It all started with a journey. A journey that imperial court herbalist, Aw Chu Kin, took more than 100 years ago from China to set up his humble medicine shop in Burma (or Myanmar). His vision was to sell and make known a unique herbal ointment which originated in the old imperial courts of China to relieve and soothe the body aches and pains of its users.

Little did he know that this remedy would transcend generations even after his death. To continue the legacy he created, his sons—Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par—brought Tiger Balm to Singapore in the beginning of the 20th century. This marked the start of another journey: A journey to make Tiger Balm a household name beyond the sunny shores of the island state.

Ever since then, Tiger Balm has grown to become one of the world's leading topical analgesics. It is trusted and used by people looking for a fast-acting and effective way of relieving different muscular aches and pains.

To suit the needs of the modern world, Tiger Balm has evolved from just a single formulation to a wide variety of formats that is convenient to use. The journey will continue for Tiger Balm, as it innovates alongside the lifestyle needs of people—at home, at work, and at play.
