Good call Lisa!! I actually use two different things like this that I find in several different Asian markets: Tiger balm, and SALONPAS (see attatched image of packaging). Both are ben-gay-esque but SALONPAS is a patch to slap on whereas Tiger balm is a cream. They are kinda icy feeling and don't smell too terrible.
