So DH walked into a door handle last night quite badly actually, and has got out the tiger balm (kinda like 'deep heat' for those of you who aren't familiar with it) and our house now smells of it to varying degrees!

Does anyone know if the vapours are harmful to any degree? There are warnings about not using it without prescription if you are pregnant or breastfeeding but I'm wondering, if he puts it on before bed and Krystiana sleeps in our bedroom tonight, is that a problem?

I don't think that it would be, I've used it while being preggers - doc told me it was fine so long as I ain't putting it on me constantly. If it's only for a few nights it wouldn't matter. It's more the ingredients that people are weary of

I'd say it would be fine too, it's only if its rubbed on and absorbed thru the skin that it could cause a problem. I used to put Vicks Vapour Rub which has a similar smell in a bowl of boiling water on Maya's bedroom floor when she was congested to help clear her chest.

i think the vapours are meant to be quite good - the chinese swear by tb and use it even when not sick....my Gma used to put it on our pillow cases when we were sick too.
