Radian B muscle rub

How does it work?

Radian B muscle rub contains a combination of menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate and capsicum oleoresin as active ingredients.

Menthol relieves itching and causes the blood vessels on the surface of the skin to widen. This causes a sensation of coldness followed by a reduction in pain.

Camphor, methyl salicylate and capsicum oloeresin are counter-irritants, which when applied to the skin, cause redness and heat to be produced. This distracts the brain from the original pain and therefore reduces the perception of pain.

This preparation is used to relieve the symptoms of aches and pains such as muscle stiffness, bruising, sprains and fibrositis. The act of massaging the rub into the painful area also helps relieve symptoms.

Apply to the affected area and slowly massage well into the skin.
