    Re: Jacks Using Turmeric

    sounds great

    Any scientific evidence ?

    My Chinese friend swears by tiger balm for aches and pains but apparently it just heats up the skin and that diverts you away from the pain by distracting your mind

    No better than tesco heat rub

    There is some scientific evidence it can have an anti-inflammatory effect.

    So can a couple of ibuprofen tablets though

    There is little evidence it does much else.

    Suggested advice. Whichever you use DO NOT go for a pee, or scratch your rear end, without thoroughly cleaning your hands first.

    That tiger balm burns !

    Similarly, Deep Heat on your wedding tackle will take your mind off your other aches and pains.
