Still don’t know about the wonder balm – Tiger Balm, and the magic it can do to your body?

The contents of your medicine cabinet are going to shrink significantly this coming winter…

Although winter is a bit delayed this year and extreme weather changes are considered quite normal, we almost all had colds already and many other symptoms caused by all the changes in the weather – like stiff muscles.

I try to stay away from pills as much as possible, and use natural remedies when my body shows me the first signs of illness – like ginger, lemon and honey tea to relieve a sore throat or a cold, drinking a lot of water and getting plenty of sleep.

Another medication that’s completely natural and that helps me avoid taking unnecessary pills is the Tiger Balm.

Tiger Balm is made up of a unique blend of essential oils and other active ingredients like clove oil and menthol.

This product comes in two version – Tiger Balm White and Tiger Balm Red. The red one is more intense, contains additional oils and is intended to help with stronger pains. Since it’s stronger it may cause irritations, so it’s best to start with the white one and if it doesn’t cause any irritation, switch to the red formula for a more intense treatment.

It’s simply magic in a box!

The origin of the Tiger Balm is from an ancient remedy based on a secret recipe that was developed in Burma in 1970 especially for Chinese emperors.

The Tiger Balm formula was developed by the Chinese herbalist Aw-Chu-Kin. His desire to treat patients in the best way led him to create this effective formula that accelerates blood circulation and is used to treat pain.

If it’s good enough for the emperors – then it must be good enough for you, too 😉
