Tiger Balm? Is it safe?

Does anyone know if there is any reason not to use Tiger Balm in pregnancy?  I have a muscle in my upper back that is in lockdown, and Tiger Balm has always helped before.

TIA!

    A friend of mine who is pregnant has used it for her sciatica.  I think a friend/nurse told her it was okay, but I'm not positive.

    I would think so.  Call your doc if you're really nervous about it, but it's a natural remedy that I would feel comfortable using myself.

    I am not entirely sure, but in the Dr. Oz  "You: having a baby" book, he recommends it at one point for muscle aches. So..it is probably one of those things some people think is fine and others are not comfortable with, yet has no strong,  documented evidence either way.
