Genuine Tiger Balm

History of Tiger Balm

Balm owes its origins to a soothing herbal balm prepared for Chinese emperors who had suffered from various aches and pains.

The fact that the formulation, which was to become Tiger Balm, survived into a more enlightened age was due to one man. This was Chinese herbalist Aw Chu Kin, who lived in Rangoon. His desire was to treat his patients the best way he knew. He had studied the types of effective remedies and discovered that the blending of various active ingredients - such as camphor, clove and menthol - really brought relief.

Tiger Balm's formulation makes it effective as a mild analgesic, for countering irritation, and for promoting blood flow.

The entrepreneurial side fell to his two sons Aw Boon Par and Aw Boon Haw. It was Aw Boon Haw who lent his name, meaning Tiger, to the remedy. As well as being an anglicised version of Haw's name, the tiger, synonymous in the East with strength and vitality, seemed the obvious association for such a pain reliever.

They realised the potential of their father's product and together transformed his home-produced remedy into the world renowned brand it is today. Having created the brand name Tiger Balm they moved from Rangoon to Singapore in 1926.

Tiger Balm is one of the world's leading topical analgesics, with a soothing action that relieves muscular aches and pains. Tiger Balm's unique formulation contains camphor, menthol, cajuput oil and clove oil.



Now millions of jars are bought annually throughout the world.
