shexiang chifeng pain relief ointment

Shexiang Chifeng pain relief ointment is a topical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation used for the relief of pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and muscle strains. The ointment typically contains a combination of active ingredients such as artificial musk, methyl salicylate, menthol, and camphor. These components provide analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects through local absorption; methyl salicylate acts as a counter-irritant and salicylate-based analgesic, while menthol and camphor provide cooling and soothing sensations by modulating sensory nerve receptors. In clinical studies, such as those conducted at Jiangsu Shengze Hospital, it has been evaluated as an adjunct therapy to standard treatments like diclofenac and ultra-short wave therapy to enhance pain management and improve joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
