Is Arthryon safe to use?

Normal sensations vs warning signs

A warm, tingling sensation that builds over the first fifteen minutes is exactly what capsaicin and camphor are supposed to do. Mild redness in the area is also common and settles.

Stop using the cream and wash the area with soap and cool water if you get burning that feels painful rather than warm, a rash, blistering, swelling or hives. If irritation persists or you have any difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.

How to use it safely

• For external use only. Apply a thin layer to intact skin, up to three or four times a day.
• Never apply to broken, damaged, irritated or sunburned skin.
• Keep it away from eyes, mouth, nose and other mucous membranes. Wash your hands after applying unless you're treating your hands.
• Do not use with a heating pad, hot water bottle or tight bandage — trapped heat can cause burns.
• Do a patch test on a small area first if your skin is sensitive.

Who should check with a doctor first

• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Children — Arthryon is intended for adults.
• People with known allergies to capsaicin, chilli peppers, camphor, menthol, arnica or plants in the daisy family.
• People with reduced skin sensation, circulation problems, diabetes-related neuropathy or a skin condition affecting the area.
• Anyone already using another topical analgesic on the same area, or on medication where their doctor has advised caution with topicals.

How to apply Arthryon to the painful joint

Technique matters more than quantity. Warming creams work through the skin over the joint, so the goal is thin, well-massaged coverage of the skin over the joint rather than a thick layer sitting on the surface.

1. Wash and dry the skin over the joint. Clean, dry skin absorbs the cream evenly; lotion or sweat already on the skin slows it down.
2. Take A pea-sized amount — roughly the size of a large pea per area — onto your fingertips.
3. Massage it into the skin over the joint in slow circles for 30 to 60 seconds, until nothing is left sitting on the surface.
4. Wash your hands straight away, unless your hands are the area you are treating — in that case rinse only your palms and keep the cream on the joints.
5. Wait five to ten minutes before dressing so the warmth can build and clothing doesn't wipe the cream away.
6. Repeat up to three or four times a day, and no more than that in 24 hours.

Do not use a heating pad, tight bandage or hot bath over the area — combining external heat with a warming cream is the most common cause of skin irritation.
