Does it have an odor? Does it have a color that will stain like Blue Comfort did?

Banish My Pain has a mild herbal scent. Several customers have commented that they appreciated that it didn\'t smell medicinal. It DOES NOT have any coloring in it, so will not stain clothing, sheets or carpet.

Will this work for a slipped disc in my back? My pain is excruciating.

Emu oil can\'t fix the underlying cause of slipped disc pain, but it can help with the general pain and achiness that result. It will also reduce associated inflammation. We don\'t make false promises, so freely acknowledge that a slipped disc will probably require other treatments in addition to Banish My Pain.

For fibromyalgia what are the benefits, if any, for emu oil and/or emu joy?

Fibromyalgia is one of the toughest pain ailments to relieve. Emu oil HAS been able to help some people with their fibromyalgia pain, as evidenced by this note from a customer who used Banish My Pain: "I suffer from Fibromyalgia and usually go through my day accepting the achy pains and tenderness. After recieving my Emu Joy Joint and Muscle Pain Relief cream, I opened it right away. My shoulders and neck are usually are where my pain lingers. While rubbing in the cream, it felt nice. Not only just because I was giving myself a mini massage, but the oil really does go deep and relieve the aches of the day. Also, the smell is great. I do not like creams that smell like you took a bath in medicine. Great product!" Either our Pure Emu Oil or the Banish My Pain salve may provide relief for your symptoms. The Pure Emu Oil is 100% emu oil, no other ingredients. Banish My Pain contains 20% emu oil (much higher than the other pain creams on the market which contain emu oil) as well as other botanical ingredients which have known pain relieving properties, such as arnica.
