How it works?
- Pain happens when your receptors found in the skin send a signal throughout the body, to the spinal cord before being sent to your brain. Cold sensations stimulate receptors to override those signals to relieve pain according to the gate control theory.
- The fast acting*, scientifically proven cooling formula of Biofreeze provides a long-lasting sensation on application, helping to ease your pain.

PAIN SIGNALS BECOME BLOCKED BEFORE REACHING THE BRAIN
BIOFREEZE PRODUCES A COLD SENSATION OVERRIDING THE PAIN SIGNALS
