Question: May a kickboxer use Thai liniment before a bout? 
Answer: Unlike in boxing and mixed martial arts, the use of Thai liniment is permissible to apply to a kickboxer before a kickboxing bout, but may be applied only to the kickboxer’s lower body. Thai liniment (such as Namman Muay) is a specific item and should not be confused with other oils, greases, ointments, balms or butters, such as Tiger Balm, IcyHot or Cocoa Butter. If it is to be used, Thai liniment must be applied in the kickboxer’s dressing room or elsewhere backstage before the bout, and may not be reapplied after the kickboxer leaves the dressing room. The Thai liniment should be completely dried before the kickboxer enters the ring for competition. It is at the referee's discretion if a kickboxer has used an excessive amount of liniment. The referee may make the kickboxer wipe off the liniment if there is an excessive amount.
