How Diclofenac Diethylamine + Linseed Oil + Menthol + Methyl Salicylate works
Diclofenac diethylamine is an analgesic that blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are naturally occurring chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain.
Linseed oil has anti-inflammatory, properties and it helps to reduce skin irritation and to provide a soothing, calming effect on the skin.
Menthol provides a cooling sensation that distracts from the pain by stimulating the nerve endings that sense cold temperatures, which contributes to its pain-relieving effect.
Methyl salicylate, an organic ester derived from plants, works by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow. This action causes mild skin irritation, which leads to a sensation of warmth and provides relief from musculoskeletal pain through counterirritation.
