Golden StarBalm Cao Sao Vang - Vietnamese All Natural Aromatic Balsam Medicinal Ointment

Great for pain and irritation

My father a few years ago brought this balm home from Vietnam. We instantly loved the product as it helps with so many things. I had ran out and found it here and ordered. When delivered it comes as 10 individual gram packets which are nice for travel and to keep on self. My son has horrific excima and no cream work besides this. I was also in a car accident and this seeps into my muscles and numbs it better then prescribed medicine. There is a menthol type smell associated with this product but you get used to it fast and the effect out ways the smell. Definitely worth a try for the price. I loke that it comes woth 10 as I give away to friends and family. Everyone of them have loved it and ordered it for themselves after.

Like many others I bought this for the tarkov memes and to pass out to friends of mine that play.One fateful night as I sat at my computer, I began having a very sore neck (Probably due to sitting for hours and not stretching) and I saw this out of the corner of my eye on my desk and decided to try it out.Rubbed it on my neck and instantly the pain was gone. I was amazed at how well it worked.Now I understand why it has the properties it does in Tarkov lmao

Contents works well, but containers are so small, that it's difficult to hold and open. I wonder why they don't give you half the amount of containers and make them bigger. They are seriously so small, that it's a choking hazard for a small child or pet, if you didn't realize one dropped. I would buy again if they made a bigger container.

I’m not gonna make another tired Escape From Tarkov reference because I have self respect.It’s aromatic ointment. It has a million uses. Excellent value for the money.

It reminds me of the old country :) I still own some balm that is dated from 1980. My familybrought some over from the old country, everyone in europe used it. Everything about this product is the same, except the box has been redesigned slightly to open easier. Maybe the old stuff was a tad stronger but it could just be aged. I am very happy with this purchase. I use it for when i have a cold, allergies, headaches, or on a cold evening I want to smell something that reminds me of the old days. Great product and I am happy to know I can still buy it on amazon.

I got this product because I’m a fan of Tarkov but after using it today on a sore muscle it felt warm and made the muscle a little numb and felt great! This also smells great better then vicks. The tin isn’t as hard to open as they say. I bought it because of the game but will keep buying and using because it’s an amazing product.

The balm is a bit more expensive due to it being imported and I understand that. The balm however isn’t really even something al to novel. I’d really only buy it because it’s in Escape From Tarkov. The balm is consisted of peppermint oil as well as the usual ingredients that go into lip balm.The biggest kicker for me is the extraordinarily high amount of menthol in this little thing. It’s a VERY high ratio compared to Carmex, which also has menthol. In comparison you can just about apply Carmex to your lips for hours and not have the menthol feel like it’s frost chilled skin. Golden star will likely have you shaking and beyond a comfortable amount of tingling within only a half pea sized amount. It’s rather uncomfortable to apply in any amount besides a light coating as it does last for quite some time.The product doesn’t even really work that well in comparison to Carmex or even Vaseline/petroleum jelly products. It didn’t really work well enough for me to want to buy it again. It’s much cheaper to get the aforementioned products.You do have it as an Escape From Tarkov novelty though, but if still make it a one time buy.With this deal you get more than you’d need in a year likely. Seeing as you can only withstand it for so long as well.
