Menthol’s ability to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling sensation it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin. Moreover, its analgesic properties are mediated through a selective activation of κ-opioid receptors. Additionally, menthol blocks calcium channels and voltage-sensitive sodium channels, reducing neural activity that may stimulate muscles.
