Camphor (kapur)
Camphor is the classic ingredient of Indian pain balms. In ArthaFix it gives the warm-and-cool feel that follows the first touch of menthol.

ArthaFix is an Ayurvedic balm from Herbax Ayurveda that you massage into the knee, lower back, neck or shoulder where it aches. Menthol and camphor give a cool sensation within minutes, and the base carries boswellia and aloe vera. A 100 g tube costs ₹2,490, and you pay when the parcel reaches you.
What is ArthaFix balm used for?
ArthaFix is a topical Ayurvedic balm in a 100 g tube, used on aching joints and tired muscles: knees, lower back, neck, shoulders, wrists and ankles. Its core ingredients are camphor, menthol, Boswellia serrata and aloe vera gel. You rub a small amount into the sore area one to three times a day until it is absorbed.
ArthaFix suits pain you can point to with one finger, such as the inside of the knee after a long day standing or a stiff neck after hours at a screen. The balm works where you apply it, on the skin and the muscle underneath. It is for external use only.
How does ArthaFix work on the skin?
ArthaFix works as a counter-irritant balm. Menthol and camphor switch on the temperature sensors in your skin, and those signals compete with the ache from the joint or muscle below. The massage you give while rubbing it in loosens the muscle around the joint.
- First minute
Menthol cools
The menthol in ArthaFix activates TRPM8, the skin's cold receptor. The area feels cool almost at once, and the brain pays attention to that cool before the ache.
- Minutes 2–10
Camphor warms and numbs
Camphor acts on the TRPV1 and TRPV3 receptors, giving a mix of warmth and cool followed by a light numb feeling over the knee or shoulder.
- During the massage
Boswellia and plant oils
Boswellia serrata resin contains boswellic acids that block the 5-LOX enzyme of inflammation; taken by mouth, it eased knee osteoarthritis symptoms in a 2003 trial. In ArthaFix it is part of the Ayurvedic balm base, alongside eucalyptus, rosemary and deodar oils.
- Every application
Aloe keeps skin soft
Aloe vera gel moisturises the skin, so rubbing ArthaFix in two or three times a day does not leave it dry or tight.
ArthaFix ingredients: camphor, menthol, boswellia and aloe
The brand lists four core ingredients in ArthaFix: camphor, menthol, Boswellia serrata and aloe vera gel. The ArthaFix sales page adds eucalyptus oil, wintergreen oil, rosemary oil and deodar oil, and describes the balm as free of parabens and steroids. No concentrations are published.
Menthol (pudina satva)
Menthol produces the cool sensation you notice first. It is what makes ArthaFix a cooling balm.
Boswellia serrata (shallaki)
Shallaki resin is a staple of Ayurvedic joint formulas, valued for its boswellic acids.
Aloe vera gel
Aloe vera moisturises and soothes the skin that you massage several times a day.
Eucalyptus, wintergreen, rosemary and deodar oils
These oils give ArthaFix its sharp herbal smell. Wintergreen oil is natural methyl salicylate, which matters if you are allergic to aspirin.
How to apply ArthaFix balm
Apply a small amount of ArthaFix one to three times a day and massage it lightly until it is completely absorbed, as the tube directs. Wash your hands afterwards. The operator can confirm how long to keep using it when calling you.
Clean, dry skin
Wash and dry the area first. Do not apply ArthaFix on cuts, scrapes or broken skin.
A small amount
About the size of a pea covers one knee. Spread it with your palm.
Light massage
Rub in slow circles for one to two minutes, until no balm is left on the skin.
One to three times a day
Morning, after work, and before bed if the ache keeps you awake.
Wash your hands
Menthol and camphor sting the eyes. Wash with soap and water straight after applying.

ArthaFix reviews: genuine or a scam?
With ArthaFix, the first thing people notice is the cool rush of menthol, then a mild warmth from camphor, a few minutes after rubbing it in. A useful review says where the balm was used, how many times a day and for how many days.
Treat review pages that show only five-star ratings, or claim thousands of cured customers, as advertising. No warning from CDSCO, AYUSH or FSSAI about ArthaFix turned up in our search in September 2026. The balm is made under the Herbax Ayurveda name, based in Thane, Maharashtra, and its core ingredients are public.
Ignore any advert with a doctor's story or a promise that ArthaFix cures arthritis. The genuine tube says 'HERBAX AYURVEDA' and 'ArthaFix' and holds 100 gm. You pay only after the courier hands it over. ArthaCare Oil from the same brand is a different product, an oil rather than a balm.
ArthaFix side effects and who should avoid it
ArthaFix is for external use on healthy skin only. Do not use it if you are sensitive to menthol, camphor, essential oils or salicylates, and keep it away from children.
- Broken, irritated or freshly waxed skin: do not apply.
- Eyes, lips and inner nose: keep the balm away.
- Children: keep the tube out of reach; camphor is toxic if swallowed.
- Allergy to menthol, essential oils or aspirin: do not use, as wintergreen oil is a salicylate.
- No hot water bottle or tight bandage over the balm.
- Burning, redness or itching: wash off with soap and water and stop using it.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, warfarin or other blood thinners, or a hot, swollen joint: speak to a doctor before using ArthaFix.
ArthaFix questions
Is ArthaFix a cream or a balm?
ArthaFix is sold as a balm by Herbax Ayurveda, and some adverts call it a cream. It is the same product: a 100 g tube that you rub into the skin over an aching joint or muscle. It absorbs with a light massage of one to two minutes and leaves a cool, herbal feel.
How many times a day can I use ArthaFix?
Use ArthaFix one to three times a day, as the tube directs: a small amount massaged lightly into the sore area until it is fully absorbed. A pea-sized amount is enough for one knee. Wash your hands after each application, because menthol and camphor sting if they reach the eyes.
Does ArthaFix contain steroids?
ArthaFix is described by its seller as free of steroids and parabens. Its core ingredients are camphor, menthol, Boswellia serrata and aloe vera gel, with eucalyptus, wintergreen, rosemary and deodar oils. The cool and warm feel comes from menthol and camphor, not from any hormone.
Can I use ArthaFix with pain tablets?
ArthaFix works on the skin where you rub it, while a tablet works from inside, so many people use both. The exception is blood thinners such as warfarin and an aspirin allergy: ArthaFix contains wintergreen oil, a salicylate. If either applies to you, read the ArthaFix side effects first.
How do I pay for ArthaFix and when will it arrive?
You pay for ArthaFix when the courier delivers it: ₹2,490 a tube. Nothing is charged when you send the form. Before dispatch, the operator calls to confirm your address, PIN code and number of tubes, and tells you the delivery time for your city and how payment works.
