What is it

Tiger Balm patches are a popular topical pain relief option based on ancient Chinese medicine formulas. The main active ingredient in Tiger Balm is camphor, which provides a gentle warming sensation to soothe aches and pains. These patches can be useful for the temporary relief of minor muscle or joint discomfort.

what's the effect

Tiger Balm patches work by activating warmth receptors in the skin, which alters pain signals to the brain. The warming camphor helps override pain signals and reduce their intensity. Increased circulation from the warmth also helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to painful tissues to aid healing. 

How to use

To use Tiger Balm patches, simply apply the adhesive patch to clean dry skin near the source of pain like knees, back, neck, shoulders, temples, etc. The patch can be worn for up to 8 hours before replacing with a new patch. Avoid using more than 2 patches simultaneously or on broken skin. 

Tiger Balm patch users report relief for arthritis pain, sore muscles after exercise, nerve pain, knee/wrist strain, and menstrual cramps. The patches promote relaxation and may temporarily increase flexibility and range of motion. Results vary by the individual and patch placement technique.

In general

While generally safe when used correctly, test a small area of skin first to check for any irritation. Discontinue use if rashes or increased discomfort occur.  For a natural way to ease common aches and pains, Tiger Balm heating patches are a simple option worth trying.
