Pharmacological properties
Menthol has local irritating, anesthetic, distracting, antipruritic, antiseptic and calming effect. The effect is mainly due to reflex reactions associated with stimulation of the sensory nerve endings stimulation of skin receptors stimulates the formation and release of endogenous bioactive substances (enkephalins, endorphins, peptides, kinins) involved in the regulation of pain, vascular permeability, and other processes that provide analgesic distracting and antipruritic effect. The irritant (distracting) effect helps to reduce pain. Local action is accompanied by vasoconstriction, feeling cold, which turns into a feeling of slight burning and tingling. Skin-visceral reflexes improves trophic tissue (or zones of innervation).
