
Your questions, answered
Not with the inflamed bursa itself, which is something to manage with your doctor. What Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is listed for (AUST L 360 331) is relieving mild joint pain and soreness, muscle aches and pains, and acting as an anti-inflammatory. That is the everyday ache many people with bursitis are left carrying, and it is what our customers use it for.
Hips and shoulders, mostly, then knees. In our reviews the hip and the shoulder come up almost equally often. People tend to smooth it over the whole area rather than pressing into the tender spot, and to treat the muscles around it as well, since a sore hip or shoulder makes everything nearby work harder.
No. There is no menthol or capsaicin in it, so there is no heat and no sting. That matters with bursitis, because heat is the last thing an inflamed bursa wants. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a strong medicinal smell on the sheets.
Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is applied topically and has no known contraindications, so it acts where you put it and most people use it alongside their existing treatment. If you have had a corticosteroid injection or you take regular medication, have a quick word with your GP or pharmacist before adding anything new.
Some people feel something on the first application and plenty do not. The customers who get the most out of it use it consistently for two to three weeks rather than judging it on one bad day. You have 30 days to decide.
You are in good company, a good share of our bursitis customers are buying for someone else. 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. If they already know Kunzea works, the 60 or 90-day sets save more and mean they will not run out.
