I have a sore muscle balm that I really like, but it is fairly expensive.
The active ingredients are camphor and menthol.    Camphor I have and know
where to get.  (well, white camphor, actually - is it the same?)

What is menthol derived from?   Are there easily obtainable substitutes that
would work just as well??

Thanks!
