Types of Tiger Balm and uses:

The differences between one balm and another lie in their composition, especially in the essential oils they contain, which determine the effects they cause and, consequently, the recommended uses of each one.

On the one hand, the most common is the red tiger balm, composed of a combination of camphor and peppermint essential oil that provides a warming effect in the area where it is applied. This sensation of heat helps reduce muscle tension and increase blood flow, relieving all types of muscle pains such as fatigue, strains, tensions, back pain, sprains and bruises, among others. It also helps to reduce joint inflammation, being useful for treating a multitude of joint problems, from osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism and torticollis, to situations of muscular stiffness.

And on the other hand, there is also the white tiger balm, made with cassia essential oil that acts as a muscle relaxant and has a characteristic aroma ideal for causing an immediate sensation of freshness, also helping to soothe nasal and respiratory congestion. This type of balm is also indicated for combating muscle discomfort, headaches and migraines. And, in addition, it also provides a feeling of relief for the itching and swelling caused by insect bites while avoiding them, acting as a natural repellent.

How to use:

The application of this balm is very simple, to relieve muscle pains it is enough to apply a certain amount in the painful area by performing a gentle massage so that the product penetrates better into the skin. As for headaches or migraines, the procedure is similar, although in these cases it is recommended to massage the back of the neck, the forehead and temple area.

And, to remedy nasal or respiratory congestion, the balm should be applied to the chest with enough quantity for the person to inhale the aroma.
