Product Information

Description
Methyl salicylate can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins (chemicals involved in pain and inflammation) in the local area where it is applied. This effect helps to reduce pain and inflammation. Methyl salicylate also acts as a counterirritant. It stimulates sensory nerves in the skin, causing a warming or cooling sensation. This distraction helps to reduce the perception of pain in underlying muscles or joints. Furthermore, the warming sensation caused by methyl salicylate can lead to increased blood flow in the area of application. This may help in reducing stiffness and improving mobility.
