TIGER BALM : ORIGIN

In the end of nineteenth century, a Chinese chemist named Aw chu Kin who hailed from Rangoon in Burma, did a profound research to find the best way for curing various body pains and ailments. He made a study on various remedial measures which was used by the chemists of ancient Chinese emperors. Aw chu Kin’s scrutiny on remedial measures made him to discover that tiger balm is a mixture of diverse active substances such as camphor, menthol and cloves in a correct proportion.
