| Who's never dreamed of a
miracle cure, an old wives' remedy, that can
heal all ailments, body mind and soul? If
westerners dream of it, Asians have already
invented it not so long ago and it's still
in use today. It's 'tiger balm'! |

| Tiger balm exists in 3 forms:
White tiger balm (a gel) aids breathing
and eases pains such as headaches. Red
tiger balm (also a gel) is very popular,
especially with sportsmen and women who use
it to massage tired muscles and relieve tendons
and joints. Tiger liniment (an oil)
has excellent relaxing properties and is used
in all types of massage. |

>> No magic, no witchcraft,
tiger balm is merely a pharmaceutical
compound of medicinal plants that Asians use
daily for all their little aches and pains.
This beneficial product which is well known
in Thailand no longer needs to prove itself
and is an essential item in anyone's overnight
bag.
This precious concoction was originally developed
by ancient healers to ease the ailments of
the Chinese Emperors, but was rediscovered
by a Burmese herbalist from Aw Chu (Rangoon).
Today, tiger balm is known all over the world
and widely used in Asia. This versatile balm
is still made up of camphor, menthol, cajeput
oil and cloves.
Sore joints and muscles, stiff necks, headaches,
breathing problems and all the other little
ailments that trouble our lives find relief
with this gel. The effect of this pain reliever
is partly due to some of its components, which
produce a sensation of heat (from the camphor)
and coolness (from the menthol) when applied
to the body. It immediately alleviates the
intensity of the pain and treats the cause
of the problem long term.
Even if tiger balm is known universally, it
can't always be sold in its Asian form in
some countries where they wish to limit the
dosage of certain of its components by law.
