Have you heard of Biofreeze?  This product is making a big splash in the massage community, as well as with everyday people seeking help for hurt or sore muscles.  This product is an herbal extract, which helps relieve pain.

This product is considered cold therapy, which is applying something cold to the muscle tissue to reduce blood flow and thus slowing the nerves sending pain singles to the brain.  This alleviates the pain symptoms.  For example, when a person hurts a muscle, they usually apply an ice pack to help stop swelling and lessen the overall pain.  This product does just that except it penetrates even deeper into the muscle to get the job done, and usually works for several hours.

Biofreeze is fast acting, especially when used in conjunction with massage, which helps warm the sore muscles up so they can further absorb the product.  Unlike other treatments, this product does not leave a greasy feeling or a bad smell.  It has a light fragrance that disappears after it is absorbed, leaving no mess behind.  This product is thus ideal for any situation where a sore muscle needs some relief.

Just how does it work?  The product is made from extracts of the South American holly bush called Ilex.  If you are a trained massage therapist it can be used in situations such as for clients with arthritis pain, injuries due to sports or accidents, and really anyone complaining of pain in their muscles.

Biofreeze comes in a variety of styles, from a roll on to a spray, wipes, tube and even a pump gel dispenser.  You can buy the products in a variety pack so you can find which one works best for you or for your clients before purchasing more.  The products typically last for up to two years, giving you plenty of time to try them all out.  Only health care providers can sell these products, meaning if you are not a health practitioner you won’t be able to buy them from any other source but a doctor or the like.  You do not need a prescription in order to purchase these however, which does make the process easier.

If you are looking for a fast acting product that really works on sore muscles, then you really should give Biofreeze a try. Talk to a licensed healthcare professional to find out more about this wonderful cold therapy treatment.
