HAMDARD BALM 30G

The Menthol, Camphor, Clove Oil, and Eucalyptus Oil balm exhibits its therapeutic effects through several mechanisms. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by activating cold-sensitive receptors, reducing the perception of pain and itching. Camphor acts as a counterirritant, stimulating sensory nerve endings and distracting from underlying discomfort. Clove Oil, rich in eugenol, possesses analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Eucalyptus Oil contains eucalyptol, which provides a soothing effect and aids in relieving respiratory congestion. This combination of ingredients works synergistically to offer temporary relief from minor aches, pains, and respiratory discomfort.
