Our Story
Walk More,
Live More
Blue Dragonfly began with a simple belief: the best relief comes from nature. Every formula we craft honors that principle with pure, carefully chosen ingredients and honest care.
Our Founder
From One Man's Knees to a Family Mission
Our founder has been practicing in Hampton Roads, Virginia since 1994. He is the co-founder of the Ambulatory Foot & Ankle Center, P.C., and has helped train many resident doctors in foot surgery.
In 2015, Dr. Mawusi (board-certified foot surgeon, founder and CEO of Blue Dragonfly Company) had been running for at least ten years with bilateral knee braces because of pain. His doctor told him prescription anti-inflammatories were off the table; around that time he had been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which he struggled to manage even while working out regularly.
A friend recommended a plant-based diet. Hesitant at first, but with nothing else easing his pain or his blood pressure, he gave it a try — and the change in his knees was almost night and day. That raised a question: could premium-grade plant oils offer the same relief for his flare-ups?
After painstaking searching, he and his daughter Kenya found a lab that provided a premium-grade combination of plant oils that gave him the relief he had been looking for. He began sharing it with his patients, testing it across many types of pain. The results were unanimous — everyone kept saying the same thing: whatever is in that blue jar, it's the bomb.
"Whatever is in that blue jar, it's the bomb!"
Blue Dragonfly Wellness Company was founded in 2019 out of the Mawusi family's shared mission to bring effective natural remedies for joint and muscle pain discomfort. However, the balm was originally created to help one man's knee pain — but in my patient's own words, "the balm in the blue jar is the bomb." And thereafter, we named the product, Blue Dragonfly Balm.
In our society, many people live with hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes. Taking opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Motrin, ibuprofen, Naprosyn, Aleve, and Advil can put them at risk for serious complications — which is why a natural alternative matters.

The Science Behind It
Why Our Product Works
Powerful Natural Ingredients
Our formula combines camphor, menthol, arnica, and eucalyptus oil — botanicals chosen for their measurable effect on the skin's sensory receptors. Together they create a cooling-warming counterirritant signal that gates out deeper discomfort, with no synthetic chemicals and no shortcuts.
Fast-Acting Relief
The warming and cooling sensation activates relief within minutes. Our blend engages the skin's sensory receptors at the site, sending a counterirritant signal that interrupts the pain pathway — so you feel relief fast.
Long-Lasting Comfort
Unlike temporary solutions, our balm provides sustained relief for hours. The essential oils work synergistically to maintain circulation and reduce muscle tension throughout the day.
Safe for Daily Use
Handcrafted with natural ingredients, our balm is gentle enough for daily use without the harsh side effects of pharmaceutical alternatives. Perfect for athletes, office workers, and anyone seeking natural wellness.
Why Sensory Relief, Not Systemic
Blue Dragonfly works where you feel it. Counterirritants like camphor and menthol create a cooling-warming signal that gates deeper pain away from perception — relief you notice within minutes, not by waiting for inflammation to subside.

Reasons Why Walking Changes Everything
Read the full story →Heart Health
Just 30 minutes a day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 35%. Walking strengthens your heart without the strain of high-impact exercise.
Joint Relief
Walking lubricates your joints and strengthens the muscles around them, reducing stiffness and long-term pain — especially in the knees and hips.
Mental Clarity
A brisk walk triggers endorphin release and lowers cortisol, improving mood, reducing anxiety, and sharpening focus for hours afterward.
Better Sleep
Regular walkers fall asleep faster and experience deeper, more restorative sleep cycles — making it one of the simplest sleep aids available.
Circulation Boost
Walking activates the calf muscles, which act as a second heart, pumping blood back up through your legs and reducing swelling and fatigue.
Longevity
Studies show that people who walk at least 7,000 steps per day, live significantly longer and healthier lives than those who remain sedentary.
