What is Tiger Balm?

Tiger Balm is a unique range of products that works where it hurts. Our belief is that no one should be held back because of muscle aches, pains and everyday tension.

Tiger Balm has risen from the ancient courts of Chinese emperors to worldwide prominence. It all began when Aw Chu Kin, a Chinese herbalist working in the Emperor’s court, left China and set up a small medicine shop called Eng Aun Tong in Rangoon in the late 1870s, where he would make and sell his special ointment that was effective in relieving aches and pains. The formula used medicinal plants: camphor, menthol, peppermint, cinnamon & clove, eucalyptus oil, cajeput oil and capsicum which still form the basis of our products today.
