While the name "Tiger Balm" might lead you to believe that tiger parts are involved, the product is actually made from a blend of natural ingredients, including:
* Menthol: This is the main ingredient and is what provides the cooling sensation.
* Camphor: This provides a warming sensation.
* Clove oil: This has a strong, aromatic scent and is used for its analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.
* Eucalyptus oil: This is used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
* Other essential oils: These are added for fragrance and therapeutic benefits.
Tiger Balm does not use any tiger parts, and the company explicitly states this on their website. The name "Tiger Balm" is a historical reference to the strength and power of the tiger, reflecting the powerful relief the balm offers.
It is important to note that using any animal parts, including tiger parts, is illegal and unethical.
