When combined in a single topical ointment, these ingredients may be able to work as a home remedy for arthritis.

This ingredient is one of the main items included in the Rawleigh product.

Another ingredient that may give this product potential as a home remedy for arthritis is clove oil. While wintergreen oil helps healing and reduces inflammation around the joints, clove oil can reduce pain. This oil’s analgesic properties have been harnessed by the dentistry field for hundreds of years. The oil can be applied topically to gums to relieve pain quickly. When used as part of a topically to treat arthritis, oil of cloves can also provide temporary pain relief.

Besides these ingredients, the Rawleigh product also contains peppermint oil which is sometimes referred to as the oldest medicine in the world because it has been so commonly used for so long and cajuput oil which is used to treat sore muscles in much the same way as wintergreen oil. The combination of all these ingredients may prove effective as a home remedy for arthritis.

While over-the-counter oral analgesics can provide some relief from the joint pain caused by arthritis, combining their effects with a reliable topical treatment may provide greater relief for sufferers. Plus, there are fewer side effects to worry about.
