Can't really comment on how efficient Zambuk is. Am 86 and it was the only ointment available when I was a child here in uk.


Carrier Oil in Zambuk
Posted by Naomi (North Carolina) on 05/20/2022

I was also wondering about this, so googled it. Apparently it depends upon where it was manufactured. Some list only camphor and eucalpytus in active ingredients, some list in addition to those, thyme and sassafras. In still another ingredient list, sassafras was replaced with colophony. I only found a few ingredient lists that named the carrier, and some had paraffin, and others named paraffin and petrolatum. Not sure why it isn't listed on the package as I do try to avoid paraffin and petrolatum products.

Is Zam-Buk good for fibromyalgia? I'm always in pain.

Sounds like many of the same active ingredients as Vick's Vaporub....

The active ingredients in Vicks VapoRub are camphor (a cough suppressant and topical analgesic), eucalyptus oil (a cough suppressant) and menthol (a cough suppressant and topical analgesic). The inactive ingredients in Vicks VapoRub include cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, petrolatum, thymol and turpentine oil.
