For many people, the tiger balm is an absolute go-to product. In asian homes, it is quite common to use use to relieve muscle pain or headaches. Some copycats became aware of the potential of this product and decided to copy this incredible product. But if you find the traditional balm, you’ll be able to do wonders. 

How to use :

Using the product properly is as important as its quality! You shouldn’t ever try and swallow it. Also try to avoid irritation of mucous membranes by keeping the balm away from all these areas.

You shouldn’t massage it into your skin, it won’t penetrate the skin as other product would. You have to allow it to become warmer by rubbing it onto your skin using the edge of your hand (as if you were trying to cut the area with your hand).

The different uses

1) On a mosquito bite

To get rid of the itchy feeling you get out of the bite (and compulsive scraping), apply the balm directly onto the bite.

2) As a repellent

You can put an open tiger balm jar in each corner of the room to make sure no mosquito or any other bug will bother you during your sleep. Indeed, bugs just really loathe the smell of tiger balms.

3) Against termites

To kill termites, put some tiger balm in the holes you’ve spotted.
