Moov Cream

Moov is a popular brand of topical pain relief products in India, available in the form of a cream, ointment, and spray. It is widely used for providing quick and effective relief from various types of musculoskeletal pain.

Key Ingredients and How They Work

Moov's formulation is a blend of traditional herbal and active ingredients that create a warming sensation to soothe and relieve pain. The primary ingredients commonly found in Moov products include:

• Wintergreen Oil (Gaultheria fragrantissima): A natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. Its active component, methyl salicylate, is similar to aspirin and provides a soothing, pain-relieving effect.

• Eucalyptus Oil (Nilgiri Tel): Known for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contributes to the warming and soothing sensation.

• Turpentine Oil (Tarpin ka Tel): Used as a counter-irritant that helps to draw blood to the affected area, promoting a warming sensation that can help relieve muscle stiffness and pain.

• Mint Extract (Pudina ka Phool): Provides a cooling effect initially and then contributes to the overall soothing sensation.

Some variants, such as Moov STRONG, may also contain Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that targets the source of pain and inflammation more directly.

Uses

Moov cream is commonly used to treat:

• Muscle pain and stiffness: From activities like sports, exercise, or everyday chores.

• Backache and neck pain: Often caused by poor posture or muscle strain.

• Joint pain: Including pain in the knee, ankle, or shoulder.

• Sprains and strains: Helps to reduce inflammation and pain from minor injuries.

• Other conditions: Such as myositis, fibrositis, and sciatica.

How to Use

• External use only: Apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area.

• Gentle massage: Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is absorbed.

Potential Side Effects

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as:

• Skin redness or irritation at the application site
