Here is told that Tiger Balm will help you with everything, it almost makes you indestructible https://www.tigerbalm-baumetigre.com/blog/46-uses-tigerbalm/. Has anyone tried it, is it really so good?

At work years ago today in the office I had a splitting headache and one of my female colleagues pulled tiger balm out of her purse and put a tiny amount on each side of my temples, headache was gone within five minutes .

Sounds amazing

I tried Tiger balm many years ago and it works great. An alternative, affordable choice that works the same, as much of the ingrediants are the same, is any type of vapor rub, that sells at Dollarama for $2.  
Should it be a headache, I suggest applying the vapor rub on both sides of the temples, just above both eyebrows, both sides of the nose, behind both ear lobes and around the throat.

Hedley’s in the mall used to sell it. That was many years ago, not sure if they still do.

I use the tiger balm arthritis rub cream and it is amazing! I am on strong pain meds and have found this cream to be one of the only ones OTC that actually helps. The pharmacy at COOP orders it in for me but I’ve also seen it at superstore

Bio Freeze. It worked for my bad arthritis pain in my lumbar spine. Voltaren didn't help that pain but I do find it better for muscular pain.  
Bio Freeze also comes in a roll on. The only down size is that no heat can be applied while using it on your body.  
Bought at Shoppers Drug Mart but can probably purchase at most places.

I use Tiger Balm for pretty much everything. Muscle ache, arthritis, headache, sore throat, bone pain in growing children. Bad cough? Slather your chest and back with Tiger Balm. Numb hands in the morning? Slather with Tiger Balm and put on mitts before going to bed.  
 
Be warned! Tiger Balm, once on, does not come off. It can feel either hot or cold depending on what is needed. If it is applied to an area that doesn't need ointment, it will feel neutral, like nothing is there.  
Do not get it in your eyes. If not using on hands, I highly recommend wearing disposable gloves when applying. And do not try to make food after getting Tiger Balm on your hands...or your food will taste like Tiger Balm.  
You can buy Tiger Balm at Superstore, Shopper's Drug Mart or Walmart. Pharmacy section, usually where the pain ointments are in the first aid section. Usually on the bottom shelf, it is an orange box.  
 
The stuff from Loonie Toones, Wild Tiger, does not work very well on it's own. If using Wild Tiger, it is an add-on for Tiger Balm to increase the effectiveness of Tiger Balm. Like kicking it up to the next level.
