Description

Tiger Balm Red Ointment 21ml is a trusted herbal pain relief solution designed to provide fast and effective relief from muscle aches, joint stiffness, and everyday body pain. Formulated with potent natural ingredients such as camphor, menthol, clove oil, and cassia oil, it works through a counter-irritant mechanism that stimulates nerve endings and improves local blood circulation, helping to reduce discomfort at the source. Its warming action penetrates deeply to relax tight muscles, ease stiffness, and support mobility, making it ideal for back pain, arthritis discomfort, and post-exercise soreness. The ointment base ensures sustained release for longer-lasting relief, while its compact 21ml packaging makes it convenient for everyday and on-the-go use.

Features

 

  • Extra-strength formulation for deep-tissue relief
  • Warming counter-irritant action
  • Rich blend of essential oils
  • Slow-release ointment base
  • Distinctive cinnamon-clove aroma
  • Compact, travel-friendly 21ml jar
  • Free from synthetic NSAIDs

Key Benefits

  • Fast-Acting Muscle Pain Relief: The advanced herbal formula acts as a rapid topical analgesic, penetrating the skin quickly to disrupt pain signals. It is highly effective for reducing severe muscular aches and post-workout soreness. 
  • Soothing Warm Relief for Joints: Infused with cassia oil and clove oil, the ointment acts as a counter-irritant, increasing localised blood flow. This creates a comforting, warm sensation that makes it an excellent joint ache remedy for stiffness.
  • Targeted Arthritis Pain Relief: The warming properties help to dilate blood vessels, delivering oxygen and nutrients to inflamed joints. Regular application can temporarily reduce the dull, persistent aching associated with arthritis.
  • Eases Back Pain and Tension: Serving as an effective back pain ointment, the deep-penetrating action helps relax tight muscles in the lumbar and cervical regions, restoring mobility and comfort after long hours of sitting or heavy lifting.
  • Provides Insect Bite Itch Relief: The inclusion of camphor and menthol provides a mild anaesthetic effect on the skin's nerve endings. This rapidly neutralises the urge to scratch and reduces inflammation from mosquito and insect bites.
  • Aids in Muscular Strain Recovery: By acting as a warming herbal muscle rub, it accelerates the body's natural healing process for minor sprains and strains by keeping the affected tissues warm and oxygenated.

Directions for Use

For optimal results and to maximise the soothing warm relief, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the affected area is completely clean and dry before application.
  2. Using clean fingers, take a pea-sized amount of the Tiger Balm extra strength red ointment.
  3. Rub the ointment onto the affected area using circular motions. Massage gently for 1–2 minutes until fully absorbed into the skin.
  4. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid accidental contact with your eyes or mucous membranes.

 

Frequency: Apply 3 to 4 times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Age Advisory: Suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age.

Pro Tip: For enhanced back pain or arthritis pain relief, place a warm, dry towel over the treated area after application to trap the heat and push the essential oils deeper into the muscles.

FAQs

Tiger Balm Red Ointment 21ml is a potent topical analgesic primarily used to temporarily relieve muscular aches, joint pain, backaches, and arthritis pain relief. Its blend of herbal ingredients like camphor and cassia oil provides a soothing warm relief that deeply penetrates tissues to ease stiffness and reduce discomfort.

While both are effective pain relievers, they serve different purposes. The original red Tiger Balm contains Cassia oil (cinnamon), which generates intense heat, making it ideal for deep muscle pain and joint ache remedies. Tiger Balm White has a higher menthol concentration, providing a cooling effect better suited for tension headaches, nasal congestion, and mild sprains.

It is generally not recommended to use the Red variant for headaches due to its intense warming properties and strong cassia oil content, which can be highly irritating if it gets near the eyes. Tiger Balm White is specifically formulated and widely recommended for tension headaches.

You can safely apply the ointment to the affected back muscles 3 to 4 times a day. Be sure to massage it in thoroughly until absorbed. If your pain persists for more than 7 days despite regular application, please consult a healthcare professional.

Because it contains high concentrations of essential oils like camphor and clove oil which can be absorbed through the skin, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their obstetrician or healthcare provider before using this or any other topical analgesic.

This product is safe for children over the age of 12. For children under 12, especially infants and toddlers, you must consult a paediatrician before use, as children's skin is highly sensitive to potent ingredients like camphor and menthol.

Yes. Like all therapeutic products, the original red Tiger Balm has an expiration date, usually 3 to 4 years from the date of manufacture. Using it past the expiration date is not harmful, but the essential oils will have evaporated, significantly reducing its pain-relieving efficacy.

The warm sensation is due to counter-irritant ingredients like cassia oil, clove oil, and camphor. They stimulate the nerve endings in the skin to produce a feeling of heat, which dilates blood vessels and distracts the brain from underlying muscle or joint pain.

Yes, the reddish-brown colour derived naturally from the Cassia (cinnamon) oil can potentially stain light-colored clothing or bed sheets. It is recommended to let the ointment fully absorb into the skin before covering the area with fabrics.

Absolutely. Many athletes use it as a pre-workout warm-up rub. The soothing warm relief helps to increase localised blood circulation, warming up stiff muscles and potentially reducing the risk of strains during vigorous physical activity.
