Medicinal Benefits
Mendocino Joint Compound is traditionally used for joint pain, arthritis, gout, bone spurs, tendonitis, and general stiffness. Customers also report relief from muscle cramps, sports injury soreness, and the aches that come from overdoing it.
An unusual use for this salve is TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain. Dr. Robert Drosman, DDS, recommends Mendocino Joint Compound to his patients with jaw pain from capsular inflammation, and they report real relief. Few herbal salves are used for TMJ—this is one of them.
Some customers also use it for skin conditions like athlete’s foot and psoriasis. Results vary, but many long-time users keep a jar around as part of their daily routine.
How It Works—The Castor Oil Base
The base is cold-pressed castor oil, used for centuries in traditional herbalism as an anti-inflammatory. Castor oil penetrates deep into tissue, carrying the salve’s botanical ingredients beneath the skin where they can go to work.
Wolfgang combines that castor oil base with lavender flowers (traditionally used for their calming properties), rosemary (which may support circulation in the area), and poke root (long used in folk medicine for swelling and inflammation). All ingredients are wild-crafted or organically grown in Mendocino County and prepared by hand in small batches.
Who It’s For
- •People with arthritis, joint stiffness, or chronic joint pain
- •Athletes recovering from sports injuries or over-exertion
- •People looking for a natural alternative to conventional joint products
- •People with TMJ or jaw pain—recommended by Dr. Robert Drosman, DDS, for patients with capsular inflammation
How to Use
Massage generously into affected areas. For best results, keep the area warm overnight. The skin absorbs the salve more effectively when moistened with a warm, damp washcloth before application.
What Our Customers Say
“I have had Inflammatory disease for around 15 years. When I began using ‘Mendocino Joint Compound’ my hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders would have such severe attacks of pain and swelling I had to quit sculpting. I was having such pain in my joints I had to use two stiff hands just to drink a glass of water — picking up a pan or a fork — forget it! As I started using the ‘Joint Compound’ I not only experienced immediate relief (between 15-30 minutes), my attacks became fewer and fewer each week. For me, it was nearly a miracle cure — all Natural; no side affects; no ‘designer drugs’ just Relief! I am now having 2-3 mild flare-ups a Month and an extra application shuts them down within an hour! So, for me, this ‘Joint Compound’ is proven to be cumulative.”

“This product is the ‘Cats Meow’… my patients with jaw pain from capsular inflammation in the jaw joint have totally relieved all pain… By removing pain the jaw may reposition itself resulting in some patients to relieve and reduce all TMJ symptoms… It will not decrease life’s stress etc that may induce TMJ symptoms yet the pain gone is the perfect beginning… I have some patients who are utilizing the liquid intra-oral CBD with the unique herbal additives and the chronic pain has diminished 90% where ibuprofen is not being consumed to decrease the discomfort. The scientist who fabricates these products does so with knowledge and additional heart and soul. This expert has changed my life’s understanding of what alternative meds can enhance one’s life.”
