From gels and creams to travel-friendly balms and medicated patches, Tiger Balm has a remedy for you.

In this guide, we break down product offerings so you can make the best purchase choice to manage your aches and pains!

Balms & Ointments

The balm that started it all! Featuring the iconic hexagonal jar, Tiger Balm ointments – the brainchild of Aw Chu Kin and his sons – has been the staple pain relief balm for Chinese families since 1924. A century later, it has become a go-to for families across Asia and the United States as well.

If you’re looking for a balm to ease muscle and joint aches, choose our traditional formula: Tiger Balm Extra Strength Ointment. Its familiar reddish-brown color comes from cassia oil, which provides a soothing aroma that complements the refreshing scent of the ointment’s active ingredients – camphor and menthol. As a pain relief balm for muscle ache and stiffness, it eases post-workout soreness while being a friendly companion during warm-ups. Those with arthritis will also find the ointment effective in relieving neck, shoulder, and other joint pains.

Prefer something stronger? Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Ointment is our best ointment to go for. It’s formulated with our most potent concentration of herbal ingredients to provide you with superior comfort on each application. With a larger percentage of menthol than Tiger Balm Extra, you can expect increased warmth on stiff, aching, and overexerted muscles and arthritis pain in the joints. Plus, its clear concoction won’t stain your clothes, so there’s nothing to stop you from wearing light-colored garments over the applied areas.

Tiger Balm Ultra Strength also comes in a travel-friendly pocket-sized tin: Tiger Balm Ultra Sports Rub. The tin contains nearly three times more pain-fighting ointment than our jar, making it ideal for massage therapists, sports trainers, and other heavy Tiger Balm users. Whether you need relief for neck pain, stiff muscles, or arthritis aches, this ointment delivers the relief you need.

For application across larger body areas, we recommend Tiger Balm Liniment. This fast-acting liquid formulation quickly penetrates painful areas. The ointment is undoubtedly suitable for stiff muscles, backaches, arthritis pain in the shoulder, neck, and other joints.

Gels, creams & sprays

We offer an exciting variety of products beyond our balms and ointments, too. Our gels, creams, and sprays are equally effective and ideal for those who prefer specific types of applications. Tiger Balm Arthritis Rub, for example, is made with the same blend of camphor and menthol as Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Ointment. This non-greasy arthritis relief cream offers convenient dispensing with the help of a simple arthritis-friendly pump. Perfect for neck and shoulder pain, as well as aches in other joints, the cream provides warm and soothing relief to individuals who experience nagging joint discomfort daily.

For those with desk jobs or neck and shoulder muscle tension from repetitive motion, Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Rub is the perfect remedy. It’s like a comforting and relaxing self-massage in a tube!

Its water-based blend of camphor and menthol offers the same effect as Tiger Balm Extra. In addition, a vanishing lavender scent makes Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Rub a practical pain relief solution for any social or office setting. All packed in a no-fuss dispensing tube that is convenient to carry and a great companion even when on the go.

In addition to our balms, sports enthusiasts looking to bring their A-game to the field, track, or gym can rely on our Active line of pain relief gel, spray, and cream.

Taking care of your muscles post-workout is essential. That’s why we created Tiger Balm Active Muscle Gel to relieve muscle discomfort. Made from methyl salicylate and menthol, this pain relief rub offers a cooling sensation upon application. After that, it brings much-needed warmth to alleviate tired, sore, and stiff muscles. Packed in a compact tube, it’s easy to carry along to your next workout or game!

To combat aching muscles in those hard-to-reach areas after strenuous exercises, try Tiger Balm Active Muscle Spray. With its combination of methyl salicylate, menthol, and camphor, this convenient, quick-drying pain relief spray offers comfort for muscle aches, stiffness, strains, and soreness. Simply spray it onto the affected area and rub it in, if desired.

Pre-workout pain relief is equally important. Tiger Balm Active Muscle Rub prepares your body for physical activity so that you can give it your best shot each time. For example, suppose you have stubborn joint strains or achy muscles in the neck or shoulders. A good rub of this pain relief cream will increase blood flow and warm affected areas before your workout. By energizing your cold joints and muscles, you’ll be ready to perform at your peak!

Our gels and creams are neither greasy nor sticky and will not stain your clothing.

Patches

If you’re looking for a cleaner solution, our medicated pain relief patches may be the best solution for you. Ideal for knee, shoulder, neck, and back pain, Tiger Balm Pain Relieving Patches target aches in specific areas for hours. That means you can go about your daily routine free of discomfort! You may also find larger-sized Tiger Balm Patches suitable for lower back pain and aches in other areas that need more coverage.

These stretchable and ventilated hydrogel patches contour to the body, providing a comfortable, breathable fit and optimal pain relief. Best of all, they are clean and low-odor and can be worn unnoticed under clothing.
