Camphor + Menthol + Cajuput Oil + Mint Oil + Clove Oil

A combination of aromatic ingredients and essential oils used as a topical analgesic and decongestant. Camphor and menthol act as counter-irritants to create a cooling then warming sensation that distracts the brain from pain signals. Cajuput, mint, and clove oils provide local anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.
