Total Body Comfort System

Three Formulas. Different Levels of Care. Find What Works for You.

Because the same formula doesn’t make sense for every ache, every situation, or every body.

The Total Body Comfort System brings together three of Ætherbal’s most comprehensive botanical comfort formulas—Arnica Plus Herbal, Lighten the Load, and Silica Dit Da Jow—in one collection.

We created the system for two reasons.

First, it gives you the opportunity to experience all three formulas and discover which one best matches the way your body experiences discomfort. Some people respond best to a straightforward Arnica-centered formula. Others need the broader botanical approach of Lighten the Load. And some want a more complex formula available for the times their body has taken a significant physical hit.

Second, your needs can change. The formula you reach for after an ordinary bump or an overworked afternoon may not be the one you want after a hard fall, strenuous activity, or when discomfort becomes widespread, persistent, or difficult to describe.

That is why the Total Body Comfort System gives you three different levels of botanical care rather than three versions of the same thing.

Try all three. Find your match. Then keep the right level of care within reach.

🌿 Meet the System 🌿 

Arnica Plus Herbal

Your everyday first reach.

Arnica Plus Herbal takes familiar Arnica and builds a more sophisticated botanical formula around it with St. John’s Wort, Black Seed, Plantain, Ginger, Rosemary, Marjoram, Turmeric and Roman Chamomile.

Reach for it when life happens—a bump, a particularly sore area, an overworked muscle, or somewhere that suddenly feels tender, sharp, sensitive or uncomfortable.

Best for:

Everyday bumps • Bruised-feeling areas • Soreness • Tenderness • Sharp or stabbing sensations • Sensitive areas • Stiffness • Overworked muscles

Lighten the Load

When discomfort becomes more complicated.

Lighten the Load is Ætherbal’s broad-spectrum comfort formula for the times when it is difficult to point to one sensation—or even one place.

Reach for it when discomfort feels widespread or shifting, when several areas are bothering you at once, or when you are experiencing a combination of deep, persistent, achy, stiff, sharp, sensitive, tight or cramping sensations.

Best for:

Widespread discomfort • Shifting discomfort • Deep or persistent sensations • Stiffness • Achiness • Sharp or nerve-like sensations • Tenderness • Tightness • Cramping • Multiple sensations at once

Silica Dit Da Jow

When your body has taken a significant hit.

Inspired by the traditional Chinese and martial arts practice of Dit Da Jow formulation, Silica Dit Da Jow is Ætherbal’s most botanically complex formula and occupies a very different place in the collection.

Reach for it following significant physical impact—a hard fall, demanding athletic activity, a serious bump or collision, or those occasions when your body feels deeply bruised, sore, stiff and thoroughly banged up after a physical event.

Best for:

Significant impact • Hard falls • Sports-related impact • Deeply bruised-feeling areas • Post-impact soreness • Physically demanding activity • When your body has really taken a hit

Significant injuries, suspected fractures, severe swelling, loss of function or pain following major trauma require appropriate medical evaluation.

Why Three Formulas?

There are two ways to use the Total Body Comfort System.

Find Your Match

Not everyone experiences discomfort in the same way, and botanical formulas are not interchangeable. Having all three allows you to experience their differences firsthand and discover which formula becomes your personal favorite.

You may find yourself reaching for Arnica Plus Herbal again and again. Lighten the Load may be the formula that best fits the way your body feels. Or Silica Dit Da Jow may become the one you never want to be without.

Match the Formula to the Moment

Sometimes the question isn't which formula is “yours.” It's what happened today.

Everyday bump, soreness or one particular area? Reach for Arnica Plus Herbal.

Widespread, shifting or several kinds of discomfort at once? Reach for Lighten the Load.

Significant impact or a body that feels seriously banged up? Reach for Silica Dit Da Jow.

One system gives you the freedom to find your favorite—and the flexibility to choose differently when the situation calls for it.

How to Use Your System

Choose the formula that most closely matches what your body is experiencing.

Arnica Plus Herbal — Start here for everyday bumps, bruised-feeling areas, soreness, tenderness, overworked muscles and targeted areas that suddenly need attention.

Lighten the Load — Move here when discomfort is broader, more persistent, shifting between areas, or involves several different sensations at once.

Silica Dit Da Jow — Reach for this more specialized formula when there has been significant physical impact or your body feels deeply banged up after a demanding physical event.

Apply the selected formula to the desired external area according to its individual product directions.

For external use only. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Do not ingest. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

New, severe, unexplained, persistent or worsening pain should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. Significant trauma, suspected fractures, severe swelling or loss of function should receive appropriate medical evaluation.

Find Your Match

Still not sure which one belongs in your cabinet most often? That is part of the reason we created the Total Body Comfort System.

Pay attention to which formula you instinctively reach for and how you prefer each formula for different situations.

Over time, you may discover that you have a clear favorite—or that the real advantage is having all three.

Arnica Plus Herbal — “Life happened.”

Lighten the Load — “Everything seems to hurt differently today.”

Silica Dit Da Jow — “My body really took a hit.”

Three very different reasons to reach for botanical comfort. Three formulas designed accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these simply three strengths of the same product?

No.

The idea of “levels of care” describes when you might reach for each formula, not three increasing concentrations of the same formula.

Each is independently formulated with a different botanical profile and intended use. Arnica Plus Herbal centers everyday, targeted body care. Lighten the Load provides a broader approach for complex or widespread discomfort. Silica Dit Da Jow draws from traditional trauma-oriented herbal formulation for more significant physical impact.

Which formula should I start with?

For ordinary bumps, soreness, tenderness or one overworked area, Arnica Plus Herbal is the natural starting point.

When the experience becomes widespread, persistent, shifting or involves several different sensations, consider Lighten the Load.

When there has been significant physical impact and your body feels seriously banged up, Silica Dit Da Jow occupies that more specialized role.

What if I find that one formula works best for me?

That is one of the reasons the system exists.

The Trio allows you to experience the formulas yourself rather than trying to determine your match entirely from a product description. Once you know which formula you prefer, you can purchase that product individually.

Do I have to use them in order?

No.

This isn't a three-step regimen, and you do not need to use one formula before another. Think of them as three different tools in the same botanical toolkit.

Choose according to what you are experiencing and the level and type of care you want at that moment.

Can I keep all three on hand even after I find my favorite?

Absolutely. Your favorite formula may handle most days, while another becomes the one you reach for in a particular situation.

That versatility is the second purpose of the system: your body doesn't always ask for the same kind of care.

The Science Behind Our Patent-Pending Delivery System

Skin is designed to be a barrier, which makes topical delivery a formulation challenge. Ætherbal’s patent-pending delivery system was developed around two important considerations: molecular size and the need to work with both water- and oil-compatible botanical compounds.

Research has demonstrated that molecules below 500 Daltons are more likely to pass through the skin barrier. At the foundation of our system is Orthosilicic Acid, with a molecular mass of approximately 96 Daltons, well below the approximately 500-Dalton molecular-size guideline commonly discussed in skin-permeation science.

Across the Total Body Comfort System, complex botanical ingredients bring together constituents with very different chemical characteristics. Ætherbal’s amphiphilic system was designed to work with both water- and oil-compatible constituents rather than requiring that botanical complexity to fit predominantly into one environment or the other.

The botanicals provide the traditional intelligence. Our delivery system is the formulation technology.

Botanical Medicine, Delivered Differently.

Everyday. Complex. Significant impact.

Sometimes you need something for the ordinary bumps and sore spots of everyday life. Sometimes your discomfort is harder to define. And sometimes your body has simply taken a hit.

The Total Body Comfort System gives you three different botanical approaches so you can discover what works for you—and have options when what your body needs changes.

Find your match. Match the moment. Keep all three within reach.
