The Science Behind Rheum Therapeutics

Rheum Relief isn't built around a single ingredient. It combines three OTC topical analgesics (lidocaine, menthol and methyl salicylate) with terpenes and essential oils, chosen to work together for fast, cooling and warming relief of minor muscle and joint aches.

How Topical Relief Works

Relief Right Where You Apply It

Topical creams are applied directly to the skin, right over the area that aches, so you can target the spot where you feel discomfort.

The Science of Cooling, Warming & Distraction

Menthol and methyl salicylate are counterirritants. They create cooling and warming sensations on the skin that help take your mind off minor aches in sore muscles and joints.

A Symphony of Ingredients

Multi-Layered Approach to Relief

Rheum Relief combines three OTC active ingredients. Lidocaine 4% is a topical pain reliever. Menthol 1% provides a cooling sensation. Methyl salicylate 0.6% provides a warming sensation. Together they give layered topical relief for minor muscle and joint aches.

Built for Synergy, Not Just Strength

Each ingredient is included at its labeled strength and chosen to work well alongside the others, with terpenes and essential oils for a smooth, soothing feel.

Grounded in Both Science and Tradition

Lidocaine 4% is the maximum strength available over the counter. Menthol 1% gives an immediate cooling feel. Methyl salicylate 0.6% gives a gentle warming feel. A blend of terpenes and essential oils rounds out the formula.

Each Ingredient With a Purpose

Every ingredient in Rheum Relief was chosen by physicians for a specific purpose and combined in one easy-to-use cream.
