Counterpain Analgesic Balm is a warming rub from Taisho that has been a fixture in Thai households and gym bags for decades. The cream carries methyl salicylate, menthol and eugenol, the classic trio behind most topical muscle rubs sold over the counter. Rubbed into the skin it produces a steady warmth that settles over the sore area and takes the edge off a stiff, aching muscle. People reach for it after a long training session, a day of heavy lifting or a night spent sleeping awkwardly on one shoulder. The texture is a smooth cream rather than a greasy ointment, so it works into the skin without leaving much residue on clothing. A 120 gram tube goes a long way because only a thin layer is needed over each area. It is intended for external use on unbroken skin and should be kept well away from the eyes, mouth and any cut or rash. Wash your hands after applying so none of it transfers to your face later. The tube is imported into India by Lavance International and the product itself is made in Thailand. Store it somewhere cool and dry and keep the cap closed between uses.
