How It Works

Tiger Balm Red Ointment contains a blend of active ingredients — including camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, and clove oil — that work as counter-irritants. When rubbed into the skin, they create a warming and cooling sensation that helps to distract the brain from deeper pain signals, temporarily relieving discomfort in muscles and joints.
