A Warming Herbal Massage Oil of St John's Wort, Cayenne & Wintergreen
Nerve Oil is a warming herbal massage oil for the lower back, hips and legs, applied two to three times a day. St John's wort, cayenne and comfrey oils are blended with wintergreen, frankincense, sandalwood, lavender and calendula in a base of sweet almond and extra virgin olive oils.
The Herbs
Nerve Oil brings together three groups of herbs and oils traditionally used for nerve and muscle comfort. Warming oils encourage healthy circulation. Restorative oils support the body's natural tissue recovery. Calming essential oils ease muscular tension. Together they make an oil for the lower back, hips and legs, massaged in every day.
To Warm and Circulate
Cayenne Oil (Capsicum annuum): A warming oil traditionally used to stimulate circulation and as a topical counter-irritant, helping to ease localised nerve irritation.
Wintergreen Essential Oil (Gaultheria procumbens): Traditionally applied for a comforting warmth that eases localised stiffness and comforts sensitive nerve pathways.
Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia carterii): Traditionally used to support healthy local circulation and comfort areas of muscular tension.
To Restore
St John's Wort Oil (Hypericum perforatum): Traditionally relied upon to comfort localised tissue inflammation, ease radiating nerve sensitivity and soothe deep physical discomfort.
Comfrey Oil (Symphytum officinale): Long valued by herbalists to support the natural repair of overworked muscles, joints and connective tissues.
Calendula Oil (Calendula officinalis): Traditionally applied to soothe the skin and support its natural repair.
To Relax
Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia): Traditionally used to ease localised muscular tension and encourage relaxation.
Sandalwood Essential Oil (Santalum album): Traditionally used to encourage muscular relaxation and ease physical tension, with a warm, grounding aroma.
Why a Massage Oil?
Unlike many topical gels, a herbal massage oil combines the benefits of massage with whole-plant herbs that stay in contact with the skin. Blended into sweet almond and extra virgin olive oils, it can be massaged comfortably into the areas that need it most.
Specifications
Size: 100ml amber glass bottle with glass pipette
Base: Sweet almond and extra virgin olive oils
Suitable for: Adults and young people aged 16 and over. 100% plant-based
How to Use: About one full pipette on the area two to three times a day, adjusted to the size of the area.
To Apply: Warm the oil between the palms and massage gently into the skin for around one minute.
For Sensitive Areas: Where an area is too tender to massage, smooth the oil gently over the skin without pressure.
Overnight: For longer contact, apply a generous layer before bed and leave it on overnight.
Safety & Cautions
External Use Only: Nerve Oil is formulated exclusively for topical application. Do not ingest or apply to the eyes, mucous membranes, broken skin or highly sensitive areas.
Wash Hands After Use: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water immediately after application to avoid accidentally transferring the warming Cayenne extract to the eyes or other sensitive areas.
Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure of the treated area to intense sunlight or UV lamps immediately after application, as some botanical oils may temporarily increase skin photosensitivity.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Not suitable for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Blood-Thinning Medication: If you are taking prescription blood-thinning medication, please consult your GP or one of our Medical Herbalists before use.
Medical Conditions & Medication: If you have a chronic medical condition or are taking prescription medication, please consult your GP, another qualified healthcare professional or contact our Medical Herbalists at info@zenmaitri.com before use.
Allergens: Contains Sweet Almond Oil and may contain traces of peanuts and other tree nuts.
Age Recommendation: Suitable for adults and young people aged 16 years and over.
Storage: Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
A Daily Movement Ritual
Stretch Gently: Five to ten minutes a day of gentle stretches, such as child's pose or drawing the knees towards the chest.
Move Every Hour: Stand, stretch or walk for a few minutes each hour on long sitting days.
Warm First: A warm bath or compress before applying the oil.
Rest in Good Alignment: A pillow under the knees when lying on the back, or between them when lying on the side.
Warm a little between your palms and massage it in slowly, ideally after a bath or shower when the skin is warm. It is a rich oil and a small amount covers a large area.
The colour comes from St John’s Wort. The flowers release a deep red pigment slowly into oil over several weeks of infusion, and it is the traditional sign of a properly made St John’s Wort oil.
No. St John’s Wort can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so apply it in the evening and keep treated skin covered or out of direct sun.
Cayenne and wintergreen are both counter-irritants, which is where the warmth comes from. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards and keep the oil away from your eyes, nose and mouth — capsaicin transfers easily from the fingers and stings badly. Do not cover the area with a hot compress or a tight dressing, and keep it off broken or cracked skin
At three to four drops twice daily, around three months. Once opened, use within twelve months — unrefined oils turn faster than refined ones, which is what the vitamin E is slowing down.
Our Nerve Oil has been expertly formulated by our Medical Herbalists to provide comforting botanical support for sensitive nerve pathways, muscular tension and healthy peripheral circulation. It is commonly applied to areas experiencing radiating lower back and leg discomfort, localized nerve sensitivity, tingling, stiffness and physical tension as part of a daily self-care routine.
Apply approximately one pipette of oil to the affected area—such as the lower back, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves or feet—two to three times daily. Warm the oil between your palms before gently massaging it into the skin. For more intensive support, apply in the morning, late afternoon and again before bedtime. Always wash your hands thoroughly after application.
Many customers choose Nerve Oil as part of their self-care routine during episodes of sciatica because it is formulated to support areas commonly affected, including the lower back, buttocks, legs and feet. Sciatica can have a variety of underlying causes, so if your symptoms are severe, persistent or worsening, we recommend seeking advice from your GP or booking a consultation with one of our Medical Herbalists so we can advise on the most appropriate herbal support for your individual circumstances.
Many people notice a comforting warming sensation shortly after application due to the presence of Cayenne and Wintergreen, botanicals traditionally used as topical counter-irritants. As with many traditional herbal preparations, consistent application over two to three weeks allows the botanicals to provide the greatest level of support as part of your daily recovery routine.
Nerve Oil has been specifically formulated to support sensitive nerve pathways, radiating lower back and leg discomfort, localized tingling and muscular tension. Mahanarayan Oil is based on traditional Ayurvedic principles and is designed to support joint mobility and overall musculoskeletal comfort, while our Joint & Muscle Balm has been formulated for everyday muscular recovery and localized stiffness.
No. Due to the carefully selected essential oils and warming botanicals included in the formulation, Nerve Oil is not suitable for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

I have complete nerve damage in my back, I'm in pain all day every day, when I come home from work the pain is unbearable, so my partner puts the oil on my back very gently and it does take some of the pain away, I am on my 3rd bottle since finding it and I won't stop using it now,
I play a lot of golf but persistent sciatic pain was spoiling my enjoyment of the game and making it more difficult to play. Since using the Nerve Oil for sciatica relief the discomfort has eased considerably and I am enjoying my game again. Ron Jones.
Bought this for my mum who has been suffering with sciatica pain. This stuff is amazing, it really worked! She had sharp pain and was in bed most of the day, as pain was so bad she couldn’t walk. She was able to move around more and felt the pain eased soon after massage.And she was even able to stop her pain medication! Would highly recommend for sciatica pain.
My wife is housebhound and has great difficulty walking even a few paces and having had several operations that did not improve her condition she is in constant pain and is uncomfortable even when just sitting down.
I looked everywhere for something that might help and came across nerve oil and decided to give it a try.
I rub it into her lower back evfery night at bedtime and she assures me that is does give her some relief and helps her to sleep. She would not now be without it.
Well this nerve oil is the best thing I have found! It helps with my sciatica, neuropathy & neuralgia in neck.
I can’t live without now after discovering it about 18 months ago. I’m a regular customer now . Thank you.
This is absolutely amazing, i struggle with pain in our neck, base of skull, shoulders due to trappped nerves and mild arthritis (Disc buldging), along with small cyst and lesions at the base of spine S3 due to epidural causing damage due to not being done right amongst other joints and muscular aches and pains and our body gets excited when i am going to apply this miracle nowadays, after using this for a day the excitement started, where our body would jump up (or at least try to sometimes) and we would smile so much.. Thank you so much for this amazing product
I love this nerve oil it suits me well. I have spinal stenosis,peripheral neuropathy & sciatica.
I use the oil on a daily basis after showering.
Have recommended to several friends who are all delighted with it.
Complete convert thank you.
I have been using this oil for my sciatica for the past few years and it give me more relief than using medication. I try and rub it on the affected area three times a day and it helps relief the pain. And the smell of the oil is very pleasant
I’m sure you must be fed up with me by now but I’m still using this oil after about 18 months for spinal stenosis,sciatica & peripheral neuropathy. It seems I can’t live without it. Such a great relief. Wonderful. Thanks.
I bought this after having surgery and had severe nerve pain in my abdomen due to a shunt. I don’t like medication for these things. This oils saves me throughout the day and night sometimes! I am shocked by it. I pair it with the mahanarayan oil as well and completely goes for a few hours. You have to reapply throughout the day which is why I am buying more! It’s a game changer!
Well I have been using this nerve oil for a long time now( at least 18 months) & I still love it.
I use on my legs & feet for neuropathy & on my back for sciatica.
Can’t live without it now.
Thank you Zen Maitri. Always better to use natural products.
I have been using the nerve oil for 2 years now and can’t live without it! It helps with my sciatica, neuropathy general neck & back pain. It’s easy to apply and gives results fairly quickly for me. I have recommended to several friends who like it also so here’s a big 👍.
What can I say I can’t praise the nerve oil highly enough. It works for me for my sciatica & neuropathy, I’ve been using this product for about 18 months now & can’t live without it. I have recommended to many of my friends. I am a great believer in natural products & the Nerve Oil certainly fits the bill.
Thank you Zen Maitri .
Regards to all staff as always so helpful.
I had a bad fall and hurt my knee and bruised my leg. I used the nerve oil and I am almost back to normal. It took 8 weeks for all the brushes to heal. So I recommend this oil to ease pain and heal discomfort.
I’ve been using Nerve oil now for about 20months following a trapped nerve causing paralysis.
I find it so helpful with sciatica & neuropathy pain.
Can’t live without it now so have one bottle in downstairs cloakroom as well as one in upstairs bathroom.
Much prefer natural remedies !
Thank you.
I bought this for my parents for their leg pains etc & it’s been very useful alhumdullilah. I have bought a few already & one for my mother in law to help with her sciatica
I have been using the nerve oil for about 18 months now & think it’s wonderful.
Initially it helped with trapped nerve & sciatica & am now using it for neuropathy in my legs & feet. I apply several times daily & wouldn’t be without it.
Thank you Zen Maitri
I have been using Nerve oil for quite sometime now. Not only is it good for my sciatica but also my Peripheral Neuropathy!
As far as joint & muscle balm is concerned the jury is still out on that one. As I’m focussing on the two aforementioned ailments & the weather is better my joints are not so bad. Is it the balm ? I think I may have to wait till winter to decide on that one.
However Zen Maitri is an ethical company in whom I have faith & I shall continue to support them.
I am using the Oil ZEN MAITRI to massage the lower back, the joints and the legs from knees to the hips.
The results are excellent. The ZEN MAITRI oil is very good for sciatica pain, nerve pain, joint pain and lower back pain.
I am feeling better and better, day after day.
Hi l am Anthony Bolton l use nerve oil for my sciatica and nerve pain in my leg and hip and back l have ordered my nerve oil for some time and it works well for me when I am in pain l use it at night time.thank you to all the team.
Have been experiencing severe pain down my leg since hurting my back, I have a spinal impingement causing the nerves to my legs to be effected, I’ve tried all sorts of pain relief but this nerve oil is brilliant, it doesn’t take the pain away but has helped take that edge off where painkillers haven’t been able to, well worth a try and will be buying more!
I’ve been using this since January this year (24) & have found it so helpful.
I’m a total convert.
Initially I had trapped nerve but my sciatica returns quite frequently & I wouldn’t be without the nerve oil.
I never run out. I place my order so that I have always got some.
I even keep a small amount in separate bottle in overnight bag. Brilliant.
I love this nerve oil it works great for me I have nerve damage in my leg and have used this product and it works well for me thank you to the team from Mr Anthony Bolton.
I purchased this oil for my 79-year-old mother, who is disabled, frail, and has had two hip replacements. She's always in pain and discomfort, so after extensive research, I came across Zain Matri and was drawn to the reviews. Although the oil is primarily meant for sciatic pain, it has made a noticeable difference in her overall pain relief. While I know it’s not a cure, the fact that it helps manage her pain and symptoms is enough for me. It’s been just over two weeks, and we’ve already seen a slight improvement in her condition. I’ve already placed another order for the nerve oil.
So iv had sciatica for 3 months and tried several different things and nothing has helped since until I got ZEN MAITRI.
After 2 days of putting it on my leg it completely gave me the relief I needed it doesn’t cure it but it definitely makes Any pain that you have feel 100 times better and at times iv not felt any pain whatsoever I would definitely recommend to give this a try
ITS BRILLIANT
This nerve oil has helped me massively as someone who is experiencing nerve issues due to a hair transplant. It has really helped with the tingling/sensations on my body and scalp. I use it religiously and I am almost through my second bottle now. For anyone looking for relief I would highly recommend!
