Does Freeze It Relieve Muscle & Joint Pain?
Not often do I get an opportunity to try a product listed in PayPerPost. I mean, it’s one thing to sample the services provided by a web-based service (i.e. student loan consolidation information, web hosting); but when I receive a product in the mail asking me to give it a try, I couldn’t resist.
On Monday, I received two samples of Freeze It, which is an all-natural topical pain relief gel. All-natural? What’s in this stuff?
- Aloe
- Vitamin E
- ILEX, an herbal extract from a South American holly shrub. ILEX is used around
the world in various health & wellness formulations. Helps to enhance the effects of the pain relief ingredients. - 3.5% menthol - Pain Reliever
- .2% camphor - Pain Reliever
The enclosed pamphlet also claims that Freeze It is “greaseless, stainless, and no lingering odor”. Anything with menthol has a lingering odor…or at least that’s what I thought.

Regardless, I thought I’d give this stuff a try. Considering I’ve had a number of products rubbed on my back and knees throughout high school and college — and post collegiate “ol’ fuhtbawl injury” rehab for a degenerative disk in my lower back — this might relieve my lower back pain. I volunteered a friend to act as masseuse. She can attest to the three claims above, and my eyes didn’t burn as if I just swallowed a large glob of wasabi.
The herniated disk in my back is not too severe. But it does cause pain to shoot into my hip right where my waistline and buttock meet. The pain relief lasted about an hour before the effects wore off. However, I say that loosely. The pain didn’t come back full force. And I was able to fall asleep before I could start experiencing any discomfort. I’d say this was a viable alternative to a few Aleve and a glass of water…and many other pain relievers on the market. And it’s relatively inexpensive. This stuff gets a thumbs up from me; I’ll be using it again soon.

Nice review.
I bought a tube of Freeze It a couple of months ago to help with wrist pain. I rub it on then tape my wrists before going to lift weights and the stuff works nicely. Also, it doesn’t stink up the joint like some of the other muscle rubs.
Continued success!
