Overview:
Menthol is a natural ingredient from mint that gives a cool, refreshing sensation.It’s found in ointments, lozenges, and inhalers to relieve sore throats, open up congested noses, reduce coughing, or soothe minor skin irritation. Its cooling effect helps you feel comfortable, relieved, and more at ease in everyday situations.

Menthol functions to cause the nerve endings on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes to become numb, and thus observe a degree of cooling. This cooling effect fools the brain into thinking it is getting relief from discomfort, opens nasal passages, soothes an irritated throat and minor aches or itching, making you feel more comfortable and refreshed.
