I have very sensitive skin prone to contact dermatitis and the itch that comes with it lol , and I ' ve found most asian ointments to relief musclepain to be really helpful with calming my skin down . Most of them have the same ingredients camphor , eucalyptus oil , menthol or mint , and various forms of petrolatum what Vaseline is made of . Sometimes cloves , or lavender is included . I ' ve not tried any with ginseng , tho . It can be a boyfriendrepellant , but my current bf thinks it makes me smell more exotic , so it doesn ' t repel all bfs lolBecause the ingredients are formulated to soothe your nerves by tingling them , don ' t use this on your face , ever . Eucalyptus oil can also be cloggy for the face . I ' ve also found that , while this works great for calming stressnausea for me , and also reduces inflammation from insect bites do not use this for spider bites or any bite from something with a little bit of venom , like bees . I come from an asian family that loves to use tingly ointments for everything , and I ' ve seen what happens when you mix tingly with venom big reactory inflammation and doctortime lolThere are generally two main types of tiger balm there are more variations , depending on country red and white . If I ' m not mistaken , the white one is milder . The red version has Chinese innmn , and cajuput oil strong smell , and antibacterialantifungal if I ' m not mistaken . I totally relate with uncontrollable stress . Most of the time , it ' s caused by situations and it ' s not an innate thing . You can mentally power through by telling yourself this will pass , and you wait it out , like you do for storms . Nice calming smells and no itching ! totally help make the wait easier , tho .
