How Diclofenac Diethylamine + Menthol + Methyl Salicylate + Virgin Linseed Oil works
Diclofenac Diethylamine + Menthol + Methyl Salicylate + Virgin Linseed Oil is a combination medication used for pain relief.
Diclofenac Diethylamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the production of chemicals called prostaglandins in the affected area, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation.
Menthol has cooling and analgesic properties. It induces a cooling sensation followed by warmth, which distracts from deep-seated pains. It stimulates specific nerve receptors and enhances blood flow.
Methyl salicylate (Wintergreen Oil), another NSAID ingredient related to aspirin, decreases inflammation and pain. Its counterirritant properties produce warming sensations, providing relief.
Virgin linseed oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, helps the skin absorb the other active ingredients more effectively. It also possesses some anti-inflammatory effects.
Together, these components provide effective relief from minor body pains by targeting discomfort in multiple ways.
