Ralgex
Ralgex is a brand of topical analgesic that is used to relieve minor aches and pains of the muscles and joints. It is a type of counterirritant, which works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the aches/pains deeper in your muscles, joints, and tendons.
