Muscle soothing cream:
Myogesic Muscle Pain Relief Cream 100g Specially formulated methyl salicylate, menthol and camphor cream. It penetrates the skin to relieve pain and stiffness, minor arthritis and muscle aches.

Camphor is a stimulant, used topically to increase local blood flow and as an anti-irritant, reducing pain and swelling.
