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.

Menthol is used to provide quick relief from common discomforts. It can soothe a sore throat, calm a cough, ease nasal congestion, and reduce minor skin irritation.Its refreshing, cooling action makes you feel more comfortable and helps reduce the impact of everyday symptoms.

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.
