Fragrance

Menastil smells really good! I love it when someone in the house walks by, and you can smell that they just applied some. You kinda want to say, "Hmmmm. you smell good!" But , of course, you refrain, and instead say,"Oh, I smell Menastil, are you feeling OK?"
It has such a pleasant odor of mint. I love it!
Now, I hear that the peppermint essential oil was added largely to cover up the fragrance of the active ingredients: supposedly they don't smell very appealing.
The active ingredients are derived from calendula oil. In a special procedure, some specific molecules are extracted from the calendula oil and these are the ingredients that make Menastil do what it does. It penetrates the skin and relaxes the nerve cells. When these are relaxed, they no longer communicate the "pain message" and thus the brain is no longer aware of the pain. Ta-da!
