No Pain Spray Ingredients

NoPainSpray.com is a website that promotes a homeopathic oral spray called, "Dr. Frank's Joint & Muscle Pain Relief," which was formulated and produced by Kenneth J. Frank, M.D. Although a family physician, Dr. Frank's focus is on homeopathic and other natural substances that relieve pain. According to MedTerms.com, homeopathy is a system of therapy, invented by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, based on minute doses of plant and mineral compounds that produce the same symptoms as a disease process and energetically eliminate them. Dr. Frank's oral spray contains 10 equal-part homeopathic preparations and some non-medicinal ingredients.

Homeopathic Ingredients Diluted 6X

Homeopathic tinctures are always diluted, and X denotes being diluted by a factor of 10. Thus, 6X means a dilution of six times a factor of 10, such that the final tincture is 0.000001 times the original concentration, or ten millionths the concentration of the original formula. According to his own site, Dr. Frank's Joint & Muscle Pain Relief oral spray contains five compounds that are diluted to 6X.
