It is anti-inflammatory and a pain relief and instead of taking it
internally it is rubbed on - if I know I'm going to strain my feet
unreasonably, I'll put it on before the event - it means no pain during or
after (I have had arthritis in my big toe joint and bunions since I was 20).


In case of strains etc, where not feeling the pain can cause a worsening of
the damage, I put it on at night, where the anti-inflammatories will work,
but where I'm not putting a strain on the injury by moving too much.   

Of course you have to read the instructions so as not to take it if you have
an underlying health condition.
