Tiger Balm FAQs

What is Tiger Balm used for?

Tiger Balm is a popular topical analgesic used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints. It's commonly applied to ease muscular soreness, back pain, arthritis, sprains, and even tension headaches.

What's the difference between Tiger Balm Red and White?

Tiger Balm Red Ointment has a stronger, warming effect due to its higher concentration of ingredients like camphor and cassia oil, making it ideal for muscle aches and pains. Tiger Balm White Ointment offers a milder, cooling sensation with ingredients like menthol and cajuput oil, often used for headaches, stuffy noses, and insect bites.

How do I use Tiger Balm?

For best results, apply a small amount of Tiger Balm directly to the affected area and gently rub until it is absorbed. You may feel a warming or cooling sensation. It can be applied two to three times daily. Always read the label and instructions before use.

Is Tiger Balm safe for everyone?

Tiger Balm is generally safe for external use by adults and children over two years old. However, it should not be applied to broken skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with sensitive skin, should consult a healthcare professional before use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Can Tiger Balm help with headaches?

Yes, Tiger Balm White Ointment is often used to help alleviate tension headaches. Apply a small amount to your temples and forehead, avoiding the eyes, for a soothing, cooling effect that can help relieve discomfort.
