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.
