I thought it was just a painkiller.
But read this 'analgesic balm spread lavishly there in someon's underpants' from Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. Is this a joke?
otch, it ain't a pill. It's like that crappy goop you put on aching teeth. ok, I get it now I think.
Analgesic Balm is often a mixture of camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate. The salicylate is similar to Aspirin, and if too much quantity is used, it can be harmful.
Examples of analgesic balms are "Tiger Balm", "IcyHot", "Ben Gay", etc...
An analgesic (also known as a painkiller ) is any member of the diverse group of drugs used to relieve pain. The word analgesic derives from Greek an ( without ) and algos ( pain ). Analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral and central nervous systems; they include paracetamol, the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as the salicylates, narcotic drugs such as morphine, synthetic drugs with narcotic properties such as tramadol, and various others. In choosing analgesics, the severity and response to other medication determines the choice of agent; the WHO pain ladder, originally developed in cancer related pain, is widely applied to find suitable drugs in a stepwise manner. The analgesic choice is also determined by the type of pain: for neuropathic pain, traditional analgesics are less effective, and there is often benefit from classes of drugs that are not normally considered analgesics, such as tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Analgesic nephropathy is injury to the kidney caused by analgesic medications such as aspirin, phenacetin, and paracetamol. The term usually refers to damage induced by excessive use of combinations of these medications, especially combinations that include phenacetin. It may also be used to describe kidney injury from any single analgesic medication. The specific kidney injuries induced by analgesics are renal papillary necrosis and chronic interstitial nephritis. They appear to result from decreased blood flow to the kidney, rapid consumption of antioxidants, and subsequent oxidative damage to the kidney. This kidney damage may lead to progressive chronic renal failure, abnormal urinalysis results, high blood pressure, and anemia. A small proportion of individuals with analgesic nephropathy may develop endstage kidney disease.

Does anyone use Tiger Balm (or similar product) for headaches?
Has NE1 had any luck with the use of a topical analgesic product like Tiger Balm for migraines or other various types of headaches? I am particularly interested in its use for headaches due to stress, eyestrain, dehydration or from lack of (quality) sleep.
I have had some moderate success when I apply it under my nostrils, at my temples, across the forehead and between the eyebrows.
Does NE1 know of any Acupoints (accupuncture) points for the various types of headaches that I've described?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Acupuncture_point
For lack of sleep: Heart 3 (With the elbow flexed, at the medial end of the transverse cubital crease [elbow])
For eyestrain: Bladder 2 (put your finger on the side of your nose, and move it up until you hit the eyebrow. That place where you feel pressure, that's BL2)
For migraines: Stomach 8 (At the corner of the forehead, 0.5 cun posterior to the anterior hairline, 4.5 cun lateral to the anterior midline) [What that means is take your hand and line up the PIP joints (proximal interphalangal joints). Put this on the midline of your face. Where that ends, that's about 4.5 cun later to the midline. Now find your "hairline" (if you're hairline is closer or further than what is considered "normal" or "average", then estimate where the hairline would be) and go about 1/4 above that.
