The reasons why our products work so well...
Natural Menthol
Menthol is a natural analgesic (pain reliever). Menthol contains molecules called ligands that attach themselves to kappa Opioid receptors in your cells, that trigger a numbing effect.
Menthol also causes vasodilation, widening blood vessels in the skin. This increases blood flow, which can speed up healing and encourage cellular repair. The cooling effect of Menthol stimulates thermoreceptors in the skin, which the nervous system interprets as cold, to relieve the heat of inflammation.
Epsom Salt
Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulfate) have the ability to aid in curing pain. Magnesium is easily absorbed through the skin and is known to help reduce inflammation and assist muscle/nerve function. Sulfates work by improving cellular nutrient uptake and improving blood flow.

Menthol plants are native to Eurasia, North America, southern Africa, Australia, and many other temperate parts of the world.
It has been notably used since the 1600s to relieve pain.
How does menthol work?
Menthol works by acting on a protein in sensory nerve cells called TRPM8, which is an ion channel involved in the sensation and transmission of thermal stimuli, sometimes called the “cold receptor.” By activating TRPM8, menthol “tricks” your sensory nerves into thinking “cooler.”
