I literally cannot live without this tiny little jar of magic!

Tiger Balm Pain Relieving Ointment is great for sore muscles, especially for those painful knots in your back that keep you up at night!

The best way I can explain the effects of this is that it has a cooling effect. After rubbing the ointment onto your muscles, within minutes you will feel a cooling sensation. It is so soothing and takes away the pain!

I have scoliosis and so I have tried quite a few pain relieving ointments and creams since I am always in discomfort. I used to use Biofreeze, but in my opinion, Tiger Balm works much much better!

Warning! The Red Extra Strength WILL stain your clothes! I apply the ointment before I go to bed and I will make sure I am wearing an old, oversized T-shirt that I don’t care about. The regular strength Tiger Balm is a white ointment, that works great too and won’t stain your clothes.

Other things I have used Tiger Balm for: Rubbing a tiny amount of the Regular Strength White Ointment onto your temples and forehead, will help soothe tension headaches. It’s strong menthol smell will help clear your sinuses too (so, if you are all stuffed up and cannot breath out of your nose, try rubbing a tiny bit on your forehead and chest).

Be careful not to get it too close to your eyes because it will burn! And I would recommend the regular strength if you are going to try this for headaches.

Also, Tiger Balm has helped with my TMJ issues. I rub a tiny bit onto my jaw muscles, especially the muscles right over the joints, and I swear it helps my jaw relax. And I rub onto my wrist muscles for relief of wrist pain caused by tendonitis…Tiger Balm is pretty much great for all aches and pains!
