When is the best time to apply it?
After a warm shower and before bed. Warm water opens the blood vessels at the skin, so the warmth from Methyl Salicylate and Camphor is felt sooner. Applying it before sleep gives the muscle time to relax undisturbed.
How often can it be used?
Two to three times a day as needed. There is no added benefit to applying it more often than that, and some people's skin turns red if too much is applied.
How long does one bottle last?
For daily use on a single area of the body, a bottle typically lasts one to two months. It depends on how large an area is covered and how often it is applied.
When should you stop and see a doctor?
Stop using it and seek medical advice if the skin becomes red, itchy or sore. For back pain, get it examined if it comes with numbness or weakness in the legs, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels, fever, or pain that persists unchanged for more than two weeks. Massage oil relieves muscle — it is not a treatment for nerve or spinal problems.
