Yes, it's similar in effect to ethyl chloride spray...and much different than Biofreeze.

We use it to numb injection site prior to administering the injection. In our practice we inject the joint, so the injection could hurt more than an intramuscular shot. I don't understand exactly what you are asking. Your question is unclear. It is not the treatment in itself. It is used in conjunction with treatment, at least where I work.

My manager at work noticed my back pain and told me about this product. She has arthritis in her hands and using the keyboard for extensive time periods can be difficult and painful. She uses the stream spray on her hands and is able to comfortably get back to work. She sent me to the women's room one day and sprayed my back - instant relief to my muscle pain. I wish it would last longer however it does take the edge off. I also use it on my knees (bone spurs/arthristis) and get relief from there as well for about an hour.

The active ingredients list on the roll-on bottle says it contains: herbal extract (ilex paraguariensis) I hope the spelling of that last word is correct - the print is so small I had difficulty making out the letters. If you've never used Biofreeze it is AMAZING stuff! Whether it's stiff muscles, arthritis and just plain old age aches and pains it works wonderfully! Calms nerves and muscle spasms AND restless legs and allows you to rest comfortably. I hope this has been helpful to you. Good Luck!

I just bought the individual packets. I LOVE BioFreeze. It works wonders for back pain - and I have lots of leg cramps and it will calm those right down. Sorry I can't give you more answers on the ingredients.

The relief of pain with biofreeze is awesome. I have herniated disks in my back and I can hardlystand the pain if it weren't for biofreeze. I put it on today before going to the movie

No. Ethyl chloride is a restricted product requiring a prescription. It is used for topical anesthesia for injections and for trigger point therapy ("spray and stretch"). This spray IS cold, but not as cold as ethyl chloride. It contains PENTAFLUOROPROPANE and TETRAFLUOROETHANE.

I have no idea as to what Perform is or does. Biofreeze works for me. That's good enough for me.

I was very disappointed; mine would not mix the water and MGrow properly and shaking it didn't help. The one I had years ago did work, but this one didn't. I bought the Miracle Gro liquid sprayer and it works perfectly. I'm sorry I hadn't tried this one before I reported on it, but I assumed it would work the same as the one I had before.

I can only say that when I first used Biofreeze in small packets on my shoulder it worked great. I have used it on my back and knees and didn't quite get the same result. An acquaintance of mine uses it all of the time and thinks it wonderful. I don't know that the inactive ingredients are but I would try the crème if I were you.

There is one that has Ilex and another Biofreeze that does not. The description of product (depending on the company you order from ) tells you which one is which. I believe I've seen both types available in the 32 oz. pump bottle. B. Bauer

I have been using Biofreeze for years and have kept in my tennis bag and drawer for months - I don't believe it has an expiration date and always works that same as when first opens- never has dried out - I have the spray and the roll on which are always ready to use -

We sprayed it in our a/c unit over a week ago. We have noticed a reduction in our allergy symptoms. Also,I would say yes since I read that it is put in foggers to clean the air & surfaces in hospitals.

All the information about ingredients is at the back. But I can confirm to you that this product is great, I was in a bad car accident few years ago, and was going to my chiropractic at least twice a year, I have now a wonderful and very professional Doctor, and he is using Biofreeze at his practice every day, and he recommended me to have one at home. My understanding that Biofreeze was even created by one doctor for his grandmother. Any way, I trust my wonderful doctor and got one, and it is great, with cool and heat effect, long lasting. So now I always have at home. I am not working for the person who selling it, just honestly like this product for my back pains, and it is easy for me to recommend it to others. Here is some info from the Biofreeze webpage: "Biofreeze was first introduced in 1991 by a healthcare practitioner that was searching for a way to help his grandmother manage her arthritis pain. Today, Biofreeze products provide relief to countless arthritis sufferers. But the pain reliever's unique, cooling formulation is also comforting to sore muscles and muscle sprains; easing back shoulder and neck pain; reducing painful ankle, knee, hip, and elbow joints and helping to lessen the effects of muscular strain." Main ingredient is Menthol. Active Ingredient: Menthol 3.5% Inactive Ingredients: Camphor (for scent), carbomer, FD&C blue #1, FD&C yellow #5, Glycerine, Herbal Extract (ILEX Paraguariensis), Isopropyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Silicon Dioxide, Triethanolamine, Water

This is what I found in looking for the answer to your question. Biofreeze uses an herb called Ilex. This herb is extracted from a holly plant in South America and then shipped to Pennsylvania to be made into Biofreeze. Ilex acts as an instant cold application and also helps the gel sink deeper through the skin's layers.http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4679702_biofreeze-work.html

I have only purchased the germ fighter oil.I have put it in a diffuser and put it in coconut oil to place on my neck and feet. As a family we all got through the flu and cold season with no sickness. I believe that germ fighter kept our immune system working!
