Before I get into the product itself let me break down each ingredient in this product to better help you understand why each of them is vital in your recovery from the pain in your joints.
Pure Menthol- Menthol has a natural analgesic (pain reliever) attribute when used in lotion, gel, or cream form. As the lotion is applied, molecules called ligands attach themselves to receptors in your cell triggering a change. The menthol ligand attaches to the kappa Opioid receptor, which produces a numbing effect.
Another reason menthol works so well when you rub it on those aching muscles is because it triggers a process called vasodilation. Blood vessels in the area widen, increasing blood flow to the area and reducing the skin barrier function. As a result, other medicinal ingredients typically found in that lotion along with the menthol get to work faster while the increased blood flow itself bring nutrients necessary for cellular repair and carry away waste.
Finally, one of the biggest culprits behind muscle aches and pains is inflammation. The Latin word for inflammation is inflammare which means “to set on fire.” Menthol brings a wonderful cooling sensation by stimulating thermoreceptors in the skin cells which help your body recognize temperature changes. Your skin doesn’t actually change temperature. Instead, menthol causes a signal to be sent which your brain interprets as cold, relieving the uncomfortable heat of inflammation. That’s why many first aid products use menthol for cooling in place of ice.
Anhydrous Caffeine- Caffeine is often used as an ingredient in pain relievers, particularly those that treat migraine headaches. Caffeine makes pain relievers such as aspirin 40% more effective. It also helps the body to absorb medication more quickly, bringing faster relief.
Eucalyptus- Eucalyptus oil in particular has been cited with extraordinary pain relieving faculties. These abilities stem from the substances’ ability to have a positive stimulant effect on the body’s circulatory system. The result is an increased blood flow and therefore also oxygenation of the bodily tissues. This can greatly help to heal any painful injuries. Remember, pain is little more than your body’s warning system all is not well. There are some areas of the body where greater care is indicated! By fostering a healing of these affected tissues, the pain will go away naturally as the cause is removed.
In addition to increasing the oxygen flow to the affected tissues, eucalyptus oil has a great reputation for doing away with muscle spasms. It also may even have a somewhat slight sedative effect to the area to which it is applied. Migraine sufferers in particular are urged to give the eucalyptus a try because of the dual effect in pain abatement if offers. It is surprising in today’s highly educated society there is not more of an urgency to get back to basics. However, many people are still not aware of natural products and their benefits.
Sometimes a patient may endure years of excruciating pain requiring multitudes of chemically mixed painkillers in order to live an ounce of a normal life. On the other hand, there are those adventurous souls who choose to give eucalyptus and other herbs and oil a chance! Before long they notice some very real and lasting relief. Not only will they prevent years of pain and suffering, but they also save themselves a lot of assorted health problems brought on by various painkillers.
Copaiba- This oil really stands out as a natural pain relief. This property is used in many products as well. In fact, its pain relieving effects can be even stronger than Wintergreen essential oil, which is well renowned for pain relief. Whatever be the cause of pain, this oil helps in lowering down the sensation of pain.
Arthritis and gout
Headaches
Pain due to an injury. If there is a cut or wound, apply it on outer edges of wound to lower inflammation and pain caused by stretching of skin during scab formation.
Muscular cramp pain
Fibromyalgia – This is very helpful for people with fibromyalgia symptoms.
Back joint pain and sciatica – Use deep massage to relieve sciatica using this oil.
Glucosamine- Glucosamine is a compound that is naturally made in humans. It is involved in the creation of molecules that form cartilage.
Evidence supports the use of glucosamine sulfate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. It is believed that the sulfate portion may help strengthen cartilage. If this is confirmed, it would mean that the glucosamine sulfate form is more effective than glucosamine without sulfate.
Glucosamine is often taken together with chondroitin, which comes from cartilage. The use of integrative therapies like glucosamine is often seen in people with osteoarthritis. These treatments may help reduce doses of drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs).
Glucosamine has also been studied for possible benefits on wound healing, skin conditions such as psoriasis, and the prevention of migraine. More research is needed in these areas.
Research shows that glucosamine is well tolerated for up to three years. However, people who are allergic to shellfish should avoid using it.
Chondroitin- Chondroitin sulfate is a molecule that is found naturally in the body. It has mostly been used to treat joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis, and problems with the chewing muscles and joints.
Clinical trials on the use of chondroitin for osteoarthritis have found promising results. However, most of the studies are conducted for less than two years. Adequate assessment of long-term safety, side effects, and effectiveness is lacking.
Early evidence suggests that chondroitin sulfate may improve the absorption of iron and measures of coronary artery disease. However, more research is needed in these areas.
So now that we know all the aspects that make up this joint relief pain let's take a look at this roll on pain relief more by seeing pictures of the product I received.
As you can see this pain reliever is portable enough to carry around with you anywhere for any pain relief needs on the go. It also has a great roller ball on it to allow for easy no mess application to the affected area. It has a very pleasant lavender and citrus smell to it making it enjoyable to wear to the senses as well as helping ease your pain.
As far as how well it works I can say I would put this up against anything else on the market right now cause I truly do enjoy the relief from joint pain after I apply this to my affected area.
