Personal Recommendation

I first came across Tiger Balm years ago when I was backpacking through Singapore, and had a terribly stiff neck and shoulders. Someone recommended Tiger Balm, a pain-relieving ointment that was devleoped over 100 years ago from ancient Chinese herbal formulations. When applied directly to the skin on my shoulders and neck, I found immediate relief. I have been using Tiger Balm ever since.

These patches are, of course, one of their more modern products, and are very effective for deep muscle relief. You just stick them onto the sore spot, and leave them there for long-acting comfort.

VERY IMPORTANT: Any substance containing camphor (many vapor rubs and cold medicines do) should never be given to children. If accidentally ingested, young children do not have the liver enzymes necessary yet to break down camphor, and in large enough doses, it can be fatal. Applied topically, there are no reported dangers to adults, or even children, but since there is a risk that children might taste/ingest something on their skin, it should be avoided. Also keep in mind that many herbal remedies that are beneficial for adults can be harmful to children. Always consult a doctor before administering herbal remedies to young children.

That being said, rest assured that Tiger Balm has been used safely and effectively in Asia for more than a century.

From the Tiger Balm website:
Tiger Balm Back Warm Patch is a soft, flexible, pain-relieving patch that provides strong, penetrating relief for aches and pains of muscles and the back. Best of all, its pull-and-peel protective film makes it easy to apply and painless to remove. The healing ingredients are then quickly absorbed into the skin to stimulate blood circulation and provide long-lasting relief to the aching back.
