How Can Tiger Balm Help with Muscle Pain Treatment?

How Can Tiger Balm Help with Muscle Pain Treatment?

Tiger Balm first became prominent in the ancient courts of Chinese emperors before rising in worldwide popularity. Our original pain relief ointment was created by Aw Chu Kin, who was a Chinese herbalist that worked in the Emperor’s court. After he left China, he set up a small medicine shop named Eng Aun Tong in Rangoon where he sold his special ointment.

Once Aw Chu Kin left the business to his two sons, they brought the business to Singapore and successfully popularised what would become our signature ointment.

These days, Tiger Balm’s legacy extends to almost 100 countries. We take pride in balancing the best of old traditions while adapting to modern innovation and developing various formulations for joint and muscle pain relief to suit your health needs. 

WHAT IS TIGER BALM?

Tiger Balm is a world-renown ointment that’s used as topical treatment for muscle pains and aches, sore joints, headaches, and colds. Our products are made using natural remedies taken from Far Eastern Traditions and combined with today’s innovation. It’s a tried and tested ointment that has been trusted for many generations. No matter what age or lifestyle, Tiger Balm has a remedy to address your needs. 

HOW TIGER BALM CAN HELP WITH PAIN RELIEF

Tiger Balm’s active ingredients are powerful herbal blends that are all known for their pain-relieving properties. These ingredients include Camphor, Menthol, Capsicum Extract, and Methyl Salicylate.

Camphor is predominantly used in our products. This plant helps in improving blood flow and is a counterirritant, which reduces pain and inflammation. Generally, it’s often used as treatment for muscle pains and aches, as well as symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Another staple in every Tiger Balm product is Menthol. Adding menthol to our products helps soothe the muscles with its coolness followed by a warm sensation. 

Capsicum is another active component most known for its presence in chilli peppers. It is mainly used in our pain relieving patches which, like the other ingredients, alleviate minor muscle and joint aches.

And lastly, we have Methyl Salicylate, which is an external analgesic found in our liniment and all of our Active products. Our products with this ingredient can be great to use before and after exercise or any other strenuous activity as it can help ease the tension and pressure of your muscles.

Coming in different formulations including rubs and patches, Tiger Balm is a convenient and effective solution for everyday use.Here are some of our muscle pain relief products that will be perfect for your health kits or everyday bags:

TIGER BALM EXTRA STRENGTH

If you’re looking for a shoulder and neck pain ointment, the Tiger Balm Extra Strength Ointment is your ideal choice. On top of our menthol’s cool soothing properties, we’ve also added cassia oil (cinnamon) to help give you a more relaxing sensation upon application. 

Cassia oil adds to the warm feeling of the ointment, making it one of our stronger formulations for joint and muscle pain relief only second to Tiger Balm Ultra Strength. So if you want something that’s not too strong but is still fast-working, our Tiger Balm Extra Strength Ointment is your best choice.

This product is perfect for those doing constant strenuous activities from work or exercise. It can also benefit those who experience minor pain from arthritis. 

TIGER BALM ULTRA STRENGTH

For those seeking out extra-strength pain relief, our Tiger Balm Ultra Strength ointment has the strongest concentration of our signature herbal ingredients.

 When applied, this topical treatment provides fast, warm, and comforting relief for joint and muscle pain, backaches, arthritis, and stiff muscles. 

TIGER BALM PAIN RELIEVING PATCH

While Tiger Balm is famous for our ointment rubs, some form of shoulder, joint, or back pain may prevent you from effectively massaging the paste into the painful area. During times like these you can always get relief from the Tiger Balm Relieving Patch instead. It has the combination of Tiger Balm’s blend of herbal ingredients all in one clean and easy-to-apply patch. 

Our medicated pain patches provide strong, convenient, and targeted muscle pain relief for hours. They’re not messy or greasy, so you don’t have to worry about them staining your clothing. When you apply the ventilated hydrogel patch to your targeted area it contours to your body, alleviating muscle pain and giving comfort. These patches also come in large sizes for more coverage, especially for those experiencing lower backaches. 

TIGER BALM ACTIVE MUSCLE RUB

Applying pain relief rub doesn’t always have to happen right after an intense workout; applying it beforehand can help loosen up your joints and muscles to ensure you get the most out of your exercise.
