Benefits:

• May temporarily increase local blood flow to the affected area. This vasodilation can reduce inflammation and speed up muscle recovery. 
• May be used for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches from conditions such as arthritis, strains, sprains, and backaches.
• May relieve pain by acting as a counterirritant, creating a cooling or warming sensation on the skin that distracts from the underlying pain signals.
• May improve circulation, ease muscle cramps, and stiffness.
• May stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers.
• May ease swelling in tissues, providing relief for both acute and chronic issues.
• May be as effective as ibuprofen gel for relieving pain and stiffness from hand and knee osteoarthritis.
