Herbal Ointment
Pain-Relieving creams you can buy over the counter include salicylate for pain relief.
Creams are relatively easy to use unless you are salicylate-sensitive (also found in several ways in warts and dandruff treatments). However, they can be totally unnecessary according to a discovery made by some investigators from Pakistan.
The study was published in the Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences and showed that an herbal ointment made with cinnamon, ginger, gum arabic (putty), and sesame oil worked just as well as the salicylate creams for joint pain control topical.
