Fighter Fix is an herbal liniment made from botanical products from Thailand. Its main active ingredients are known to reduce inflammation and aid in blood circulation,[1] especially plai oil which has been studied in the US and Japan for its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties.[2] It has been widely praised for its pleasant aroma and lack of contact burn that most other liniments possess.

Uses

Zingiber cassumunar (an active ingredient in Fighter Fix) reduces inflammation and increasing circulation[3] and exhibits antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, dermatophytes and yeasts.[4] Fighter Fix also aids in maintaining consistency in training and strenuous activity by helping eliminate or reduce nagging aches and pains. Fighter Fix is used by athletes, massage therapists and physical therapists.
