Properties of the main active ingredients:

• Devil's Claw Extract

Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is a plant native to the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. It grows in the savannas of Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana. The roots of the devil's claw plant have been used for centuries by the Khoisan people of South Africa to treat pain, arthritis, indigestion, and skin diseases.

Devil's claw extract has a unique chemical composition that includes iridoids, phenols, and bitter substances, along with some fatty acids and trace elements such as selenium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, and calcium. Many of devil's claw's benefits are attributed to a compound known as harpagoside, which is believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.

The plant is commonly used to treat rheumatic conditions affecting the joints, tendons, bones, and muscles. These include back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and tendonitis. It is also used therapeutically for fibromyalgia, sciatica, neuralgia, gout, and symptoms of Lyme disease.

• Menthol

Menthol has a refreshing and analgesic effect. It is used for various conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system - mild muscle and joint pain, as well as itching and redness caused by minor skin irritations. When applied to the skin, menthol causes a cooling sensation, then warms the application site. It quickly relieves pain by making nerve endings less sensitive to pain and itching.
