A topical analgesic that relieves pain through a menthol-induced cooling process, used to treat minor aches and pains of the muscles/joints. Unlike medications and surgical procedures, it relieves pain naturally for conditions such as overworked muscles, chronic back pain, arthritis and sprains. Menthol works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the aches/pains deeper in your muscles and joints, providing targeted and effective pain relief.
