For some people, heat or cold rubs work well to relieve muscle aches and pains. They work by “counter-irritation,” which means an ingredient in the rub causes a mild inflammation of the skin which distracts the pain responses from the muscles. These rubs also create heat which increases the blood flow to the area. Do not use a heating pad on the areas you apply the rub to.
