One of the best products ever. I teach fitness at the gym and often tend to injure myself. Just one application before bed time is all I need.

Arun Pillai - Canada

As a Canadian National Skeleton Athlete- having something that I can depend on to help warm up my muscles and help with muscle pain is huge. Its great before I start my warm-up, and great after when I need pain relief. I love being able to reach for my tiger balm instead of an oral pain reliever. Tiger Balm has been a huge part of my career thus far and will continue to be in the future!

Madison Charney - Canada

Even though I hate to admit it, I am getting old and quite often my joints ache. Tiger Balm is the only product I use to ease my discomfort. And it works.

Feature	Tiger Balm Red Ointment	Other Topical Arthritis Products

Longevity	Ointment base provides longer-lasting coverage, requiring less frequent application	Creams may require more frequent application due to faster absorption

When to Use Tiger Balm Red Ointment Over Pain Relief Creams

Tiger Balm Red Ointment excels when deep penetrating relief with a warming sensation is desired. This pain relief ointment is particularly effective for muscle stiffness and joint pain, providing long-lasting comfort.

The key difference between ointments and creams lies in their base. Ointments like Tiger Balm Red have an oil base that creates a barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and allowing for deeper penetration of the active ingredients. This makes them ideal for conditions requiring prolonged relief, such as arthritis and joint pain. Creams, on the other hand, are water-based and absorb quickly, making them suitable for milder pain or larger areas.

If you are looking for a pain relief ointment that provides long-lasting relief and a warming sensation, Tiger Balm Red Ointment is an excellent choice.
