Temporarily relieves minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains. Commonly found in over-the-counter topical analgesic products.
Acts as a counter-irritant—camphor produces a cooling/tingling sensation while capsicum extract creates a warming effect, helping to distract from underlying pain. Capsicum may also deplete substance P in nerve endings, reducing pain signals over time.
For external use only. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid heat sources (heating pads) on treated areas as this may increase skin irritation. Stop use and consult a doctor if condition worsens or symptoms persist beyond 7 days.
