Siang Pure Oil: 5 Cures in 1

This Chinese herbal medicine can cure indigestion, mosquito bites, muscle aches and more. A review from personal experience.

While traveling in Asia, I found a unique oil called Siang Pure Oil that cures five minor ailments:
Stomach Ache
Mosquito Bites
Muscular Aches
Dizziness
Stuffy Nose

Siang Pure Oil does this in a miraculous way, and acts very fast.
It comes in a tiny bottle for about $5, and I do mean very tiny bottle (see the photo). But you only need a small amount for your ailment.
Apply topically; do not take internally!

Stomach Aches.
The most amazing of Siang Pure Oil's abilities is the cure for a stomach ache.
When you feel a cramp, ache, indigestion or gas in your stomach, you can cure it as follows. You must lie down and apply a small amount of the Siang Pure Oil on your stomach, rubbing it all around the lower abdomen and belly area. Wait for a few minutes, take regular deep breaths, and you'll experience some very quick results. In about 3 minutes, you'll feel an odd cooling sensation around your stomach area, and the discomfort will begin to fade. Within 10 minutes, you should be fine. I would recommend lying there another half hour just to be sure you're OK (depending on the severity of your indigestion or ache). It never hurts to just relax.
This will not cure food poisoning or serious ailments. The oil will only help cure your cramps, indigestion and minor discomforts. This oil is especially helpful to relief gas pain.

Mosquito Bites.
Mosquito bites can be very dangerous, as you can get encephalitis or an infection from these little creatures. The bite often itches and burns for an hour or longer. If you apply a small amount of Siang Pure Oil to the bit area, it will immediately cool down and stop itching. You should also apply some rubbing alcohol to the bite within the hour, just to make sure that tiny bite doesn't get infected.

Muscular Aches & Pains. Siang Pure Oil can be rubbed on sore muscles to relieve aches on any area of the body. It's especially helpful on the shoulders and calves.

You can also smell it to relieve dizziness. Sit down and inhale the fumes, and you'll get temporary relief from vertigo.

Inhaling the oil can also relieve your stuffy nose. It won't cure a cold, but it can be a quick temporary relief, so you can breathe better.

Siang Pure Oil is either clear or light orange in color and smells like cinnamon candles. (I've seen no difference in the clear vs orange formulas).
Siang Pure Oil's ingredients are (according to the side of the bottle):
Menthol
Peppermint Oil
Camphor
Clove Oil
Cinnamon Oil
Methyl Salicylate



Where can you buy Siang Pure Oil?
I found about one out of five drug stores in the US do carry this little cure, and usually you'll find it next to the Tiger Balm ointment. Just ask for it, and the pharmacist in your local shop can help you. The easiest and cheapest way is to order it online. As it comes in a small vial, the shipping costs are minor. Stores all over China and Southeast Asia carry this oil in large quantities. Many of them have online shops, or you can find some US mail order drug stores that carry it.

I always keep a small vial on hand, in case of emergencies. I love to eat, so I never know when indigestion will strike, or when a dreaded mosquito swarm will launch an attack.
The Siang pure oil vial is small enough to carry with you everywhere you go. It fits easily into any purse, pocket, jacket or backpack.
