How to Use Biofreeze

Biofreeze contains Ilex and is a pain-relief and management product that comes in a variety of forms, including gel, roll-on and spray. Biofreeze is used by a variety of health care and recreation professionals, as well as by ultrasound techs. The gel comes in two forms: a small, squeezable bottle and a pump.

Things You'll Need

• Biofreeze

Instructions

1. Squeeze a dollop the size of a dime into your hand or pump a similar amount into your hand. Using a circular motion, massage the affected area with the Biofreeze and your hand. Apply more Biofreeze if necessary. The Biofreeze gel form is ideal to use with massage.

2. Unscrew the lid on the Biofreeze bottle, position the bottle over the affect area with the roll-on portion facing down to apply the Biofreeze roll-on form. Place the roll-on ball on the affected area and roll the ball across the skin. The area will appear shiny. Don't be afraid to massage the affected area after the Biofreeze is applied.

3. Position the spray portion of the bottle about 4 inches away from the affected area to apply the Biofreeze spray-on form. Spray the area with the Biofreeze until the affected area is damp. After applying the Biofreeze, you can massage the area.

4. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying Biofreeze. The affected area and your hands (or the hands of the person who applied the Biofreeze) will tingle. This is normal.

5. Apply Biofreeze every few hours when needed, up to four times a day.
