Use of "and so"
An old television commercial for Anacin used the phrase,
"Relieves headache pain and so its tension".
The commercial aired in 1972.
I can't recall hearing the word "so" used in this way. Is this a correct but outdated use?
Is the word "so" supposed to mean "also" or "therefore"?

Headaches are caused by several elements: environmental likes chemical fume, noise, polluted air,physical illness, work , anxiety and stress etc. The last three in an any order can cause tension which trigger headsaches.
So the commercial basically said: It relieves
