About Tiger Balm
Tiger Balm is a legendary topical pain relief brand with roots tracing back to 1870s Burma, now headquartered in Singapore. The brand has become globally synonymous with herbal muscle and joint pain relief, featuring its distinctive tiger logo and iconic hexagonal glass jars. The Tiger Balm formula combines traditional Asian herbal medicine with modern manufacturing. Key active ingredients include camphor and menthol for cooling and warming sensations, plus clove oil, cajuput oil, and peppermint oil for their therapeutic properties. These ingredients work together to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and provide temporary pain relief. The brand offers two classic variants: Tiger Balm Red (stronger, with cinnamon oil for extra heat) designed for muscle aches and joint pain, and Tiger Balm White (milder, headache-focused) suitable for tension headaches, nasal congestion, and insect bites. The red version provides more warming sensation, while white offers gentler relief. Beyond the original ointments, Tiger Balm has expanded into targeted products including Neck & Shoulder Rub (designed specifically for desk workers and tension sufferers) and Muscle & Tension Lotion (non-greasy, absorbed quickly for everyday use). These modern formulations maintain the traditional active ingredients while addressing contemporary usage needs. Tiger Balm is applied topically by massaging into affected areas. The warming or cooling sensation begins within minutes, providing temporary relief from muscular aches, sprains, and stiffness. Many users keep Tiger Balm as a household staple for sports recovery, everyday aches, and tension headaches. Available at UK supermarkets, pharmacies, and health stores including Sainsbury's and Ocado, Tiger Balm offers an affordable natural alternative to pharmaceutical pain relievers for minor muscle and joint discomfort.
