Topical Analgesics are a great way to alleviate the pain of muscle strain while you wait for the area to heal. These products are widely available and come in a variety of lotions and creams. The products that are most effective in reducing pain and inflammation are the ones that carry anti-inflammatory ingredients. Products that contain Capsicum and Aloe Vera are very beneficial for reducing inflammation. However, there are also products that contain Emu Oil, which is a special type of oil that penetrates the skin and carries with it other anti-inflammatory ingredients. Other types of ingredients that help heal muscle pain faster and reduce inflammation are Arnica, Glucosamine, MSM, and Chondroitin. Topical analgesics are designed to ease the pain of muscle strain. If you are interested in finding one for yourself, make sure to look for a product that provides rejuvenating qualities as well as reduces inflammation from within. Topical analgesics are great to use during your down-time or rest periods. They can also be applied before or after an intense workout. Topical creams are much safer than taking NSAIDs because they have no risk of developing a dependency or life threatening side effects, which is why so many individuals are switching from painkillers to topical analgesics.
