The following is a closer look at some of the natural ingredients that make Honeymark's Pain Relief Cream an effective, topical analgesic.

Honeymark International is a manufacturer of advanced skin care products that has developed a revolutionary formula of ingredients effective in relieving pain. Their Pain Relief Cream is a combination of ingredients that are extraordinarily effective in treating painful symptoms such as arthritis, strains, backaches, sprains, joint and muscle stiffness, etc. Below are some of the ingredients that make this product an effective pain management solution.

Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey is becoming a popular ingredient in treating arthritis pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties and curative capacity. It has the ability to minimize joint swelling and acts as a natural pain killer. Manuka Honey is derived from the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Tea Tree, native to New Zealand.

Camphor
Camphor is an ingredient that is used topically to relieve pain. It is absorbed through the skin, creating a cooling effect that acts as a slight local anesthetic. Camphor can be used externally to relieve arthritic pain, rheumatic pain, neuralgia and back pain. Camphor is found in the wood of the Camphor Laurel, which is a large evergreen tree found in Asia.

Menthol
Menthol stimulates the cold receptors in the skin, producing a natural cooling effect. It doesn't actually change the skin's temperature, but merely produces the sensation of a cooler temperature change. Menthol is used as a topical analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains such as muscle cramps, sprains, headaches and similar conditions. Menthol is an organic compound made from peppermint or other mint oils.

Emu oil
Emu Oil is used as a pain reliever for bone, muscle and joint disorders. It is a complete neutral lipid, since emu oil lacks phospholipid, making it highly penetrating to the skin. Emu oil is used as a natural analgesic and is effective in treating arthritis and other pains due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. Emu oil is an oil made from the refined fat of the emu which is a bird native to Australia.

Almond Oil
Almond oil is one of the least greasy oils. It has been traditionally used by massage therapists to lubricate the skin and is considered to be an effective emollient because of its ability to soften and soothe the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties making it effective in relieving muscle pain. Almond Oil is obtained from the dried kernel of the almond plant.

Arnica Extract
Extract of Arnica is an excellent first-aid for sprains. Arnica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties and is effective when used on bruises, strains, sprains & sore muscles. Arnica assists the normal healing processes by facilitating transport of blood and fluid accumulations through a dilating action of subcutaneous blood capillaries. This ingredient is the extract from the Arnica montana plant.

Balm Mint Extract
Balm mint extract is known for its soothing and toning properties and is made from the dried leaves of the balm mint plant.

Aloe Barbadensis Extract
Soothing and healing are the best chiral components of aloe. There are different components that account for its effectiveness. Mannose Phosphate is the healer, Hydroxy Chromone and Methyl Phytyl Chromanol are the antioxidants and Methyl Tocol is the anti-inflammatory compound.

Witch Hazel Extract
Witch hazel is used externally on sores, bruises and swelling. The astringent tannins in witch hazel tighten and soothe aching varicose veins and reduce inflammation in cases of phlebitis (an inflammation of a vein). Witch hazel also contains procyanadins, resin and flavonoids, all of which add to its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.

Plantain Extract
Plantain extract has a relaxing and inhibiting effect on aortic and portal smooth muscles.

"All of the ingredients combined in our Pain Relief Cream make it as effective as it is," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Topical analgesics that don't have the same ingredients will simply not be as effective."
