hot

i have been using this for muscle pain. I find thst it depends on how much of the cream you apply to achieve a certain level of heat. apply liberally if you want a lot of heat. it gets messy and greasy. but it works. it buys me some time to get rid of the pain and sleep.

As far as feeling a significant difference in my muscle pain, I do not feel any. I play soccer at the university level so to say my muscles are usually sore is an understatement. Honestly it just feels nice to have a cream to massage the area.

i hated the smell. Was much to overpowering for me. I had to wash it off in a panic lol...
