Diclofenac and Capsaicin work by inhibiting the factors that cause inflammation and pain called prostaglandins. Linseed oil helps in minimizing skin irritation soothes and calms the skin. Menthol acts by acting as an irritant and imparts coolness to the skin and then warmth. Methyl Salicylate acts by dilating the blood vessels and increasing blood flow.
