Zandu Gel

Zandu Gel is an Ayurvedic pain-relief gel, applied externally to soothe joint and muscle pain, stiffness and everyday aches, in a non-greasy, fast-absorbing gel form. From Zandu, a heritage Ayurvedic house. It is for external use only. Traditionally it is used to support:

• The soothing of joint and muscle pain, stiffness and minor sprains
• Comfort in back, neck and knee aches and sports strains
• A cooling, refreshing, fast-absorbing alternative to a balm

Zandu Gel is a cooling, pain-soothing blend of counter-irritants and herbs in a light gel base, typically including:

• Menthol and Camphor, cooling counter-irritants
• Gandhapura (wintergreen) oil and aromatic herbal oils
• Nirgundi and other soothing, anti-inflammatory herbs in a non-greasy gel

Together these cooling, soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients are traditionally valued to relieve joint and muscle pain through the skin, in a light, fast-absorbing gel.

Soothing joint and muscle pain is exactly what Zandu Gel is made for, traditionally used for back, neck and knee aches, stiff joints, minor sprains, sports strains and everyday muscle pain. Massaged in, the cooling counter-irritants quickly soothe the feeling of pain while the herbs help ease stiffness, all in a clean, non-greasy gel. It offers external supportive care; severe, persistent or worsening joint or muscle pain, a hot, swollen or injured joint, or any concerning symptom, should be assessed by a doctor, with the gel used alongside, not instead of, proper care.

Zandu Gel is for external use; apply it to the affected joint or muscle and massage in gently, two or three times daily, or as directed. A simple way to use it:

1. Apply to clean, intact skin over the painful area.
2. Massage in gently until absorbed; the gel is light and non-greasy.
3. Wash your hands afterwards, and avoid the eyes, mucous membranes and broken skin.

Patch test first if your skin is sensitive. For external use only, do not swallow.

Zandu Gel works by soothing pain locally through the skin. The menthol and camphor create a cooling counter-irritant sensation that eases the feeling of pain and refreshes the area, while the wintergreen and herbs help calm stiffness and discomfort, all delivered in a fast-absorbing gel. In Ayurveda, joint and muscle pain is linked to aggravated Vata, which this soothing application settles locally. As pain and stiffness ease, comfort and mobility are traditionally supported. This cooling, soothing, counter-irritant action is the basis of Zandu Gel, used as external supportive care.

Zandu Gel mainly settles aggravated Vata, the dosha Ayurveda links to joint and muscle pain, stiffness and cracking, through its soothing herbs, while the cooling menthol and camphor also ease Pitta-related heat and inflammation in a strained area. Joint and muscle aches are classically tied to aggravated Vata settling locally, which the gel soothes. By calming Vata, cooling inflammation and easing tension, it supports local comfort and mobility. This makes it well suited to achy, stiff, strained joint-and-muscle tendencies, used as external supportive care.

Both are external Zandu pain-relief products with similar soothing, counter-irritant ingredients; the difference is the form and feel. Zandu Gel is a light, cooling, non-greasy, fast-absorbing gel, pleasant for daytime use and when you dislike an oily feel, while Zandu Balm is a richer, warming, aromatic balm classic for headaches and aches. So choose the gel for a clean, cooling feel on joints and muscles, and the balm for a warming rub or for headaches. Both are external supportive care; pick whichever texture and sensation you prefer.

Zandu Gel is generally well tolerated as an external pain-relief gel, but a few points apply:

• It is for external use only; never swallow it, and keep it away from the eyes, mucous membranes and broken skin.
• Patch test first if your skin is sensitive, and discontinue if irritation occurs; do not apply a tight bandage over it.
• It is supportive care; severe, persistent or worsening pain, or a hot, swollen or injured joint, should be assessed by a doctor.
• In pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for young children, use it only on advice.

It is an external supportive-care product and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
