What Experts Say

Topical rubs containing methyl salicylate, menthol, and camphor work through a principle called counterirritation. They create a warming or cooling sensation on the skin that distracts the brain from deeper muscle and joint pain.

Herbal pain relief creams like Multigesic are popular across Pakistani households, especially for elderly family members with joint stiffness or for laborers with daily muscle strain. They are valued because they avoid the stomach irritation that oral painkillers can cause.

While generally safe for occasional use, these creams should only be applied to unbroken skin and kept away from the eyes and mucous membranes. Overuse on large areas of skin can still lead to unwanted absorption into the bloodstream.
