How It Works
Methyl Salicylate (similar to aspirin) works by creating a warming sensation, increasing blood flow to the area and helping ease pain.

Linseed Oil helps by soothing inflammation and allowing the skin to absorb the medicine more effectively.
Together, they reduce pain and stiffness in the area where applied.
