    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Biofreeze is a natural pain-relief gel that is widely used by physical therapists, physicians, massage therapists and athletic trainers. It was created by Dr. Danne King, a renowned botanical chemist, and is manufactured by G.R. Lane Health Products. Biofreeze comes in a tube, roll-on, spray and trial packets and can be used for many purposes.

    Significance

    Biofreeze is the only pain-relief medication that contains ilex, an herbal extract that comes from the holly shrub in South America. Its unique blend of ilex, herbs, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and menthol can provide long-lasting muscle-pain relief in hard-to-reach places like the middle back.

    Function

    Biofreeze is often used by massage therapists and medical professionals before massage and ultrasound treatments. The cooling sensation of Biofreeze is known to enhance pain relief in this type of patient.

    Effects

    Physical therapists use Biofreeze to provide cool, soothing pain relief for patients before they put them through rehabilitation exercises. Biofreeze enables patients to make certain movements that would ordinarily be too painful for them.

    Benefits

    People can use Biofreeze to temporarily relieve pain symptoms from arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and other joint discomfort, plantar fasciitis of the feet and diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain). Biofreeze can be used on virtually any place on the body, such as the neck, shoulder, ankle and elbow.

    Considerations

    Biofreeze is used for relieving aches and pains but does not actually cure these conditions. People should contact their doctor before using any type of pain medication.
