−	* Tiger balm was developed during the 1870s in [[Rangoon]], [[Burma]], by herbalist [[Aw Chu Kin]], son of a [[Hakka people|Hakka]] herbalist in China, Aw Leng Fan. His father had sent him to Rangoon in the 1860s to help in his uncle's herbal shop. Eventually, Aw Chu Kin himself set up a family business named Eng Aun Tong meaning "Hall of Everlasting Peace". On his deathbed in 1908, he asked his sons [[Aw Boon Haw]] and [[Aw Boon Par]] [[Thad Boon Sram]] to perfect the product.

−	Liniments are commonly used on horses following exercise, applied either by rubbing on full-strength, especially on the legs; or applied in a diluted form, usually added to a bucket of water and sponged on the body. They are used in hot weather to help cool down a horse after working, the alcohol cooling through rapid evaporation, and [[counterirritant]] oils dilating capillaries in the skin, increasing the amount of blood releasing heat from the body. {{Citation needed|date=April 2016}}	+	Liniments are commonly used on horses following exercise, applied either by rubbing on full-strength, especially on the legs; or applied in a diluted form, usually added to a bucket of water and sponged on the body.
