Link Natural Musclegard Herbal Cream is a topical Ayurvedic preparation made by Link Natural Products, a Sri Lankan manufacturer with roots going back to 1982. The cream draws on a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, brought into production using contemporary manufacturing processes. It comes in a 25 g tube with a cap, presented inside a folding carton box, and is intended solely for external use on the skin.
The formula brings together twenty-four botanicals, each identified by its Sinhala name on the packaging. They include Undu (Vigna mungo), Vadakaha (Acorus calamus), Beli (Aegle marmelos), Aratta (Alpinia galanga), Hatawariya (Asparagus racemosus), Dewadara (Cedrus deodara), Welmee (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Atdemata (Gmelina arborea), Iramusu (Hemidesmus indicus), Wanduru ma (Mucuna pruriens), Totila (Oroxylum indicum), Siviya (Piper chavya), Tippili (Piper longum), Ratnetul (Plumbago indica), Midi (Premna integrifolia), Erandu (Ricinus communis), Welmadata (Rubia cordifolia), Palol (Stereospermum suaveolens), Karabuneti (Syzygium aromaticum), Rasakinda (Tinospora cordifolia), Heenneranchi (Tribulus terrestris), Amukkara (Withania somnifera), Inguru (Zingiber officinale), and Gammiris (Piper nigrum). This is the complete ingredient list as declared on the physical packaging.
To use the cream, apply a sufficient quantity to the affected area and massage it in. Where bruising is present, the packaging advises massaging gently. The manufacturer recommends applying the cream several times throughout the day for best results.
The cream is for external use only. It should be kept away from children, kept clear of the eyes, and stored in a cool, dry place with the tube closed between applications. The tube format makes it straightforward to dispense a controlled amount each time.
Link Natural Products manufactures the cream at its factory in Malinda, Kapugoda, Sri Lanka, and the company is registered with the Sri Lanka Export Development Board. The labelling appears in both English and Sinhala, reflecting the product's domestic Sri Lankan origins and its availability to an international audience.
