Menthol - Known for its incredible soothing properties, Menthol replaces the “pain” message with a cooling sensation to provide temporary relief from localized pain. When rubbed into the skin, it increases blood circulation to the affected area to produce a cool (though some people experience warm), soothing feeling that lasts for several hours. Menthol provides temporary relief from strains, sprains, muscle pain, tension and simple backache. It has local anesthetic and counterirritant properties, meaning it can work as a local anesthetic to suppress mild pain. When applied externally, Menthol can help relieve neuralgia and quell superficial inflammation. MyOmega contains 12% Menthol, which is more than IcyHot, Bengay or Tiger Balm contain.
Camphor 6% - Camphor is a penetrating, medicinal oil derived from the tropical tree, Cinnamonium camphora. When applied topically, Camphor may produce a warming sensation. When rubbed into painful, stiff joints, ligaments and muscles, it provides soothing, lasting pain relief. Combined with Menthol, Camphor delivers fast and efficient pain relief.
Capsaicin .025%- Most pain-relievers become less effective over time, as the body builds up a tolerance and gradual immunity. For those who rely on pain relievers as part of their daily routine, this can be very frustrating. Luckily, there’s an alternative. Studies show that Capsaicin, the active ingredient in MyOmega™ Heat Therapy Cream, plays a vital role in reducing Substance P, the natural “pain chemical” found in the body. Substance P is responsible for the sensation of pain, because it transmits a signal to the central nervous system that activates pain receptors. Research shows that repeated use of Capsaicin actually blocks the production and release of Substance P. The more you use MyOmega™, the stronger the pain-relieving power.
