Massaging the leg with Minyak Tapil to relieve numbness
01

Relieving numbness in the legs

Relieves numbness in the legs, calves and soles — particularly the kind that arrives at night and disturbs sleep.

How to apply

Apply to the soles, ankles and calves, then massage upwards following the flow of blood. Most effective after a warm shower or before sleeping.

Massaging the back with Minyak Tapil to relieve back pain
02

Relieving back and waist pain

Relieves back and waist pain after heavy work, lifting, or standing for too long.

How to apply

Apply to the painful area and massage gently in circular motions with the palm until warmth is felt. Repeat two to three times a day.

03

Relieving body aches

Relieves aches in the shoulders, arms, thighs and the whole body after heavy work, sport or long journeys.

How to apply

Apply to the shoulders, arms and thighs, then massage until absorbed. Best used before sleeping so the muscles have time to relax.

Massaging around the knee joint with Minyak Tapil
04

Relieving joint and muscle pain

Relieves pain in the knee, elbow and shoulder joints, and muscles that are cramped or stiff in the morning.

How to apply

Apply around the painful joint. Do not press hard on a swollen joint — a thin layer and gentle massage is enough.

Post-natal body massage using Minyak Tapil Cap Wanita
05

Body and post-natal massage

Used for body massage, and well known among women in confinement for post-natal massage.

How to apply

Massage with long, gentle strokes towards the heart, using lighter pressure than an ordinary massage. Get approval from a doctor or qualified midwife before starting post-natal massage.

When is the best time to apply it?

After a warm shower and before bed. Warm water opens the blood vessels at the skin, so the warmth from Methyl Salicylate and Camphor is felt sooner. Applying it before sleep gives the muscle time to relax undisturbed.

How often can it be used?

Two to three times a day as needed. There is no added benefit to applying it more often than that, and some people's skin turns red if too much is applied.

How long does one bottle last?

For daily use on a single area of the body, a bottle typically lasts one to two months. It depends on how large an area is covered and how often it is applied.

When should you stop and see a doctor?

Stop using it and seek medical advice if the skin becomes red, itchy or sore. For back pain, get it examined if it comes with numbness or weakness in the legs, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels, fever, or pain that persists unchanged for more than two weeks. Massage oil relieves muscle — it is not a treatment for nerve or spinal problems.

Before you use it

For external use only. Not suitable for children under 2 years old. Avoid contact with eyes and open wounds.
