Celadrin - A natural for pain relief

I deal with Osteoarthritis in my knee as well as Fibromyalgia (an illness that I can only explain as an all-over pain in the body - experience) and I tend to get Migraine headaches as well as Cluster headaches.

A few months ago my Doctor handed me a little packet that contained Celadrin in the form of a topical cream.The active ingredient is: Menthol (1.25%) a Topical Analgesic.The cream includesInactive ingredients such as a blend of esterified fatty acid complex (EFAC), Glycerin, Lecethin, Olive fruit oil, Peppermint Oil, Potassium Hydroxide and water.

I tend to question the effectiveness of 'natural' products because a number of the ones I have tried have had little or no effect and didn't result in the solutions I required.Until now.Celadrin in its cream form has not only been effective, it has been fast and long lasting.It's also available in pill form and a number of places sell it via the Internet.

The sample I received holds a very small amount, roughly 1-2 oz. but when I've had pain, rubbing just a small amount, much less than dime size, into the area, has brought relief from the pain in about 2 minutes or less.I've used it for headaches, neck pain, knee pain and even sinus pain from allergies.The cream goes on smoothly, not greasy and leaves a cool refreshing sensation on the skin.It attacks the pain and eliminates it effectively and with a long lasting result that allows me to function clearly and without any drug consumption, which I really like.

For anyone who is seeking an alternative to headache or athritis medications, I believe Celadrin is an excellent alternative and I would highly recommend it.

Update On Jun 11, 2008: Wow, I had such a wicked headache when I woke this a.m., a combination of caffiene withdrawal (over 12 hrs without one cup of coffee) :) and allergies.I almost forgot about the Celadrin until half way through a cup of Joe to try and right myself, the little packet fell at my feet (it was were it could easily have done this so no, no miracle there).Rubbed just a few tack head sized amounts on the temples, forehead and back of the neck and decided to try and think through the pain by viewing some reviews...before I knew it...gone!Honestly, this stuff is wonderful and now I know it even works on my addictive caffiene headaches but that doesn't mean I'm gonna give the stuff up just yet!
