Hey it's Ben,
If you don't know the story behind this brand, and why our hero product is called Freedom Balm, you are about to find out.

It was just over three years ago that I started to get wind of this trucker convoy thing...
I had left Canada in November for an undefined road trip in the US, literally the day before the borders got locked down (story for another time).
The Canadian government was locking down more every week and the Winter ahead looked dark and bleak.
Canada was a scary place at that time...
You weren't allowed to participate in society unless you surrendered your personal autonomy to the government by getting an experimental vaccine - plain and simple.
People who refused to do so were persecuted, ridiculed, and treated as second class citizens.
We lost jobs; were kicked out university programs; were excluded from restaurants, gyms, concerts, travelling, and just about any activity outside the home - for multiple years.
We were ridiculed by the media, mocked by health "experts", and slandered by our own Prime Minister.
I remember vividly:

I remember vividly:
My little brother getting kicked out of the hockey arena for not having the jab (at 16 years old!) and getting his friend to sneak him in the back door of the arena so he could still play...
My older brother getting kicked off the Toronto Fire Department with no pay for the same reason.
Other friends who were kicked out of university programs, excluded from social events, and let go from their jobs.
There was even legitimate talk of withholding healthcare and sending "people like us" to camps - READ THAT AGAIN.

I remember my grandma telling me on the phone to just get the shot because: "everyone else was doing it".
I can feel the pit in my stomach coming back as I write this.
It was dark.
Shame on every single person who enforced, encouraged, and stood by those evil and unethical mandates.
I am forever grateful for my close family and close friends who had the courage to stand by their intuition, personal autonomy, and critical thinking during one of the biggest formalized psychological operations in human history.
Courage usually doesn't feel like courage while it's happening, it just feels lonely and scary and you doubt yourself a lot... you wonder if you are being "extreme" or "unreasonable".
But deep down, you know what's right and you know what's wrong.
And all science aside, getting forced by the government to inject a DNA altering "medicine" into your body and not letting you participate in society if you don't is about as wrong as it gets - regardless of ANY health emergency.
But then it all started to happen...
A few "fringe" of working class people decided enough was enough.
They decided to take this protest right to parliament and take a stand for a country - and the Freedom Trucker Convoy of 2022 was born.

Shoutout to Tamara Lich and Chis Barber who helped organize the whole thing - they are true Canadian heroes (who are still being prosecuted by our government by the way).
As mentioned above, I was a nomad in the US at this point, basically wandering around trying to become a freelance writer and wondering if I could ever go home or if I was about to be an expat forever...
I was talking to my brothers on the phone and tracking the convoy as it started to pick up momentum across Canada.
I have goosebumps writing this as I remember watching the videos of those trucks driving under the underpasses with thousands of Canadians cheered them on in -30 C degree weather...

Darkness and isolation turned to community and hope, people wept, laughed, and cheered as they suddenly realized they were not alone.
I'm not afraid to say that I had tears streaming down my face as I watched those videos...

It's hard to explain the hope and pride that welled up in my heart but I know a whole bunch of you reading this had the exact same experience.... and it goes beyond words.
There's a lot more to this story but that hope and passion which was kindled three years ago has never gone out.
It was that flame of passion which inspired the message of this brand and the name for our first product - Freedom Balm - or "F-Balm" for short.

(It also doubles as a not so subtle "F you" to mandate pushers and corrupt leadership who try so hard to take away our freedom and ruin our great country)
F-Balm is a sign of the freedom movement that was born in Canada three years ago.

It is a reminder to everyone of the courage and passion of that "fringe minority" who sparked a worldwide movement of hope and courage against truly evil authority that sought to stamp out the human spirit.
Since that January of 2022, this time of year will always be convoy season, and I will never stop talking about it.
To commemorate the last few days of the Freedom Convoy, I invented our annual Freedom Sale which takes place February 21-23 and where everything is 20% off.
But more on that soon.
I know this was a long one, so I'll end it here.

I don't always get to respond but I am always moved by the responses from you dear freedom fighters who support this brand and this mission.
Much love,

Thank you Ben, and everyone else who left their story here. My story is the same but different, suffice to say that WE are all brothers and sisters.
I didn’t know anything about balm but I know about freedom and I respect all those that understand the importance of it. I would take the shirt off my back for you Ben and wish you all the success in the world. May God shower His blessings upon you.
Wow. I couldn’t have worded this better myself. I cried reading this because exactly what you wrote is exactly how I felt along with sooo many others. It was devastating and so very very wrong. I too seeing all the people lining the highways in support of the Freedom Convoy felt something so big and so very beautiful welling up inside of me and Finally I wasn’t alone. I will be forever grateful to Chris and Tamara and everyone else for standing up for our rights and our freedoms. I didn’t make it to Ottawa but I made it to Milk River and the Coutts Border and experienced the most BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL MOVEMENT I’ve ever seen and will forever be grateful to have been a part of this amazing journey in history. Thank you for this wonderful product that is derived from the most beautiful historical movement the world has ever seen. 🇨🇦💪🏻🇨🇦
I was on those overpasses in -30c and also in Ottawa during this this historic time. It was worth the frozen fingers and toes. I lost a lot of friends and family during this time for not getting the ‘jab’ and for participating in the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa but I would do it over in a heartbeat. As of today we still are not out of the woods. Their depopulation agenda 2030 and 15 min Cities is being forwarded at an alarming rate. Keep up the good fight and never surrender. Oh, and by the way I love your product(s). A friend gave me a sample and I just ordered a whack of it!! Hope to share some with my freedom loving friends!! Cheers Jeannie Devine
It’s hard to believe we were ever made to feel like outcasts because we didn’t believe that this miraculous shot was going to save everyone. When I seen my good fit athletic friend get sidelined after shot #1 with pericarditis, I knew I was not going there.
Thank you for bringing up the anniversary date. We can never go back to that dark place.
I am on my first order of F Balm and I absolutely love it. It has helped clear up irritated sun spots on my face and I will never be without it. Keep up the good work!
Cindy
I was there following the convoys around our city, at the rally’s, and participating in “secret” worship services when our pastor was locked up and our building fenced off. Those were indeed dark days and may God help those who try it again!
I hear you brother, and I support you (my family and I have been using your product for well over a year now and we are definitely seeing positive results).
Fight the good fight: you are definitely not alone!
