Temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with sore muscles, joints, arthritis, Simple backache, and strains. Also used for temporary relief of itching associated with minor skin irritations, rashes, and insect bites.

Histamine (often in homeopathic dilutions) may contribute to the formulation's effect on local itching and inflammatory responses.
