Tiger Balm is a topical ointment made from herbal ingredients, primarily used for pain relief and muscle soreness. It contains a blend of camphor, menthol, and various essential oils, which create a warming or cooling sensation on the skin. Originally developed in China in the 1870s, it has gained popularity worldwide as a remedy for headaches, joint pain, and minor muscle aches. Tiger Balm is often applied directly to the affected area and is available in various formulations, including ointments and patches.
