Tiger Balm

Leaning hard over a railing caused me pain by a rib. After a few days of pain (no, nothing was broken) someone suggested I try Tiger Balm. It also goes by Chinese Balm, Oriental Balm and more. I got the cheapy sort (Oriental Balm) and what do you know, after the second application the pain was noticeably reduced, thank G-d!
I gently rubbed in a little bit - less than a pea size - 2 or 3 times a day.
