When I lived in the Far East, I used Tiger Balm. When I first stepped out on the Camino, I used Deep Heat until I overhead...

    Bringing CBD Oil to Europe in Luggage

    This isn't quite right - you can buy CBD (ie contains cannibidoil) Muscle Balm at Holland and Barrett - I use it, it's better than DeepHeat and even 12-hour Voltarol

    What about Bedbugs? The Myths, the Legends, the Realities
