About Linseed Oil

It contains powerful, rare natural antioxidants (lignans), omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. It is a popular oil in cosmetic manufacturing and to a lesser degree (but no less suitable), massage therapists and aroma therapists. Linseed oil is also well absorbed by the skin.
Indications for Linseed Oil

1.Lower Cholesterol:Flaxseed oil and other sources of omega-3 fatty acids may increase your level of HDL--what is commonly called "good" cholesterol--and can help lower LDL ("bad" cholesterol) levels.
2.Healthy Heart:One of the elements in flaxseed oil, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), can lower your risk of heart disease through a number of factors. ALA keeps your blood vessels healthy, keeps platelets from sticking together and may even prevent minor arrhythmias.

Mechanism of Action of Methyl salicylate

Methyl salicylate is a rubefacient. It produces reddening of the skin by dilatation of the blood vessel and gives a soothing feeling of warmth. It is also called as counterirritant because they produce their action by counter irritation. Irritation of the sensory nerve endings alters pain in the underlying muscle or joints that are served by the same nerves.

Mechanism of Action of Menthol

Menthol acts as a local anesthetic on the respiratory passageways and causing cough suppression. When Menthol is rubbed on the skin, it acts as a rubefacient and causes localized vasodilatation; which gives feelings of comfort and warmth. When applied gently on the skin, it acts as an anti-pruritic agent and creates a feeling of coolness, and mild local anaesthetic effect relieves itching. It has good soothing effect and acts as a demulcent. It also acts as a carminative.
