Tiger Balm is a traditional Chinese liniment which has been used for centuries to relieve mild muscle and joint pains. The topical balm is formulated from natural ingredients, including plant extracts and essential oils.
Tiger Balm White is the milder of the two Tiger Balms and, unlike Tiger Balm Red, does not penetrate deep into the muscles. It is available in a small, easy-to-carry pot.
Tiger Balm White is used to treat tension headaches (when applied on the forehead and temples).
Tension headaches can be brought on by:
Tension-type headaches are the most common form of headache, causing persistent pain on both sides of the head.
Speak to your doctor before using Tiger Balm White if you are unsure whether you are experiencing a tension-type headache.
You can also use Tiger Balm White to treat mild muscle pain, such as neck and shoulder pain.
If you are unsure whether to use Tiger Balm White, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Studies have shown that the combined effect of these extracts in Tiger Balm effectively relieves minor aches and pain when massaged into the affected area.
A randomised controlled trial of 57 patients showed that Tiger Balm had a significantly greater analgesic effect than placebo, similar to the effects of paracetamol.
You can buy Tiger Balm White over the counter from pharmacies, supermarkets and health food shops.
If you can’t get out to buy Tiger Balm White, you can buy Tiger Balm from Prescription Doctor. If your order is approved before 3pm on a weekday, our pharmacy can dispatch the items via discreet next-day delivery.
Tiger Balm White contains a combination of essential oils and herbal extracts that can help alleviate the pain associated with tension headaches.
The ingredients of Tiger Balm White include:
Clove oil has a mild pain-relieving effect. It is used to treat various kinds of pain, including toothache.
Levomenthol relieves itching and irritation caused by bug bites.
Camphor and Cajuput (also known as Cajeput) oil are counterirritants. They work by causing localised inflammation and irritation in one area to reduce inflammation and pain in another.
Always use Tiger Balm White as instructed in the patient information or as described by your doctor or pharmacist.
For muscular aches and pains (for adults or children over the age of two years): Apply Tiger Balm White to the affected areas of the skin as needed, typically 2 to 3 times a day.
For tension headaches (Adults only): Apply a pea-sized amount of Tiger Balm White to the forehead or temples and gently rub it in circular motions. Repeat this application after 30 minutes and one hour.
If your headache persists for longer than 24 hours or returns intermittently throughout the week, consult your doctor.
Do not apply a double quantity of the balm for a missed application.
