Liniment

Liniments are typically sold to relieve pain and stiffness, such as from sore muscles or arthritis. These are typically formulated from alcohol, acetone, or similar quickly evaporating solvents and contain counterirritant aromatic chemical compounds such as methyl salicilate, benzoin resin, or capsaicin. Liniments have been around since Antiquity. Opodeldoc is a formulation invented by the Renaissance physician Paracelsus.
