"Tiger Balm" ointment comes in 2 types
• clear white (better *non-staining*)
• rusty red (leaves Stains on skin + clothes)
Identical ointment except for color.
White is superior because it won't stain skin or clothing especially with sweat.

comes in 2 types of ointment and also in liquid liniment
works but the ointment jars and linemen bottle are small, but powerful acting
used both red and white ointments personally and never noticed any difference in physical effect on skin.
"But what - apart from the color - are the actual differences between the two? Both products are based on the traditional recipe of the brothers Boon Haw and Boon Par and combine the natural effect of peppermint, menthol, cajeput, clove & Co. Tiger Balm red N also contains cinnamon essential oil as another ingredient in the recipe. Tiger Balm White contains a higher proportion of the active ingredients peppermint and camphor. The two balms differ not only in appearance but also in effect: While Tiger Balm red N warms, Tiger Balm white cools."
No need to be mean. I've heard about various usages of this, some people even say it repels mosquitos because they don't like the smell kek. Was just wondering when people used it and when did they have results: muscle soreness? knee injury? Tendon pain?
if mosquitoes are a daily issue, time to move from that place. otherwise, you use an actual repellent. if at home, you use raid or equivalent spray meant to be used for the intended purpose.
as for the pain types, all of above. it doesn't magically solve every pain with one aplication, but it relieves quite a lot. if.you do have something more serious (sprain, broken shit) please, don't be a moron and go to your doctor. it will aleviate some of the pain, but it won't do shit other than that.

If you mean the “hot” one, it’s fantastic. Always helped me with shit like pulled muscles and stuff like that. Also it’s good to use it as a lube when jerking off. Makes your pp somehow harder (better blood flow maybe?) and the burning sensation is cash.
Yeah it'a fricking junk. Tried it lots playing football and so did a lot of the other guys for strains or inflamed joints. Doesn't do shit but make you smell injured.
kek you madman, i fricked a girl after a massage with this shit once, i had leftovers on my hands and a tiny amount went on my wiener when i grab it. Ater sex I felt an unpleasing warm sensation on the tip of my wiener, but the girl had pussy irritation for 2 days kek
I got hit by a fricking car and it crushed most of my left foot and broke my leg. 6 months later when I could even think about walking this shit loosened up my stiff fricked leg enough to do my own physical therapy during covid when no clinic would touch me. Tiger balm is the fricking shit.
just use horse liniment, all the human-dose tiger balm stuff is for people under 150lbs and doesn't really have any kick to it. bulk order equimax instead.
I have the red one (somewhere) and yeah it works. During an army course my legs were fricking destroyed (nothing but punishment PT, normal PT, rucking, and fricking marching everywhere). So one night I went H.A.M. on the legs with tiger balm (I had it in my kit, my gf gave it to me). First time using it. Put way too much. The shit is absorbed by the skin pretty fast. The menthol or whatever made me have shivers like I was fricking freezing. Slept horribly that night. Layered up with my thermals, sweat pants, ranger blanket and two of the shack blankets. I was sweating bullets and getting turbo dehydrated but still freezing because the "cold" was coming from beneath the skin.
nah, it works
for headaches and sprains
and for nasal congestion
I swear by it actually, one of the few things for pain relief when you don't have an aspirin on you
if you need it before bed and to go to sleep, you absolutely have to wash your sheets in the morning because your bed and room will smell like an sick/injured nepalese base camp
It's basically just mint and garlic extracts in some oils to carry them. In that sense it's not particularly different from other menthol gels or ointments you can get.
Menthol just provides some pain relief since it's a mild local anesthetic. At least IcyHot has some lidocaine in it.
This. I honestly believe "Tiger balm" is just marketing done right. Like in Traditional Chinese Medicine people eat tiger sperm or whiskers or whatever, beliving that some of the "strength" of the tiger passes over to them. I mean look at how many people in this thread swear on it, when it's really nothing special. But it has "tiger" in it, so people think it's strong and powerful or whatever.
King Saul fell on his sword when it all went wrong,
And Joseph's brothers sold him down the river for a song,
And Sonny Liston rubbed some Tiger Balm into his glove,
Some things you'll do for money,
And some you'll do for love, love, love.
No, works like a charm.
What's the difference between both kinds?

No it actually does work, an old Asian guy rubbed it on my tricep tendon and gave me a massage when I strained it really bad. It felt way better.
Did he blow you without teeth?
which one did he use? White one or red one?
>Who told you to put the balm on?!? Do you know what a balm is? Have you ever seen a balm?!”
now did you put the balm on or did they tell you to put the balm on?
no it works decently.
just don't apply to the balls or rectum.
t. this has been the shit in Sweden forever
Which one do you use and when/why?
red only. white is gay version
when/why? is this a joke? when something hurts you fricking moron, when else would you use it?
No need to be mean. I've heard about various usages of this, some people even say it repels mosquitos because they don't like the smell kek. Was just wondering when people used it and when did they have results: muscle soreness? knee injury? Tendon pain?

My grandma rubbed it on my chest when I coughed, I didn't even know that it helps with hurting bodyparts. We used Retterspitz Äußerlich for that.
no it really helps
meh, for sprains or if you just want a burning feeling try horse balm(pferdebalsam)

it fricking stinks
What actually IS tiger balm though?
I know what it does, obviously, but what is it made out of?
camphor, mentol, eucalyptus, clove oil
comes in 2 types of ointment and also in liquid liniment
works but the ointment jars and linemen bottle are small, but powerful acting
>lineman
>liniment*
Goddam Autocorrect
it's like vicks
you know how they make mink oil? its like that
this and its peak
Tigers bro are you dumb
it's great but loses potency quick after opening
Yeah it'a fricking junk. Tried it lots playing football and so did a lot of the other guys for strains or inflamed joints. Doesn't do shit but make you smell injured.
Use A535 or Ben-Gay for serious muscle soreness bc Tiger Balm jar is tiny as frick and expensive for volume you get.
This is the best lube. It stings but a pleasant sting. I recommend.
Are you fricking kidding me?!?!?
You freeaaak, it'd burn your wiener and/or someone's pussy like mf!!!

One time when I was a teenager I tried jacking off with this. It was awful.
Tiger balm has many effective uses
God damn. Shit like this twists my gears every time someone complains about muh fatphobi
Holy shit that's the kind of experience I'd expect from exploring a dungeon in diablo or some shit. Pure filth and sin.

Depends what you mean?
I use the white balm at night for breathing

I like it.
Don’t ever use it right before, or right after, a shower though. You’ll feel like a Buddhist monk self immolating.
