Hi everyone ,I was given a tiny tin of tiger balm by a lovely shopkeeper. I was advised to rub this on my temples (be careful not to go near your eyes like I did! at first).
It is supposed to relax you & aid sleep. I am totally sleep deprived so was worth trying and no horrid side effects to concern myself about .Guess what ? It is actually helping .
Thanks for that will try tonight.
I hope it works for you .its not a miracle but am falling asleep and much more relaxed .Good luck x
Thanks hopefully help with headaches too as at my temples. Let you know tomorrow.
Yes ,please do
I’m going to buy some. I’ll try anything atm. Thanks Hun xx
That's what I thought too. The lovely Chinese shopkeeper swears by it and it is not yet another tablet to make me sick. It smells so lovely too .x
Exactly Hun, i’m already taking enough tablets to make rattle when I walk so it
Sorry sent it before I’d finish it 🤔🤪😂. So it’s good that I don’t need to take this for a change. Do you know if it’s safe to use with medication though? Sorry, I just wanted to check that before I bought some xx
Can you ask the pharmacist where your meds are dispensed? They'll have a full list of what you have, and you can get a list of Tiger Balm's ingredients online. Putting the two together will allow the pharmacist to see if there could be any problems. ( I don't think there will be as it just uses natural stuff, but I'm no expert !)
Good idea. Thanks again lovely. Enjoy your day xx🤗
Many thanks and hope it works for you as well.
That's what I thought too , and the so called tablets they have prescribed me make me so ill and this is just an ointment with a lovely relaxing smell .
Although logically I can't see what could interact and cause a problem, you do get odd things. People who take statins can't drink grapefruit juice as they don't interact well together.
I find my local pharmacist is more knowledgeable ( and a lot more helpful ) than my GP.
