This compound found naturally in wintergreen plants is used topically as a counterirritant to relieve minor muscle and joint pain by creating a warming sensation that distracts from deeper pain and mildly increases blood flow to the area. It is a common ingredient in muscle rubs and liniments, but must be used carefully as it can be toxic if absorbed through the skin in large amounts.
