Product Review: Tiger Balm

One reason I am able to move this morning is Tiger Balm. To my mind, it is better than any other rub and one I save for really bad jobs. Part of this is that it is powerful, the other is the odor: People will know you are wearing it. You can find it at most good Oriental groceries and even at some pharmacies. Warning: activation is delayed and do NOT massage with it. For sore muscles and the like, it is very, very good.

roger that. I first heard about it from a retired SF'er who has a Thai wife. He told me she swore by Tiger Balm, that it could help damn near anything. So I bought some. I used it heavily when I sprained my ankle and should have went to the doctor but didn't. It's some good stuff, that's for sure.

There is a regular and Extra-Strong Tiger Balm...it can be painful if you confuse the two!

Also, the gardens in Singapore are supposedly the closest thing Asia has to American 1950's roadside religious kitsch...

Chap, you are so right on that. I used to have a jar of the extra, not sure where it is right now. That stuff can be "interesting" to put it mildly.
