advice

Musculoskeletal pain is numerous and can have different causes, such as sports trauma. Cramps, body aches, elongation. What to do in case of muscle pain?
Muscle pain can usually be combated by taking painkillers, such as paracetamol, applying an ointment, or treating pain with cryotherapy (cold treatment) and heat therapy (hot treatment).

The different virtues of cold are :

• Anti-inflammatory: This action can only take place if a thermal shock occurs. The more rapid this reaction over time, the more interesting the anti-inflammatory action.
• Analgesics and analgesics: The cold has the consequence of slowing down the conduction of nervous messages and reducing the sensitivity of nociceptors (pain receptors).

The virtues of warmth are :

• Vasomotricity: more particularly vasodilation when the body temperature increases. The arrival of blood promotes the supply of oxygen, nutrients and proteins, thus promoting cellular healing and therefore better muscle recovery.
• Analgesic: both heat and cold inhibit the sensitivity of pain receptors.
• The increase in the extensibility of the collagen tissue which allows a relaxation of the muscle fibers.
• A decrease in muscle spasms which results in a decrease in muscle contractures.

antecedent
Affection healed or always in evolution. The antecedent may be personal or family. The background is the history of a person's health.


convulsions
Involuntary contractions limited to a few muscles or generalized to the whole body. They are due to excessive pain or stimulation of the brain: fever, poisoning, lack of oxygen, brain damage. Convulsions may be due to an epileptic seizure or high fever in young children.


eczema
Skin disease manifested by pimples and itching. Eczema may be due to contact with an allergic substance (contact eczema) or be linked to a genetic predisposition (atopic eczema).


epilepsy
A chronic seizure disorder associated with abnormal electrical activity of a group of brain cells. Its manifestations, varying in intensity, range from the sudden drop in attention (absences, or small evil) to loss of consciousness accompanied by abnormal muscle movements (convulsions, or great evil). Partial epilepsy, as its name implies, does not concern the whole body: the jerky movements only touch one or more muscle groups.

Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.

A family of drugs, the best known of which is acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

The most used are camphor, menthol, eucalyptol, essential oils of mint, turpentine, niaouli, pine, anise, etc.
Some terpenes, and especially camphor, have been responsible for convulsions, respiratory pauses in the infant, in case of overdose. They can also cause behavioral problems in the elderly. These products should be used with caution at the extreme ages of life.
