SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Menthol's exceptional cooling potency stems from its ec50 for trpm8 activation of approximately 10ฮผm (vs camphor's ec50 of ~5mm โ 500ร lower potency). this 500ร potency advantage explains why even tiny concentrations of menthol provide intense cooling, while much higher concentrations of camphor are required for equivalent sensation.
