Need something to ease your muscle aches and pains? Tiger Balm is the product for you! This traditional Chinese medication is one of the leading topical analgesics worldwide. It has been used for many years as a form of treatment for painful and sore muscles.
Tiger Balm is an ointment that functions as a heat rub. It was initially developed back in the late 1800s by an herbalist, who marketed these products to the Chinese Imperial Court. The products were used by many Chinese emperors who experienced body aches. Since then, Tiger Balm has been used for a variety of medical purposes. This product is currently manufactured by Haw Par Healthcare, which is based in Singapore.
Tiger Balm is made up of a combination of ingredients in a special formulation. These ingredients include menthol, camphor, cajaput oil, mint oil, clove bud oil, paraffin and petroleum jelly. The composition varies, depending on the kind of Tiger Balm ointment.
Tiger Balm works by producing a feeling of heat on the area where it is applied. The muscles in the area are then encouraged to relax, thus alleviating the pain. The heat can also enhance the flow of blood to the specific part of the body. The ingredients used in Tiger Balm are also believed to help encourage rapid healing of damaged tissues. Finally, Tiger Balm has a distinct smell that many people find therapeutic.
Tiger Balm is used for several conditions. It is used as an analgesic rub, relieving pains in your muscles and joints. It has also been used in the management of headaches and migraine attacks, usually those of a mild to a moderate intensity. Using Tiger Balm also brings relief to itchiness brought about by insect bites. Also, when applied to the chest area and the back, Tiger Balm has been known to relieve chest discomfort and cough.
There are different varieties of Tiger Balm available nowadays. The most popular varieties are Tiger Balm White and Tiger Balm Red. Tiger Balm White is used to treat itching and muscle pain. Tiger Balm Red is a stronger version of Tiger Balm White, and contains an additional ingredient known as cassia oil. Tiger Balm Red is usually warmer when applied to the skin. A milder variety of the Tiger Balm White is known as Tiger Balm Soft. This uses mild essential oils, making the scent lighter and more pleasing to the nose.
Aside from these varieties, there are a number of other Tiger Balm products. These include Tiger Balm Joint Rub, Tiger Balm Muscle Rub, Tiger Balm Neck and Shoulders Rub, Tiger Balm Liniment, Tiger Balm Medicated Plaster, and Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellant Spray.
Tiger Balm is readily available from most health stores and even on the Internet. It is very easy to use, and only needs to be applied to the affected body part. Make sure that you don't put too much, as excess Tiger Balm can result in skin irritation. For all your body aches and pains, simply use Tiger Balm!
