How Roll On Relief Works

Roll On Relief is applied externally to the area of minor aches or pains. Its current product material identifies camphor, menthol and peppermint oil as active ingredients.

The counterirritant idea

Menthol and camphor are commonly discussed as counterirritant ingredients: they create sensory effects on the skin that can temporarily change the perception of minor discomfort. That is different from treating the underlying cause of pain.

The roll-on format

A rolling-ball applicator can make targeted application convenient and reduce direct contact with the hands. Format is a usability feature, not evidence of greater clinical effectiveness.

Use the label, not assumptions

Follow the current Drug Facts directions and warnings. Do not infer that “natural” supporting ingredients make a topical automatically safer or more effective.
