Liniment - Best choice for pain relief & muscle aches

What is liniment and how does it work?

Liniment is an ointment or cream that can provide pain-relieving effects by increasing blood circulation. Liniment can be experienced as both warming and cooling depending on the ingredients included. Many manufacturers of Aloe Vera liniment use water-reduced/dried Aloe Vera. However, we at Hot & Cold are proud to be able to use fresh Aloe Vera in our product.

There are different strengths of liniment. Many people believe that the more a liniment burns the skin when applied, the better the effect it has. The most important thing, however, is that the liniment penetrates deeply through all layers of the skin and reaches the muscle or muscle attachment. Aloe Vera is therefore an excellent base in a liniment because of its ability to penetrate deeply and carry the liniment ingredients to where they are beneficial. Aloe Vera also has a healing and pleasant effect on the skin.

For muscle pain

In addition to rest and light exercise, it is often recommended to heat and cool overworked muscles. A warming liniment is good for softening muscles before exercise and preventing stiffness.

For inflammation

Cooling liniments can help reduce swelling and relieve pain in inflammation of muscles and joints. Aloe Vera counteracts the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, thus leading to a faster healing process.

For sprains and strains

Cooling liniment relieves pain and reduces swelling in acute injuries.

For neck and shoulders

For tension and stiffness in the neck, warming liniment works great to increase blood flow and relax the muscles through the warming effect.
