The Usuals™ Extra Strength Pain Relief Spray provides a topical solution that absorbs directly through the skin, targeting the specific area where it is applied.
Menthol in Action: Cooling Skin and Enhancing Circulation
Menthol, derived from different oils extracted from a variety of plants, such as mint (mentha), peppermint and eucalyptus, is specifically known for its vasoactive properties. Botanically speaking, menthol acts as a cooling agent on the skin, causing the blood vessels to cycle through a cooling effect (through vasodilation); these changes in vasoactivity enable the blood to flow more freely through the blood vessels, which can help ease aches and muscle tension.

I sprayed it on my back as I had strained it at the gym. It really helped pull out that awful pain that was so uncomfortable even getting up from a chair. It's easy to use because it is a spray, as I live alone, with with no one to help application.
