Customer Reviews

I suffered with neck and shoulder pain for many years. I tried all of the typical over-the-counter rubs, gels, and sprays, including CBD. Nothing helped. My wife, who is a Singapore citizen, suggested I try Tiger Balm Liniment. After using it, I got immediate and lasting relief. Tiger Balm Liniment works!

Tiger Balm Liniment Ingredients

Curious about what makes Tiger Balm Liniment so effective? Its power lies in a carefully crafted blend of ingredients, each chosen for its unique therapeutic properties. Let’s delve into the key components that make this oil a trusted source of pain relief:

Active Ingredients

These two active ingredients work synergistically to provide fast-acting and long-lasting relief:

  • Methyl Salicylate 28%: This topical analgesic creates a warming sensation that helps to relieve muscle and joint pain, reduce inflammation, and increase blood circulation.
  • Menthol 16%: This topical analgesic provides a cooling sensation, helping to soothe aches and further reduce inflammation.

Inactive Ingredients

Beyond the active ingredients, Tiger Balm Liniment includes a selection of inactive ingredients that enhance its overall effectiveness and sensory experience:

  • Eucalyptus Oil: Beyond its refreshing scent, eucalyptus oil can also contribute to the liniment’s pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Spike Lavender Oil: This essential oil contributes to the liniment’s pleasant aroma and may offer calming and relaxing benefits.
  • Light Mineral Oil: This serves as a carrier oil, ensuring smooth application and even distribution of the active ingredients for optimal absorption and effectiveness.

Types of Liniments

Liniments are typically classified into two main categories based on their ingredients and effects:

Oily Liniments:

  • Composition: These liniments are primarily composed of oils, such as vegetable oils (like olive or coconut oil) or mineral oils. Tiger Balm Liniment falls into this category, utilizing light mineral oil as its base.
  • Effects: Oily liniments are known for their warming sensation, which is generated by the oils’ ability to trap heat against the skin. This warmth can help to soothe sore muscles, increase blood circulation, and relax stiff joints.
  • Applications: Due to their lubricating properties, oily liniments are well-suited for massage. They can also be applied directly to the skin for pain relief. Their warming effect makes them particularly beneficial for conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and general stiffness.

Alcoholic Liniments:

  • Composition: As the name suggests, alcoholic liniments contain alcohol as a key ingredient. The alcohol acts as a solvent, dissolving the active ingredients and facilitating their absorption into the skin.
  • Effects: Alcoholic liniments are characterized by their cooling sensation. This is because the alcohol evaporates quickly, drawing heat away from the skin. This cooling effect can be beneficial for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and providing a refreshing sensation.
  • Applications: Alcoholic liniments are often used for acute injuries, such as sprains and bruises, where reducing inflammation is a primary goal. They can also be used for muscle soreness and stiffness, although their cooling effect may not be as desirable for some individuals.

Tiger Balm Liniment vs Other Liniment Oils

Tiger Balm Liniment distinguishes itself from other liniment oils through its unique blend of herbal ingredients. While many liniments rely solely on methyl salicylate, Tiger Balm Liniment incorporates menthol and essential oils like eucalyptus and spike lavender to provide a multi-faceted approach to pain relief. This combination offers not only effective pain relief but also a soothing and aromatic experience.

How to Spot Fake Tiger Balm Liniment Oil

As with any popular product, counterfeit versions of Tiger Balm Liniment may exist. To ensure you’re purchasing a genuine product, buy from authorized retailers listed on the Tiger Balm website. Look for the official Tiger Balm logo and packaging, and be wary of suspiciously low prices or unusual sellers.
