I often have lower back pain and nerve pain. I have tried many topical pain relievers, but none works as rapidly and has such a pleasant herbal scent. I wish that it came in a very large jar. I highly recommend as a natural and effective pain reliever.

I've been using Tiger Balme since age of 18 when I did my first trip in Thailand. After several hours of trekking deep in the jungle I was so happy to apply the balm both for my muscle pains and mosquito bites. This was such a good experience that I decided to talk about tiger balm first to my friends and soon to all my country with a website: www.achat-baume-du-tigre.com which I’m so proud! Thanks Haw Par for your wonderful balms!

WOW. Just wow. I’ve always had a stiff neck which would lead to headaches here and there, but after using Tiger Balm I can sleep so much better now because I don’t have shoulder nor neck pain. I’m completely amazed and happy to have found this product. It truly does work. Will definitely stock up.

My family swears by Tiger Balm. We use it for absolutely everything! Muscle aches, headaches, mosquito bites, cramps, congestion, behind the ears for a pick-me-up... the list goes on. Thank you for this magic product! It has been my friend since I was a child.

I suffered from knee tendinitis for about 12 years!! Which seriously interfered with my progression in Athletics. Physiotherapy, acupuncture, and pain killers/creams were useless and led me to stop practicing at a national level. I've been using the Tiger Balm Red for about 6 months, every day, twice a day and guess what: I'm back in Track & Field, healthier than ever and I'm currently training for the Nationals. Thank you, Tiger Balm for making products that work; Can't beat the tiger!!

Since I was seven years old and living in Hong Kong, I have carried a pot of Tiger balm in my bag to use for all sorts of common aches and pains. Headache..massage into temples and forehead; muscle aches..massage deeply into sore areas; nausea and dizziness...rub into stomach and inhale deeply to feel better; mosquito repellent...rub into ankles and other exposed areas of skin to baffle and repel nasty mozzies; congested breathing...rub on chest and back, or burn in an oil burner to release vapour to ease breathing. My friends and family know I've always got TB nearby, and that I'm a believer in its wonderful properties-mainly vasodilation to ease tension, inflammation and congestion. Thank you, Tiger Balm!

I had a very bad period pain. Practically every month. Though it says that it helps in reducing the itchiness, the fact that it's warm and has calming scent has led me to use it for a different purpose. It worked like magic! It reduces the menstrual pain, and I never knew we can use it for that! I've been using Tiger Balm for my entire life, and I will continue to support you guys!

I have been a fan of tiger balm since 1956 when I was in the Navy and visited the gardens. Awesome artwork and sculpture. I just today bought my daughter the ointment to relieve her pain from a muscle strain. She felt immediate relief and may be able to sleep nights until she can have the surgery for torn ligaments. My granddaughters husband also uses Tiger Balm Ointment for relief for muscle strain from pitching baseball. Thank you, Tiger Balm.

Bobby Humphrey - United States

I had a motorcycle accident and partially tore a muscle in my left foot. My therapist set it that very day and immediately used Tiger Balm Red on the affected area. That was 20 days ago. Now my muscle has healed, and pain disappeared. I went through 4 bottles of Tiger Balm Red. It saved my muscle and took away loads of pain. Coming from India, I used it as a child, but now as an adult and after my accident I swear by it.

Mark LaPersonne - India

Had back surgery 2007. Prior to surgery I had severe back & leg pain. I used everything I could find on the store shelves to try & find relief from pain. After discovering Tiger Balm years ago, I have never used anything else. I still use it today for Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as my back. Thanks for your product.

Deb Sexton - United States

I have been in the Massage Industry in Australia for about 16 years and during this time I have consistently used Tiger Balm Red and White for such effective relief for my Patients. I advise continued work at home using this wonderful product. Thank You so much

Anton Noles - Australia

I heard about Tiger Balm from the Joe Rogan podcast. I banged my knee pretty bad in Jui-Jitsu, so I went to the store and saw this product that a lot of people swear by. I tried it and I love it. The pain either goes away completely or goes away enough so it won't bother me. Thanks, Tiger Balm!

I play roller derby, which is an extreme contact sport. In tournaments, we are likely to play 5-6 bouts in 2 or 3 days. Aches and bruises are inevitable. Whether I have another hour long game in 20 minutes or 8am the next morning, I know that Tiger Balm's soothing menthol is powerful enough to get my mind off the pain and on to the next game. For our 2014 season--which starts in January for the all-stars--I plan to give Tiger Balm to every team that plays our league. "This stuff is THE BALM."

I have suffered from migraines since I was a teen, and then I was in a near fatal car accident in my early twenties which has left me with lots of body aches and pains. Let me say that Tiger Balm has been a life saver! It is the only topical pain reliever that works. I've tried many different similar products. But nothing works like Tiger Balm. Nothing! Thank you so much. Please don't ever stop making this stuff!
