Weleda Copper Ointment 25g

The formulation contains cuprum metallicum praeparatum 0.4g per 100g of ointment, prepared in a base of yellow soft paraffin and liquid paraffin. This combination provides a smooth, spreadable texture that allows for easy application and gentle massage, helping to deliver the active ingredient directly to the affected area while also soothing the skin. The paraffin base offers emollient properties, keeping the skin moisturised as it works to alleviate muscular discomfort. For best results, the ointment should be applied thinly and massaged well into the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed, with particular attention to massaging in an upward direction when applied to the feet and legs at bedtime.

The ointment is especially valued for its ability to address cramp resulting from everyday postural habits—sitting for long periods at a desk, standing throughout a shift, or waking from sleep in an awkward position. It is also a helpful companion for those who experience post-exercise cramping, as well as for expectant mothers who may suffer from leg cramps during pregnancy. The warming sensation upon application provides immediate comfort, while the massage action helps relax tense muscles and improve local circulation. If redness or itching occurs, or if symptoms persist, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.

Suitable for vegans and formulated without animal-derived ingredients, Weleda Copper Ointment is for external use only. It should be kept out of the sight and reach of children, stored below 25°C, and not used after the expiry date. The tube seal should be checked before first use and pierced with the point in the end of the cap. For those seeking a natural, anthroposophic remedy for muscular pain and cramps—whether from exercise, posture, or pregnancy—this ointment provides a trusted, warming treatment that has helped generations find relief from the acute discomfort of cramping muscles.
