Neufreez 2.5FLoz Gel 1s

Menthol and Camphor Gel's mechanism of action involves a combination of effects on sensory receptors in the skin. Menthol acts as a cooling agent by activating cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors, which leads to a decrease in the perception of pain and the sensation of cooling without actual temperature change. This activation inhibits the transmission of pain signals through the spinal cord. Camphor, on the other hand, stimulates cutaneous cold receptors, contributing to the cooling sensation and providing a counter-irritant effect. It also increases local blood flow, which may aid in the relief of minor aches and pains associated with muscle soreness. The combination of these two compounds creates a synergistic effect, providing temporary relief from minor skin irritations and creating a soothing sensation on the skin.
