There are two main categories of products for external application against musculoskeletal pain: those whose main therapeutic action is to relieve pain and those whose main therapeutic action is to accelerate the healing process. Kwan Loong oil falls into the first category. Its high concentration of active ingredients increases its effectiveness in relieving pain. This oil is very popular and sought after.
