The stress induced by coronavirus has led to people facing many kinds of physical and mental problems. Now, Devika Singh has reported in an article in moneycontrol.com that pain-relieving balms and related products such as Zandu and Menthoplus balm, Iodex and Amrutanjan are flying off the shelves as people are experiencing headaches and body pains. Most online sites display the "out of stock" sign when these items are searched.
In the article, Mohan Goenka, director of Emami is quoted as saying that "our growth in April 2021 was higher than what we witnessed in the corresponding period in the last two years." As sales are booming for such products, many existing players are planning new products and new players are likely to pitch in for a share of the pie. The market for topical analgesics is huge and creams and balms account for nearly 2/3rd of the total.
The reasons for this is not far to seek. Long hours before computer/laptop and multi-tasking, including household chores in the absence of house helps have all taken a huge toll on bodies. Then, depressing news in the media and the fear about getting infected also pitches in. It doesn't help that avenues to unwind are all shut down. In this situation. people have to first remain positive and must not allow mental stress to take hold. Then, they must exercise or practice yoga for at least twenty minutes to keep their bodies in shape. For these niggling pains take a long time to go away if nothing is done about them. Balms and creams are temporary solutions.
