Greaseless with deep cold pain reliever therapeutic Mineral Ice Pain Relieving Gel is a cool, greaseless pain reliever that penetrates deep to provide fast, temporary relief of the minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, simple backache, sports injuries, strains, sprains, and bruises. Try therapeutic Mineral Ice, discover the pleasant fragrance, and experience effective relief that feels cooling, soothing, penetrating, and lasts for hours. This medication is used to treat minor aches and pains of the muscles/joints (such as arthritis, backache, sprains). Menthol is known as a counterirritant. It works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the aches/pains deeper in your muscles and joints.
