Natural Pain Relief Gel
Doctor Hoy's Natural Pain Relief Gel is a topical, water-based, analgesic which combines Arnica Montana, a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory, with Time-Release Menthol and Camphor for deep comforting relief from painful muscles, joints, stiffness, simple backache, neck ache, arthritis, bursitis, sprains, strains, and bruises.
Menthol and Camphor are listed as topical or external analgesics by the Food and Drug Administration. They help to block pain receptors. Because Menthol only lasts about 40 minutes after it is applied to the skin, a portion of our Menthol is encapsulated in a Time Release Delivery System to produce hours of relief. The Pain Relief Gel also contains Arnica, a natural anti-inflammatory, which relieves pain by decreasing inflammation.

While this will vary from person to person, most report between 1 to 5 hours of deep, lasting relief. This is due to our unique Time-Release Delivery System. Layering the gel allows for deeper absorption in the tissue for extended relief. Use alone or combine with Doctor Hoy's Natural Arnica Boost.
For best results, apply a generous amount to the affected and surrounding areas. Massage the gel into the skin until it has completely absorbed into the skin and begins to dry. Layering the gel allows for extended relief and a stronger sensation.
