دلوك أو مروخ


Explanation:
Liniment (or embrocation), from the Latin linere, to anoint, is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin. Preparations of this type are also called balm. Liniments are of a similar viscosity to lotions (being significantly less viscous than an ointment or cream) but unlike a lotion a liniment is applied with friction; that is, a liniment is always rubbed in. Since it is an oil that has to be rubbed when applied on the skin, the translation should include this meaning and to put it in one word the perfect translation would be دلوك أو مروخ

Liniments are considered an oil

Example sentence(s):
  • Liniments are especially useful in hot weather to help a hot horse cool down: the alcohols help the product to quickly evaporate, and the oils they contain cause the capillaries in the skin to dilate, also increasing the cooling process.
