Medistik is great for using on sore muscles, like after lifting weights (usually a day or two after a workout is when I need it the most). It works fast as well: maybe five minutes after I apply it I can already feel the pain going away. I also use it sometimes after running to relieve the inflammation I get in my legs. It cools down/soothes my shins, and allows me to get on w/ my day. I highly recommend this product!
As a massage therapist, I use this product regularly on my clients and find that they respond to it very positively. Often they’ll end up buying their own Medistik at my recommendation, because they see how effective it is.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
INGREDIENTS
- 30% Methyl Salicylate acts as an anti-inflammatory, counter-irritant, and vasodilator (helps blood flow to carry oxygen to affected areas). This organic compound derived from oil of wintergreen relieves pain through both hot and cold sensations, improves blood flow, increases oxygen and heals pain by targeting the enzyme processes that cause inflammation.
- 15% Menthol acts as a counter-irritant and vasodilator. Menthol creates the cooling sensation you will feel after applying MEDISTIK, relieving pain and improving blood flow.
- 1% Eucalyptus Oil acts as a counter-irritant and vasodilator. Because of its medicinal properties, many different styles of medicine have incorporated the oil that comes from the eucalyptus tree for thousands of years.
Other Ingredients: Paraffin Wax, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, White Petrolatum, Oleic Acid 700, BHT.
