Do you remember when you were young, having a weak immunity system, being clumsy and having sensitive skin; your mom/dad/guardian will always have an arsenal of miracle remedies on hand whenever you need a cure. Remember what was in that arsenal?
I remember using the following…
- Mopiko (it's even in wikipedia) – cuts, insect bites, burns
- ZamBak – bruises
- Minyak Angin / Minyak Kapak – tummy aches & dizziness
- Tit Da Jao – aches & pains, bruises, twisted ankles, sore muscles
- Pei Pa Kou – coughs & sore throats
- Scott’s Emulsion – general health
- 7 Seas Cod’s Liver Oil – general health
- Panadol – headaches & fever
Of the list above, the only remedy we still carry at home is Panadol, or rather a stronger substitute – Euphamol. I wonder what happened to the rest.
Better keep this list for when I start having kids of my own. Hahaha!

im still young, with a weak immunity system, clumsy with ultra-sensitive skin (cant even use sunblock) and heaps of allergies.
haha.
anyway, good to have these:
for diarrhoea, western meds like Dhamotil work better than the chinese "pou chai yun". and and AND, plenty of antihistamines which work for allergies and flu :)
the cap harimau one leh?
Minyak Buah Pala?
We didn't take pou chai yuen. We took Lomotil for diarrhea.
Tiger balm i seldom came across, although I do know it's popular.
Minyak Buah Pala... what's that?
