In The Pain Chronicles, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages--from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging--to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines, Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear.

Loved the smell - new packaging doesn’t smell the same :(
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this lotion. It is all I will use on my babies when they are little. It is rich and I love the unique fragrance. It might not be for everyone but I think it is absolutely wonderful and high quality. Update: The most recent bottle I bought is no longer in a pump and now I’m a tube. I imagine they did this because so many people complained of the pumps breaking. I don’t know if they changed the formula or what, but the scent is not as pleasant as I remember the older bottles to be. It is not as strong as it was and a little less earthy and a little more chemically. It still moisturizes VERY well and is all natural, but I’m dropping to 4 stars because it doesn’t smell as good.
