MENTHOLUMLiquid

Mentholum, derived from the essential oil of Mentha (Peppermint), is a homoeopathic medicine extracted from the juice of the plant, belonging to the Labiatae family. In homoeopathy, Menthol (Mentho) is recognized for its strong action on the mucous membranes of the naso-pharynx and spinal nerve plexus, where it produces effects such as neuritic pains, paraesthesias (tingling or numbness), and cooling sensations. It is especially beneficial in assisting acute respiratory catarrh, neuralgias, and pruritus, particularly pruritus vulvae.This medicine provides relief from headaches, nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and respiratory irritation, and also aids in managing muscular and spinal discomfort due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions.
