How Orthoday Liniment works
Orthoday Liniment is a pain relieving medication containing four ingredients. Diclofenac works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and swelling. Methyl salicylate has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it can help reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area. When applied to the skin, Menthol produces a cooling sensation, which can help alleviate discomfort and provide relief. With dual hot and cold action, camphor numbs and cools the nerve endings, then warms the painful area as it improves circulation to stiff joints and muscles.
