This is homeopathic meaning the amounts of those ingredients are thousands to a a millionth of a gram in content.
You cannot apply it over large areas either, according to the manufacturer.
In fact I don't know of any topical you can apply over large areas.
For burning feet, Biofreeze is very good. It is available on Amazon now (less money) and iherb.com for a bit more $$.
Also for pain in the feet, Lidoderm patches placed on the instep may work. This is RX only.
There are also compounded creams from compounding pharmacies that doctors order...that contain various recipes.
They may have gabapentin, ketamine, clonidine, amitriptyline, lidocaine, etc combined or with other ingredients too.
Deep aching may respond to NSAIDs taken orally. Or aspirin if you can tolerate it or your doctor approves. Aspirin is very effective but must be used carefully, because of bleeding potential. Of all the NSAIDs naproxen has the least affect on the heart, so is often the most commonly prescribed. But all NSAIDs carry risks.
There is another cream called Zonalon--it is mostly for itching, but
some people here have used it successfully on the feet for tingling etc.
Can't use all over the body either...it comes in a small tube to discourage this.
Sombra looks similar to Biofreeze. But I don't have personal experience with it. Biofreeze has been out for so long and has a
huge success rate therefore. Sombra has a boatload of other ingredients, which may or may not be useful.
