Tiger Balm is an ancient combination of herbs that supposedly was used on Chinese emperors. An herbalist in the early 1900s, Au Chu Kin, started marketing this product for the masses, and the lotion was named after one of his sons, whose nickname was "Tiger". The main ingredients are 11% camphor and 11% menthol. In addition, essence of clove, mint, cassia and cajuput are used.

Camphor, a key ingredient, is a herb long used for its muscle-warming abilities. It is able to heat up the skin it's put on. This means the blood vessels open up, bringing more blood to the area. This helps healing and health of the area. Because camphor is so powerful, 11% is the most you can have in a cream according to FDA regulations. Menthol, the other main ingredient, is in essence an anesthetic. It does the numbing of the region, to reduce the pain. The Japanese have used menthol for over 2,000 years. It's derived from the mint plant. This also means it's great to use on bug bites, because it both numbs the itching and brings in blood to help the spot heal.
