Every Ingredient Has One Job: Put the Fire Out
One hero that flips the cold switch. One base that locks it on. Seven botanicals that condition dry, tired feet. Nothing else.
Peppermint Oil
The Cold SwitchNatural menthol flips the exact cold sensor that Nobel Prize-winning scientists discovered in 2021. Burning feet feel cool within minutes, with no ice and no actual cold.
Beeswax
The LockWatery creams evaporate. Beeswax doesn’t. It locks the peppermint onto your skin, so the cool doesn’t vanish before you’re asleep.
Sesame Oil
The GlideA rich, traditional massage oil that softens cracked heels and dry, rough soles, so the balm glides in instead of dragging.
Comfrey
Britain’s “Knitbone” HerbYour grandmother may have grown it. Comfrey has been rubbed into tired, aching legs and feet across Britain for generations.
Angelica Sinensis
The Treasured RootOne of the most prized roots in traditional Chinese practice, worked into comforting massage preparations for centuries.
Angelica Dahurica
The Skin RootA fragrant root trusted in traditional Asian skincare, giving the balm its soothing, earthy feel.
Frankincense
The Wise Men’s GiftOnce worth more than gold. Used in massage balms for thousands of years for its rich, calming scent and skin-conditioning oils.
Myrrh
The Inseparable PartnerIn traditional Chinese practice, myrrh and frankincense are paired so often they’re taught as one. Together, they condition and comfort the skin.
Feng Huang
The Phoenix IngredientA rare ingredient from traditional Chinese practice, and the final piece that completes the blend.
Why Old Remedies Beat Modern Creams for Burning Feet
- Centuries, not months: these roots and resins were trusted in massage balms long before the first chemist opened.
- Made to be massaged in: rubbed deep into tired feet, not dabbed on and forgotten like a modern lotion.
- No water, ever: traditional balms were made with oil and wax, so they stayed on the skin. Modern creams swapped that for cheap water.
- Cool, never hot: paired with peppermint, so VYQ puts the fire out instead of adding fuel to it.
VYQ Miracle Balm™ vs. Everything Else You’ve Tried
Most creams flip the wrong switch, or disappear before they can flip the right one.
Go to Your Bathroom Cabinet Right Now
Pick up any foot cream you own. In ten seconds, you’ll know exactly why it never worked.
1. Read the first ingredient
Does it say Aqua? Then you’ve been paying for water, and it evaporates before you’re even asleep.
2. Look for “warming” or chilli
Those flip your skin’s fire switch. That’s why your feet burned even hotter.
3. Now picture the opposite
No water. No heat. Just a cold switch that stays on. That’s VYQ, and you’ll feel the difference on night one.
The Nobel Prize Discovery Every Burning-Feet Sufferer Should Know
In 2021, David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding the switches in your skin that tell your brain “hot” or “cold.” One natural ingredient flips the cold one, and it’s in every tin of VYQ.
The year science finally explained why your feet feel on fire.
A fire switch that screams “hot” and a cold switch that says “cool.”
Peppermint’s menthol is the key scientists used to find the cold switch.
Nothing to evaporate, so the cold switch stays on.
VYQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Nobel Prize organisation or the scientists named. Their research explains how the skin senses temperature.
16,000+ Customers. One Thing in Common: They’re Sleeping Again.
Burning, tingling, sleepless nights. Here’s what happened when they flipped the cold switch.
“My feet would burn the second I got under the duvet. I used to kick it off, get cold, pull it back on and start the whole miserable business again. The peppermint coolness from VYQ feels completely different to the warming creams I had in the drawer. I now keep the little tin next to my reading glasses and use it before switching the lamp off. I still have the odd difficult evening, but I finally have a routine I actually want to stick with.”
“My wife got this for me after hearing me complain about my feet every evening. I was sceptical, naturally. The last stuff I tried felt like someone had poured chilli on my toes. VYQ has a proper cooling feel and doesn’t smell like a chemist’s waiting room. I massage it in whilst watching the ten o’clock news. Much nicer than the old rub.”
“Anyone who has stood barefoot on cold kitchen tiles at 2am will understand why I tried another balm. This one feels lovely and cool when I rub it into my soles. Wish I’d found it before buying so many tubes that are now sitting unused in the bathroom.”
“It wasn’t only the burning. It was being shattered the next day and snapping at everyone because I’d had another broken night. My daughter sent me VYQ and I told her I wasn’t paying for any more ‘miracle creams’. She bought me a tin anyway.
The first surprise was that it felt cool, not hot. The second was that I didn’t mind doing the massage — two quiet minutes before bed seemed manageable even when I was exhausted. It’s become part of how I wind down. My daughter is rather pleased with herself.”
“My feet are stone cold if you touch them, yet they can feel like hot coals inside. It’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t been through it. I don’t like wearing socks at night and I was worried about using anything strong. A little VYQ gives a cooling, peppermint feeling without the fierce heat I got from other rubs. Exactly the sort of thing I wanted for evenings.”
“I chose the three-pack because I wanted one beside my bed, one in the bathroom and one in the overnight bag. The balm has a lovely texture and the peppermint is fresh without being overpowering. My husband has already learned not to move the bedside tin!”
Every Question, Answered Straight
You’ve been let down by creams before. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Isn’t this just another peppermint cream?
No. Most peppermint creams are mostly water, so the cool evaporates within minutes. VYQ is 100% waterless. The beeswax locks the peppermint onto your skin, so the cold switch stays on instead of switching straight back off.
How quickly will I feel it?
Within minutes. Peppermint’s cooling is felt almost as soon as you massage it in. Use it every night before bed so the cool is already working when the burning would normally start.
My feet are cold as well as burning. Will it make them colder?
No. Menthol makes your skin feel cool without lowering its actual temperature, so your feet won’t get any colder. The massage itself helps warm cold feet.
Heat creams made my feet worse. Will this?
No. Heat creams use chilli (capsaicin), which flips your skin’s fire switch. That’s why they made it worse. VYQ contains zero heating ingredients. It flips the cold switch instead.
How do I apply it?
Take a small amount on your fingertips and massage firmly into clean, dry feet: soles, heels, toes, ankles and calves. Two minutes is all it takes.
Do I need to wear socks?
Only if you’re comfortable in them. A thin cotton pair helps the balm stay put. If socks bother your feet, let it sink in for a few minutes before getting under the duvet.
Is it greasy? What does it smell like?
It’s a rich balm, but a little goes a long way and it massages in well. The scent is warm, herbal and fresh, nothing like a medicated rub.
I take tablets from my GP or have diabetes. Can I use it?
VYQ is a topical balm and doesn’t pass through your stomach. If you take prescribed medication, have diabetes or a diagnosed nerve condition, check with your GP or pharmacist first, and never stop or change prescribed medication without their advice.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Skin responses vary, so patch test a small area first. Stop using it if redness, burning or irritation occurs. Don’t apply to broken or irritated skin.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your GP or midwife before using herbal topical products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
What ingredients are included?
Peppermint oil, beeswax, sesame oil, comfrey, Angelica Sinensis, Angelica Dahurica, frankincense, myrrh and Feng Huang. No water, no fillers.
How much is in each tin, and how long does it last?
Each tin contains approximately 30g of concentrated balm. For an evening massage using a small amount on both feet, plan on roughly 30 nights per tin. That’s why the 3-pack is designed as your 90-night supply.
When will my order arrive?
Orders are usually dispatched within 1–2 working days with tracked UK delivery. We’ll send tracking details by email as soon as your order is on its way. Tracked delivery is free when you choose the 3-pack.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Then you don’t pay. Use it every night for 90 nights. If you’re not sleeping better, email us for a full refund. No questions, no hoops, no arguing. The 90-night guarantee also covers opened tins from the 3-pack, so you can actually try your bedtime routine.
