Tiger Balm. Contains opiates though, so be very careful as it can send you a bit spacey @_@

Ralgex.

Rosemary Oil in your bath water.

Radox bath salts.

Was going to suggest Tiger Balm.
I personally believe that a lot of the goodness comes from the gentle massage that it requires...

But also, Deep Freeze.

[joe_m]

is that the one in the little octagonal jar?
if so, is the red one or white one better?
one of my climbing mates had it . . . and he was on about redc and white. . . i think haha

thanks mate.
think i will invest in that and some tiger balm, and see what i like best

Red Tiger Balm is the stronger, but for heaven's sake wash your hands after use. I know I gent who didn't and spent several hours with something very sensitive wrapped in cold, damp cloths! lol!!

And be aware that it will stain your clothes, so wear something you don't care about

I do think that it depends on who's doing the rubbing and where, but all digital stimulation is good to get the blood flowing - I'm reliably informed

But you can't beat a hot Radox bath to soothe your aches and pains - but it might be a tad tricky up Kilimanjaro! Tiger Balm's a lot more practical.
