SWEATER season is here! And you know what that means! Heavy rains, cold nights, chilly mornings, body pains, coughs, colds, and flu.
As Filipinos, we always have that one magical bottle with that weird scent that we used to hate as a kid because our moms showered us with it whenever we got sick. Until we got a little older and realized that they were right: It was magical! because it cured everything! (except heartaches maybe) Wait, let me rub some on my chest. Yep, it’s still there, but at least the smell distracts me from the pain!
Without further ado here are the Top All-time Pinoy-favorite liniments that will save our Tito/Tita bodies this cold season.
1. White Flower
It feels light on the skin, its scent is mild, and its bottle design is minimalist, but it still gets the job done!
2. Efficascent Oil
Nothing screams “I need a break from a day of hard work” like a green liquid on a bottle does (and yes I’m still talking about liniments).
It looks strong because it is strong! Cold on the surface, hot on the inside. That is what this oil feels like. It gets the job done and it does not play around!
3. Vicks
Now, this is a classic. Vicks’ healing abilities just get passed down from generation to generation.
it’s a household staple not just in the Philippines but around the world! You can use this for coughs, colds, flu, allergies, insect bites, and the list just goes on and on.
4. Omega Pain killer
If you have ever used Omega, you know what pain is. And this thick lotion-like liniment helped you endure it.
And if you are using one right now, I’m honestly praying for you.
5. Katinko
I mean, that photo alone should tell you why Katinko reigns supreme!
Katinkogirl set, Katinkoman set, roll-ons, sprayers, what more do you need?
For every back pain, itch, rashes, and headache, Katinko has got your back!
6. Pau Liniment
You must be really cold to even think of this. Bigyan ng jacket, ‘yan!
7. Tiger Balm
This is like that weird cousin of Vicks that hangs around, but nobody really knows what’s up with this.
People buy this and instantly forget they even have one at home.
8. Ilog Maria
You know this? you must be a real liniment connoisseur to know this product exists.
One question though: how old are you?
9. Creations Spa
They have ointments for energy and sleep! What else do you want?! And no, these are not edibles and you should probably keep them away from kids.
