Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Pain Relieving Ointment 18g

Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Pain Relieving Ointment is a topical analgesic designed for temporary relief of pain associated with muscles and joints. 

Active Ingredients:

• Menthol 11%: This is the primary pain-relieving ingredient. Menthol creates a cooling sensation on the skin, which can help distract from the feeling of pain.
• Methyl Salicylate 6%: This ingredient helps create a warming sensation on the skin, increasing blood flow to the area and potentially easing discomfort.
• Camphor 11%: This ingredient, along with methyl salicylate, provides a warming sensation and may also offer some antiseptic properties.
• Clove Oil, Cassia Oil, and Dementholized Mint Oil (small concentrations): These essential oils may contribute to the overall pain-relieving effect and provide a distinct scent.

Uses:

• Provides temporary relief from pain associated with:
  • Muscle aches and stiffness
  • Arthritis (may help manage discomfort, not a cure)
  • Backaches
  • Minor strains and sprains
  • Joint pain

Suitable For:

• Adults and children (age limit may vary, so confirm on the label).

Benefits:

• Targeted Relief: The ointment allows for application to specific areas of pain.
• Fast-Acting: The combination of menthol, methyl salicylate, and camphor may provide quick pain relief due to the cooling and warming sensations.
• Over-the-Counter: Available without a prescription for minor pain relief.

Considerations:

• Strength: "Ultra Strength" indicates a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to regular Tiger Balm. It may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin.
• Skin Irritation: Menthol, methyl salicylate, and camphor can irritate the skin, especially on sensitive areas or broken skin. Do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it more liberally.
• Inhaling Risk: Avoid inhaling the fumes, especially for children and people with respiratory problems.
• Not for Everyone: People with certain skin conditions, allergies to salicylates or menthol, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
• Not a Cure: This medication manages pain but doesn't heal the underlying injury. Rest, support, and physical therapy may be necessary for recovery.

Additional Information:

• The size and amount of ointment may vary depending on the packaging.
• If your pain persists or worsens after using the product for a few days, consult a doctor.
