SARNA LOTION 60ML

The mechanism of action of Menthol, Camphor, and Phenol Lotion involves a combination of counterirritant, analgesic, and cooling effects. Menthol activates cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, creating a cooling sensation that helps distract from the underlying pain or discomfort. This activation inhibits the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Camphor acts as a mild counterirritant, stimulating nerve endings and producing a warming sensation, which can help relieve minor aches and pains. Phenol, a local anesthetic and antiseptic, contributes to the analgesic effect by numbing the area and reducing pain sensitivity. Together, these components provide temporary relief by modulating sensory perception and reducing the perception of pain at the site of application.
