Temporarily relieves minor aches and pains of muscles and joints due to simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains. Commonly used for muscle soreness, joint stiffness, and minor sports-related injuries.

Camphor and menthol provide a cooling sensation that distracts from pain, while niacin creates a warming effect through increased blood flow to the applied area. Together, they produce a dual warming/cooling sensation that helps soothe 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. Stop use and consult a doctor if condition worsens, symptoms persist for more than 7 days, or irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
