Icy Hot and its uses

Whether you are moving around at the office, playing a sport on the weekends, or getting active during a vacation, you are occasionally met with backaches or sprains. Or perhaps you suffer from arthritis and fibromyalgia and have chronic lower back pain. While Icy Hot might not make the pain go away, it can make it more bearable. And, Icy Hot is also covered by a healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Icy Hot patches are designed to relieve muscle aches, tension points, stiffness, joint pain and arthritis from the neck down. They cause a cooling sensation followed by a warming sensation, which distract you from the pain by blocking pain signals sent to the brain. The cooling sensation dulls the pain, while the warming sensation relaxes it away. These flexible patches are breathable, so you don't have to worry about them getting sweaty especially in hot temperatures.

FSAstore.com carries a variety of Icy Hot products, and with the passage of the CARES Act in March 2020, many of the creams, gels, and pads offered by IcyHot are now eligible as over-the-counter medicines for FSA reimbursement as they help with particular medical conditions.

Here are 2 FSA eligible Icy Hot items that are a smart buy with your tax-free dollars.
