10 Amazing Uses of Tiger Balm

Today, most people think that Tiger Balm is an old-fashioned grandmother’s remedy.

But people born before the 80s know that it offers many health benefits. Indeed, it is one of the best remedies that has proven itself for hundreds of years.

The original Tiger Balm was created in Burma in the 1870s by a Chinese herbalist: Aw Chu Kin. The balm contains menthol, mint oil, clove oil, cajuput oil and camphor.

Here are 10 uses for Tiger Balm you probably don’t know:

1 – RELIEVES HEADACHES

It is a very good remedy for headaches. Gently massage your temples in small circles with a little Balm and reapply if needed.

2 – PEEL THE STICKERS

So there, you will say to yourself, she went looking far away. And yes, it’s true. You don’t peel off stickers every day (unless you work at Ikea). But hey, let’s move on… Tiger Balm helps remove stickers. There you go.

3 – FIGHT AGAINST SWEAT ODORS

Did you know that it is possible to greatly reduce sweat odors through prolonged use of tiger balm? Apply the balm regularly to the parts of your body that need it and bad body odor will disappear. Instead, you will smell menthol.

4 – AN INSECT REPELLENT

Mosquitoes and wasps hate the smell of tiger balm. Put it in your bedroom and you’ll have peace of mind at night this summer. You will be safe from all flying insects!

5 – INTESTINAL TRANSIT

Are you constipated? Massage your lower stomach with tiger balm! Are you suffering from diarrhea? Apply a small amount of this ointment to the anal area.

6- TOOTAH ACHE

Put a little balm on a clean cloth (or cotton ball) and rub onto the painful area. Miraculously, the pain will disappear almost instantly. It is strongly recommended not to swallow the ointment. You can also apply a little balm to the side of the cheek where it hurts. The essential oils will be absorbed through the skin and tooth roots to soothe your pain for good.

7- DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA

After a busy day or a sleepless night, you may feel dizzy and nauseated. To regain your strength, open a jar of tiger balm and inhale its vapors to relax and regain your senses.

8 – TREAT CORNS ON THE FEET

Corns and calluses on the feet can disappear with regular use of tiger balm. Spread the balm directly on the corn. For greater effectiveness, the balm can be heated to improve penetration. Repeat the operation every day, one to three times a day.

9 – SOOTHES SORE THROATS

If your throat is irritated, apply Balm directly to the throat after warming it in your hands and let it act. It’s not more complicated than that.

10 – WELL RELIEVES RHEUMATISM

For those who have pain problems due to rheumatism, this product can be used as an analgesic. How should you do it? By massaging yourself with it directly on your legs, back or on sore muscles. Apply tiger balm as many times as necessary.
