Use

Counterpainis used to treat mild pain or pain in muscles/joints (eg, arthritis, back pain, sprains). Menthol and methyl salicylate are known as irritants. They work by feeling cool on the skin and then warming up on touch. These emotions on the skin keep the muscles, joints and tendons from feeling deeper pain.

Some products may not be used on children under the age of 12 without the advice of a doctor. Please check the label carefully before use by children aged 2 to 12 years. Do not use on children under 2 years.
