Dr. Ortho Oil is an Ayurvedic herbal oil manufactured by SBS Biotech that is marketed for relieving joint and muscle pain. It is a topical treatment made from a blend of medicinal oils derived from herbs known for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The product is widely available online and in health stores, particularly in India and Pakistan. 

Key ingredients:

The specific herbs can vary between different versions of the oil (e.g., standard vs. "Strong"), but common ingredients include: 
Gandhpura Oil (Wintergreen oil): Contains methyl salicylate, which provides anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
Pudina Oil (Peppermint oil): Offers a cooling sensation and has analgesic properties.
Kapoor Oil (Camphor): Known for its pain-relieving properties and for stimulating blood circulation.
Alsi Oil (Flaxseed oil): Contains anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.
Cheed Oil (Pine oil): Helps to soothe aching joints and relieve pain.
Nirgundi Oil: Traditionally used to reduce swelling and inflammation in joints.
Til Oil (Sesame oil): A base oil often used in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties.

How it is used:

Application: Massage a small amount of the oil gently onto the affected area, such as the back, neck, shoulders, knees, or other joints.
Frequency: The oil is typically applied twice a day for best results.
Precautions: It is intended for external use only. Avoid applying the oil to open wounds, cuts, or damaged skin. 

Benefits and effectiveness:

According to the manufacturer and some clinical studies, Dr. Ortho Oil may offer the following benefits:
Pain relief: Helps to ease various types of pain, including joint discomfort, muscle soreness, and back pain.
Reduces inflammation: Some ingredients, like Gandhpura and Alsi oil, possess anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling.
Improves mobility: By reducing stiffness and pain, regular use can help improve flexibility and range of motion.
Ayurvedic formulation: The blend of natural herbs aims to provide pain relief without the harsh side effects often associated with synthetic products. 

Important considerations:

Ayurvedic remedy: While Ayurvedic medicine has been used for centuries, its effectiveness is based on traditional practice, not on the same rigorous scientific standards as conventional medicine.
Clinical study results: An open-label, non-randomized study found that Dr. Ortho oil helped reduce joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation over 30 days of use. However, more extensive, independent research is needed to validate its long-term effectiveness and compare it with other pain treatments.
Allergic reactions: Although generally considered safe for external use, a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with sensitive skin. In one study, a participant withdrew due to an allergic reaction.
Medical advice: Always consult a healthcare professional before using any new pain relief treatment, particularly if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
