Do you know this one? Today, my colleague recommended an ointment for my back pain that I still know from my childhood in the GDR. Back then I used it against a blocked nose, the essential oils work quite well. I was sure I still had some left over from back then and after a long search they turned up. As usual, I almost broke my fingernails when I opened them. There's still a little left and I'll go to try it tonight. I don't know if it's a good idea to use an ointment that's 30 years old or more but I'll find out soon. It's still around, now in a screw-top jar after small tin cans and fingernails were running low. Thanks for the third picture to my colleague. Do you know the ointment and if so, what do you use it for?

I remember that I had many years ago when I was little, we called it Chinese cream.
Here we call it Tigerbalm. It's strong like a tiger but I have no idea what balm means.
Yes, he was very strongly mentholated, but he was very good. Now it is no longer found.
Not in that form, but in a jar, it is still available here. Apparently it is produced in Flensburg / Germany.
Sometimes I use it when I have a headache from the full moon. It stings a little but it helps me.
That's right, then it gets smeared on the forehead. I hadn't thought of that, thank you.
And are you still creaming or is it already working?
I'll try it before going to bed, can tell you tomorrow.
I don't know this but there is a similar toger balm here its like miracle for your stiff back and clogged nose like peppermint smell is so strong in it
I think it might be the same in another package.
We use Tiger balm too or vicks It's like a magic wand, it can heal anything😂 (according to our grandparents )
I think that's what grandparents everywhere in the world say.
