Tag: Liniment

Evidence shows that ancient cultures like the Egyptians and Chinese used plant-based preparations similar to modern liniments to treat pain and inflammation. In contemporary pharmacology, the purpose of a liniment is to provide topical, localized relief for muscular aches, arthritis, and stiffness by creating a counterirritant sensation on the skin.

More than half of American adults are affected by musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis and back pain [1.8.1]. For many seeking localized relief, the question is, **what does liniment help with?** These topical preparations offer targeted aid for muscle aches, stiffness, and other discomforts [1.2.6, 1.3.4].
