Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have a small jar of tiger balm that I have used off an on throughout the last few years. I used it on my shoulder and upper back when it hurt before I had my shoulder surgery. If I could find the darned little jar I would probably put some on my lower back and see how it feels. My mom uses peppermint oil and puts a damp, hot rag on it. Feels good! in NM --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've used Tiger Balm on myself and my husband. I was majorly sucked in by the name and packaging, but it works about like the other balms and ointments out there. I wish it came in a little bit bigger jars - theirs are so tiny. The WORST I've ever used was Capsasin, but that's because I didn't obey the directions when they said to use gloves to put it on. My hands BURNEDand sweated intermittenly for 2 or 3 days. It was INTENSE heat. I threw that rediculous crap in the garbage. The best I've used (so hubby says, because I use all these on HIM) is some kind of Blue Emu oil cream. If I buy cream for myself it's extra strength Flex-All. I want to buy this stuff my sister gets from her chiropractor - although I don't know what it's called. It comes in a spray bottle and the couple of times I used it, it worked well. Back to Tiger Balm....I guess they want people to think it is infused with or contains some tiny tiger parts or bits which are revered by Chinese culture with almost magical healing properties -- but very rare, expensive, difficult, if not dangerous to procure. Hence tiny jar, not tiny price. I am a sucker, I still think it's cool. I like the smell too. (yeah, I know I'm weird) I still keep a jar of Tiger Balm in my arsenal at all times...among other things. (BUT NO CAPSASIN) in Louisiana > > > In a message dated 2/6/2008 8:23:30 P.M.

No, I don't think it's that. It's like that " Tiger Milk " that you get at health food stores. Nobody thinks there's actually milk from tigers in it. I was born in the Year of the Tiger, but I don't have stripes. ;D The name implies the strength and daring of a tiger.
