Tiger Balm

So Tiger Balm.  It is the saviour of Thailand.  It is a balm that you rub on yourself.  There is nothing this stuff cannot heal.  From insect bites to flatulance.  Honestly!  Katy has been pushing Tiger Balm down our throats from before we got off the plane.  If Tiger Balm ever needed a sales rep Katy is their lady.  But seriously this stuff costs pennies, smells like vicks vapour rub and works a treat.  So far there is not a single person who has not used Tiger Balm.  Tiger Balm saves lives!  Watch this space for a new Facebook group. 

We think that the current chain of survival should be changed.  Scrap shout for "Help!" and instead shout for "Tiget Balm".  LOL

Here are a few facts, litterally copied and pasted from wikipedia.  Tiger Balm (traditional Chinese: 虎標萬金油; pinyin: hǔbiao wànjīnyóu) is the trade name for a heat rub manufactured and distributed by Haw Par Healthcare in Singapore. It was originally developed in the 1870s by a herbalist, Aw Chu Kin, in Rangoon, Burma, who asked his sons Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par on his deathbed to perfect the product.


Tiger Balm is available in several varieties, the weaker Tiger Balm White (which is recommended for use with headaches) and the stronger Tiger Balm Red (which is not to be used on the head).
