Camphor Ice is used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with muscles and joints, such as those caused by arthritis, simple backache, strains, bruises, and sprains.
Camphor acts as a counter-irritant when applied topically, producing a cooling and warming sensation on the skin that helps distract from underlying pain. This sensory effect can provide temporary symptomatic relief for minor discomfort.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin. Do not bandage tightly or apply heat to the treated area. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if excessive skin irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
