My dad used to use a belladona plaster for backache...or Thermogene......an orange cotton wool type stuff........I think you positioned it where the pain was and put your vest on over the top and tucked it in tight........I can't imagine this stuff stayed in place very well.

Margaret, aren't there different grades of Tiger Balm?
Yes - I have ordered the hottest
