Injuries, body aches, arthritis, muscle soreness — all of it can make life miserably painful. However, more than 4,700 Amazon shoppers (my family included) swear by Tiger Balm, a serious pain-relieving ointment.
Tiger Balm is over a century old and has been helping people in Asia relieve their pain since 1908. According to the brand’s website, it was founded by a Chinese herbalist working in the emperor’s court in the late 1800s. However, when the herbalist died and left his business to his sons, they took the ointment to Singapore and named it Tiger Balm, successfully selling it to surrounding countries.
Today, you can buy it in the U.S. on Amazon and at most drug stores. Amazon shoppers especially love it.
Tiger Balm Extra Strength, $4.79 (Orig. $9.70)
Tiger Balm Extra Strength uses cassia oil (cinnamon) which gives it a somewhat strong aroma, but its herbal blend works to provide a gentle numbing effect. It also contains camphor and menthol. So, it’s a little like Icy Hot, but more natural.
Recently, a few members of my family had surgery or suffered a gym injury, so they gave Tiger Balm a try. Now, they’re all stocking up on it.
One thing to note is that the Tiger Balm Extra Strength is an orange color, so it may stain your clothes. My boyfriend applies it to his ankle, and many of his white socks have a bright orange stain. However, there’s a clear version that’s even more potent, Tiger Balm Ultra Strength, that may work better for you.
Tiger Balm Ultra Strength, $8.99
Both options are available on Amazon and have glowing reviews.
“This stuff rocks,” one reviewer wrote about Tiger Balm Extra Strength. “If you are looking for something that doesn’t smell bad and works better than Biofreeze and all that other jazz, give this magical ointment a try. You won’t be sorry.”
“I live and die by this stuff — can’t recommend it enough,” another Amazon reviewer wrote about the Tiger Balm Ultra Strength. “I have a disc in my back that causes radiating muscle pain into my ribs and hip. A little smear of tiger balm really helps to dull the pain so I can stand and walk at work.”
Both come in pretty small jars, but a little goes a long way. Plus, one jar generally costs less than $10. It’s a good deal for a less painful life.
