I have a freind over from Switzerland who wants to find where to buy some--not the cream but the old fashioned oil in a bottle. I have an old bottle but it was bought years ago & from where I cant remember. It is called "The Australian Bush Recipe".

heres the recipe , now you can make some.

Methyl Salicylate 4.2% w/w (Oil of wintergreen),
Turpentine Oil 4.2% w/w,
Camphor 0.83% w/w,
Peppermint Oil 0.42% w/w,
Pine Oil Pumilio 2.5% w/w,
Menthol 0.17% w/w.

You can't get oil anymore , Goanna Oil is not from Goanna's of course but the link has a tall story to tell ,typical aussies,and the name Goanna is a trade name for many other oils including Tea Tree Oil,you will find plenty of liniment these days.

Send me an email morchemist at bigpond.com and I'll track some down for you...
