Tiger Balm understands that consumers are increasingly looking for dedicated home remedies, and that there are different discomforts brought on by different activities and lifestyles. So be it headaches and cold, rheumatic or arthritic pains, or muscle strains and pains, there’s a Tiger Balm remedy just for you.
Natural remedies have always played a vital role in Far Eastern healing. Tiger Balm products are primarily based on powerful herbal blends of medicinal plants that are known for their curative effects. The revitalizing effects of the ingredients used in Tiger Balm products eases muscle and joint aches, strains and sprains for millions of people all over the world, and has been doing so for more than a century.
Found in most of our products, camphor increases local blood flow and is a counterirritant, which reduces pain and swelling. It provides temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and pains caused by strains, sprains, bruises, arthritis, and simple backaches.
Cajuput oil is primarily known for its antiseptic and analgesic qualities. When applied externally, it increases local blood flow and creates mild rubefacient (redness on skin). It is also traditionally used with other volatile oils for the relief of respiratory tract disorders and nasal congestion.
A staple in every Tiger Balm U.S. product, menthol causes an initial sensation of coolness that is soon followed by a sensation of warmth. It helps temporarily relieve minor pains, including those caused by arthritis, backaches, bruising, cramps, muscle strains or sprains, and tendonitis.
Found in our Pain Relieving Patches and Pain Relieving Hydrogel Patches (Large), Capsicum is an active component of chili peppers. It provides temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and pains caused by arthritis, backaches, strains, and sprains.
Methyl Salicylate can be found in our Liniment and all of our Active products. It is used to temporarily relieve muscle or joint pain, arthritis, bruising, and backaches. It can also be used for pre-sport warm-up and after sport as well.
Cassia Oil, Cajuput Oil, Clove Oil, and Dementholized Mint Oil are other essential oils found in the Tiger Balm ointment formula. They are not officially recognized by the FDA as “Active Ingredients” for Topical Pain Relief. They are known herbs in the aromatherapy world. And blended together with the Active Ingredients (Menthol & Camphor) give the formula its unique “Tiger Balm scent”. Eucalyptus Oil is found in the Tiger Balm Patch & Liniment products.
