I just discovered Biofreeze recently when I went to a health fair and most of the chiropractors there offered sample packs of it; so, I took them home, and from time to time, I do have my aches and pains. So when one of my knees started causing me pain, I put some of this on the knee, and I won't lie, the pain left; Every so often, my hands be in pain, and I in spite of it being a gel, I did apply it, not only is the gel odorless, containing Illex, an analegsic, which is effective pain control for soreĀ and sprained muscles as well arthritic joints. The gel is VERY effective. I suggest that you get a tube, bottle of this for your aches and pains.
