Tiger Balm Muscle Rub is a traditional Chinese medicinal pain relief balm which is designed to provide relief from muscle pain, tension headaches and can be used to clear a stuffy nose by inhaling the fumes. Rubbed directly onto the skin, this natural sports product acts quickly as a mild analgesic which also promotes blood flow. Tiger Balm is an effective remedy made from natural, herbal ingredients which work to relieve the pain caused by tension, swelling and itchiness. The Tiger Balm muscle rub was even used by Gary Barlow on the Red Nose Kilimanjaro climb and is available in White or Red. White has a higher concentration of mint oil, while Red has an aroma similar to cinnamon.
