That gooey red stuff that gives your skin a refreshing mint flavor! Mmmmm.

Tiger Balm is really good and I do like it. I also like White Flower Oil.

It works nicely, but I only use it in the very rare case where ordinary Sportscream doesn't do the job (Sportscream doesn't leave any strong smells, and is less greasy).
I'd have to whole-heartedly agree with the previous posters, that it is of critical importance to wash the hands thoroughly after applying, regardless of what substance is used. I made the mistake (once, and only once) of inserting my contact lenses after applying Tiger Balm to my aching hip, and rest assured, the burning of the eyes made the aching hip feel very, very trivial!
These days, after applying any of the rubs, I'll actually use Dawn dish detergent to wash my hands, since ordinary soaps aren't as effective. I hope these experiences can help others, as the burning in the eyes is something that still haunts me to this day, and something I wouldn't wish on almost anyone.

I haven't tried tiger balm. Does it have capsaicin in it, that hot pepper derivative? Tried a couple with that in it--burned something awful and was hard to wash off. Is it only for heat effect? I like sportscreme better too. No smell. TW

Good stuff! Can't live without it! White Flower Oil is just as good too!

I'll own up about forgetting to wash my hands.

I like it. The mint smell is so strong it seems to instantly clear up my sinuses too.

It has some natural menthol in it, it's tingly and penetrating but doesn't burn. Has a really strong pleasant menthol scent. It also stains your clothes.TigerWoman said:
