Camphor Menthol Rub Price in Bangladesh

This shelf holds rubs and creams that ease pain or a stuffy nose through the skin. Camphor and menthol ointments, scented with clove and eucalyptus oil, go on the chest for a blocked nose or on stiff muscles for aches. Capsaicin cream, made from chilli pepper, is a different treatment, used over weeks for nerve or joint pain. A few unrelated skin products are filed here too.

Topical Analgesics, Topical Anti-Inflammatory sits under Topical Analgesics.

How Camphor, Menthol and Capsaicin Work

Menthol triggers the skin’s cold sensors and camphor its warmth sensors, and those sensations crowd out pain signals and give the feeling of clearer airways, though neither actually opens the nose. Capsaicin stings at first, then drains a pain messenger called substance P from the nerve endings, so the ache dulls after a few weeks of regular use.

How to Use a Chest or Muscle Rub

• Rub a thin layer on the chest, throat or back, or over the aching muscle, then wash hands.
• Never put it inside the nostrils, in the mouth or on broken skin.
• Do not heat the ointment or stir it into hot water for steaming; spills and camphor vapour have caused burns and poisoning.
• With capsaicin, wear gloves or scrub hands well afterwards, as a trace in the eye burns badly.

Safety with Camphor Rubs

Camphor is poisonous when swallowed, and a small lick can bring on seizures in a child, so close the tin firmly and store it on a high shelf. Rubs are not for babies under two. A swallowed rub, a seizure or trouble breathing needs emergency care at once. A cough lasting more than three weeks, a high fever or wheezing needs a doctor rather than another layer of rub.

Camphor Menthol Rub Price in Bangladesh

Tin or jar size sets most of the price of a rub, while capsaicin cream is priced by the tube. The clove oil in these rubs is the same eugenol-rich oil that families across South Asia have long dabbed on an aching tooth.
