Biofreeze 118ml Spray

Menthol spray exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through its interaction with temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the body, particularly the TRPM8 receptor. When applied topically, menthol binds to and activates TRPM8 receptors, which are widely expressed in sensory neurons. This activation leads to a cascade of events it triggers the opening of ion channels, allowing the movement of ions across the cell membrane, which in turn generates a cooling sensation. This cooling effect is the result of menthol's ability to modulate neuronal signaling pathways involved in thermoregulation and sensory perception. By stimulating TRPM8 receptors, menthol spray can provide temporary relief from discomfort by creating a sensation of cold, which helps to distract from or reduce the perception of pain or irritation in the targeted area. The localized cooling effect can also reduce inflammation and provide a soothing feeling, contributing to its therapeutic benefits.

Analgesic, antipruritic.
