The ORIGINAL Formula of the GREAT Tiger Balm
At age 60, I have osteoporosis in my lower back where an old injury fractured a few vertebra. Every day I wake up with significant lower back pain. But Tiger Balm gets me through the first couple of rough hours every day.The original formula of Tiger Balm from Thailand is offered here. It is better than the US formula because the Thai Tiger Balm contains a higher percentage of the active ingredients, such as camphor.On particularly bad days, I augment Thai Tiger Balm with its companion product called Thailand Golden Cup Balm. That other balm is much like American BenGay but more potent.I apply Tiger Balm first. Then I apply Golden Balm over the same area. Both in combination are very effective. It saves me from resorting to pain medication.You can find Golden Balm at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FRVWP8/ref=asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Exactly as advertised, delivered through exceptional service!
My spouse and I used both red and white TIGER BALMs over many years, until it became difficult to find in our area .After reading many, many reviews on all of the various formulas of BALM, I decided to purchase from Give or Buy, sending from Thailand. I learned they make the orders individually, then send them forward. I ordered October 4th, and was to expect it about Nov. 19th. I just received --Oct. 30th!-- my 3 (30g each) jars of Red Ointment, plus 3 (30g each) jars of White Ointment Headache Remedy. They come in the same wonderful GLASS jars with stamped metal lids, each in the mysterious box I associate with quality and a comforting relief for aches and pains!This package came in two small stacks of 3,shrink-wrapped together, in an unpadded, waterproof postal mailer and a Swiss postal sticker, and 1 box only has a tiny dent in the lid! From THE ORIENT! Get your local mail in that good shape?! We don't!THANK YOU GiveOrBuy! The boxes also have manufacturing dates--May and June, 2019 and each set expires 4 years hence in 2023. Both red and white balms contain 25% camphor, the first ingredient listed. Super product and superior service!

Awesome product!
This is a great deal! I love this product! These jars a bigger than the ones sold in the states.Some people complain about the scent but, I have used this product for so long I actually LIKE the scent.The only drawback from this product is that it is from Thailand and does take a while to arrive but, completely worth the wait!

It is not the original formula and causes allergies
It caused me a lot of rashes and allergies. I checked the original formula of Tiger Balm, and it only has menthol and camphor. This one has additional elements, and it took me a while to realize it.

Not as strong as advertized...no improvemt over current US formulation
I bought these because the ad seemed to indicate these were made with the old original formula for Tiger Balm. That formula was MUCH strong and gave me a lot more pain relief. Unfortunately this version did not feel any different from the current day US formulation. It still helps so that is good. It is simply not as strong as the original formula.

30g jars Yay! May be old, stronger formula?
After waiting over a month through this pandemic to finally get it, the outside packaging looks almost identical to the 0.63 oz/18g jars. Manufactured in Thailand under license from Singapore. English list of ingredients: 25% Camphor, 10% Menthol, 7% Cajuput Oil, 6% Dementhollised Mint Oil, 5% Clove oil, 5% Cassia oil, q.s. Paraffin & Petrolatum. Hoping this is the old formula which is stronger than that sold in chain pharmacies.

Must have in medicine cabinet.
Tiger Balm is an age-old Chinese balm that reduces black and blue marks, or prevents them by rubbing onwhen you've burned yoursel, place hand under ice water, then rub with Tiger Balm and no black/blue marks. The secret is it allows the blood to disperse. // Save gas by simply ordering it via Amazon; same price!

Great for aches and pains
Smells good, cinnamon type smell. I've only ever used the white kind and I love it also. They both work great, though this seems a little milder. Still effective though. Good product. Love the larger jars and it absorbs well.
