In Reply to: Heat for pain, Can you please help? posted by Baliku on Thursday, 22. February 2007 at 07:17 Bali Time:
"band aid" remedies that we do not have here...
Counterpain is a great rub ointment type.
I also get little natural Pain patches called "SALONPAS"
You can buy them here in Australia at most of the asian shops, but in Bali they are everywhere in the OPOTIK ( Chemist )..they are cheaphere but in Bali they are really cheap. They come in a sealed satchet type arrangement with 10 patches inside. Just put them on and replace them regularly. In Bali Salonpas also comes in a roll on form as well, so I keep that in my bag and I think an Ointment although I haven't used that. They create heat and penetrate without you realising. Have put lots of people on to these. This is not a cure though!!
Also on the brighter side in Bali you have all types of massage at your fingertips, make use of that , especially Reflexology, which is fantastic ....Good Luck Ness x
