Now if you have ever heard of Tiger Balm you most likely have used it for an achy muscle or joint pain, but due to the ingredients it contains it can be used for much more, including headaches. Tiger Balm contains a number of active ingredients including methyl salicylate, menthol, and camphor. Methyl salicylate acts to “numb the skin,” but don’t be alarmed it is mild. Menthol restricts blood vessels in order to decrease inflammation, which causes an instant cooling sensation. A small amount of camphor is used to help improve circulation and either cool or warm the skin. Other versions of Tiger Balm can include more active ingredients such as eucalyptus oil and mint oil. I have found this natural remedy to be much more effective at times than medications such as Advil. Simply apply the balm to your index fingers and massage into your temples and let it sit. You will experience a cooling sensation, and soon relief! But don’t forget to wash your hands after, you definitely don’t want Tiger Balm ending up anywhere you don’t need it.
