A natural two-cream routine formulated to fight "inflammaging"
Australian veteran's discovery for aging joints has Aussies ditching standard heat rubs
Instant warming relief when you need it, daily inflammation support underneath it.
Common pain points
Do any of these sound familiar?
Doesn't matter what caused it. Somewhere in your 40s or 50s, aches like these stop being occasional and start being regular.
A slower kind of loop
This has been building for longer than you'd think
The quiet starting point
Muscle mass peaks in your late 30s. From here, most people lose 3 to 8% of it every decade.
& 50s
Recovery starts taking longer
A tweak that used to fade overnight now lingers for a week. Heat rubs go from occasional to a regular use.
The pace picks up
Both muscle loss and joint wear accelerate from here. What felt like the occasional bad day starts to feel like the norm.
now
Reaching for the heat rub again
Same spot, same stiffness. It helps for an evening. Then it's back, like nothing happened.
There's actually a name for what's quietly driving this.
Worth knowing
It's called inflammaging, and it has no symptoms
Inflammation quietly rises with age, on its own
Researchers call it "inflammaging": a chronic, low-grade inflammation that builds with age, described in the medical literature as systemic and asymptomatic, meaning it doesn't necessarily hurt while it's happening.
It wears down joints and muscle in the background
This same process is linked to cartilage breakdown in the joints and to sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, whether or not anything feels sore that day.
Heat only shows up once something already hurts
You reach for the heat rub when there's a symptom to respond to. But the process driving long-term wear has no symptom to trigger that response, so it just keeps going underneath, untouched.
Based on published research on inflammaging and age-related musculoskeletal decline (peer-reviewed geroscience literature on chronic low-grade inflammation and sarcopenia). Individual conditions vary, speak to a doctor about a specific concern.
Show me the alternative →Clearing up the confusion
None of this means the heat rub is a waste
It's genuinely doing a job, just a different job to the one people expect of it.
"I only need something when it actually hurts."
The inflammation behind long-term joint and muscle wear is described as asymptomatic, it's happening quietly whether today is a sore day or not.
"The heat rub loosens me up, so it's fixing the problem."
It's easing the tightness, which is real relief. It isn't addressing the inflammation building up in the background.
"I've always bounced back before, I'll be fine."
Recovery capacity itself changes with age, alongside muscle mass and joint cushioning. What worked at 30 isn't a fair test of what your body needs now.
"This is just what getting older feels like, nothing to be done."
The processes are real, but what you do to support your body day to day still genuinely changes how those years feel.
8%
of your muscle mass, lost roughly every decade after 30, whether you notice it happening or not. What you do for your joints and muscles today decides how the next decade feels.
The difference that matters
Instant relief, or actual support underneath it
Heat alone manages tonight. Heat plus daily support manages tonight and the years ahead of it.
Heat alone
- Loosens tight muscles fast
- Doesn't address the underlying inflammation
- Only shows up once something already hurts
- Relief resets by the next morning
OG + Heat, Together
- OG Cream first, for inflammation support
- Heat Cream 30 seconds later, same spot
- Used every time, not just the bad days
- A routine, not just a nightly fix
The alternative
Meet the Recovery Duo
This isn't about replacing your heat rub. It's about giving your joints something to work with in between.
Both creams go on together, every time, not one or the other. OG Cream goes on first, straight onto the area, for inflammation support. About 30 seconds later, Heat Cream goes on next, over exactly the same spot. Used this way, the combination is particularly good for joint stiffness, muscle spasm, and ongoing cramping in the bigger muscle groups, back, shoulders, hamstrings and calves especially.
Step 1
OG Cream
Massaged into the area first. This is what supports the inflammation behind the stiffness.
later
Step 2
Heat Cream
Applied straight over the same spot. This is what eases the spasm and cramping on top.

Who makes it
Mitch didn't set out to build a cream company
Peacemaker Healing was founded by Mitch, a medically retired veteran who served in both the Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces.
He was forced to retire in 2016 with serious physical injuries and post traumatic stress. He knows what it's like to need more support than something that just feels good for an evening.
So he started making things. Not for a market, for himself and the people around him. The range grew out of what actually helped, sold one tube at a time at the Cairns markets before it ever had a website.
Peacemaker Healing runs as a profit for purpose business, supporting veterans, first responders and their families affected by PTSD.

Worth doing alongside the duo
A few other things that genuinely help
None of this replaces good basics. These cost nothing and stack well with the routine above.
Regular resistance or strength work
The single most effective way to slow age-related muscle loss, according to the research. Doesn't need to be a gym, bodyweight and bands count.
More protein than you think you need
Older muscle responds less efficiently to the same amount of protein, a 65-year-old may need close to double what a 25-year-old needs per meal to get the same effect.
Short, regular movement, not just big workouts
A daily walk does more for joint mobility and circulation than an occasional big session. Consistency matters more than intensity here.
General movement and recovery guidance based on published research on sarcopenia and age-related muscle loss. Speak to a doctor or physiotherapist about a specific injury or ongoing pain.

Talk about a life saver! This cream is the bees knees for relief from chronic hip pain. Rub a bit down my legs and hips and within the hour I’m walking like I never had pain at all.

Missed one day and did I know about it! I would prefer bigger jars as I have chronic pain and will be using it daily at present.

I strained my wrist a few weeks ago and tried OG Cream by Peace Maker on a friend’s recommendation, so glad I did. The relief was almost immediate, with a soothing feeling that took the edge off the pain. It absorbs quickly, isn’t greasy, and has a light, pleasant scent. Couldn't believe it - the stiffness and discomfort started to ease within 15 minutes. After 3 applications over 3 days the pain was gone. It’s now my go-to whenever I feel any flare-up.

Before you ask
Questions we get a lot
Why do I need both creams, can't I just use one?
They're doing two different jobs on the same spot. OG Cream supports the inflammation behind the stiffness, Heat Cream eases the spasm and cramping on top of that. People notice the biggest difference using them together, thirty seconds apart, especially for cramping in the back, shoulders, hamstrings and calves.
What's the actual routine?
OG Cream first, massaged into the area. Wait about 30 seconds. Then Heat Cream, straight over the same spot. Every application, not just on the bad days.
Will Heat Cream burn or irritate my skin?
It's formulated to give a strong warming sensation, not a burning one. If you have particularly sensitive skin, patch test a small amount on your inner arm first, and don't apply to broken or irritated skin.
I have an actual injury, not just wear and tear. Is this still for me?
These are cosmetic topical creams, not a treatment for any medical condition. For a specific injury, sudden swelling, or pain that's new or getting worse, see a doctor or physiotherapist first.
How long until I notice a difference?
Heat Cream you'll feel within minutes. OG Cream is the slower-building part, most people find daily use over a few weeks is where they notice the real difference.
What if it doesn't help?
Then send it back. There's a 90 day money back guarantee, and Mitch and the team handle those personally.
Do you sell a bigger size?
Yes, both creams come in 250ml too. Just pick it in the size selector above the buy button.
Give your joints something for the long run
Two creams, one routine, thirty seconds apart, every time.
