Tiger Balm White Ointment
What is Tiger Balm White Ointment?
Tiger Balm White Ointment is a traditional remedy used to relieve tension headaches. It contains a blend of natural ingredients like menthol, camphor, and essential oils that provide a cooling sensation to soothe discomfort. This non-greasy balm is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin.
How does it work?
Tiger Balm White Ointment works through a combination of aromatic oils and counterirritants, which distract the brain from pain and promote circulation. Its main ingredients include:
- Menthol - provides a cooling effect that helps relieve pain and clear nasal passages
- Camphor - stimulates blood flow and eases muscular aches
- Clove oil and cajuput oil - have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties
It does not treat the underlying cause of pain but provides quick, temporary relief from discomfort.
How to use Tiger Balm White Ointment
- Rub a small amount onto the affected area 2-3 times daily.
- For headaches, apply to the temples and gently massage.
- For nasal congestion, rub under the nose or inhale the vapour from the jar (do not insert into nostrils).
- Wash hands thoroughly after use and avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
Who can use it?
Tiger Balm White Ointment is suitable for adults and children over 2 years old. It is commonly used for:
- Headaches and tension
- Blocked nose or mild cold symptoms
- Muscle aches, strains, and minor sprains
- Mild itching from insect bites
Who should not use Tiger Balm White Ointment?
Do not use this product if you:
- Are allergic to any of the ingredients (e.g. menthol, camphor, clove oil)
- Have broken or irritated skin in the area you want to treat
- Are under 2 years old
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised by a healthcare professional
Do not apply near the eyes, mouth, genitals, or open wounds. Avoid bandaging tightly after application.
Side effects

- Skin irritation or redness
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Allergic reaction (rare)
Discontinue use if you develop a rash or your symptoms worsen, and seek advice from a pharmacist or doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tiger Balm White the same as the red version?
No. The white version is milder and has a cooling effect, making it ideal for headaches and congestion. The red version is stronger and better suited to muscular pain.
Can I use Tiger Balm White for migraines?
Tiger Balm may help relieve mild migraine symptoms, especially when applied to the temples and neck. It won't treat the root cause but can ease tension.
Is it safe to use Tiger Balm every day?
Yes, you can use it daily if needed. Just avoid overuse or applying to the same area too frequently to prevent irritation.
Can I use it with other pain relief treatments?
Yes, but avoid applying it alongside other topical products in the same area to prevent irritation or interactions. Oral painkillers are usually fine.
