Use of Menthol

Pharmacy and Medicine

Menthol has a cooling effect, e.g. on a sore muscle. After a time, the receptors are activated (menthol effect), and the temperature in the muscles increases, which causes the expansion of blood vessels and finally warms up the application site. This compound is commonly used in external preparations for rubbing painful muscles, as well as internally for colds or indigestion.

Menthol is also an ingredient that provides flavor and aroma. It also helps to clear the nose and reduce runny nose. It is commonly found in mouth fluids as a breath-freshening ingredient that feels fresh and clean.
