A Chinese medicine has helped to relieve an unpleasant pain experienced by many Americans, according to a report by newspaper Qiluwanbao.

Chinese medicine-based Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment is popular on Amazon.com.

Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment, a medicine that treats pain caused by hemorrhoids, has proven to be popular on online shopping platform Amazon.com.

The ointment is produced by Chinese drug maker Mayinglong Pharm, which is best known for its hemorrhoid medications. The cream has received more than 1,000 reviews on Amazon's website. It has received a four and a half star average by users.

Customers have lauded the medicine on the website, writing lengthy reviews describing how the Chinese medicine has worked even though many of them were initially wary of it. The ointment was described by the reviewers as "fantastic," "amazing," "life saver" and "it did miracles for me."

It is not the first time that a Chinese product -- some of which may seem unlikely – has turned out to be a favorite among foreign customers. Laoganma Chili Crisp Sauce, a peppery Chinese sauce which goes well with anything from ramen to rice, is also popular and even made its way to the website of luxury shopping platform Gilt.
