Tiger Balm Patches — Localized Muscle and Joint Pain Relief, x3

The relief of Tiger Balm in a prolonged application with Tiger Balm Patches: a pack of 3 adhesive patches (10×14cm) infused with long-lasting red Tiger Balm. Gradual release of active ingredients (camphor, menthol, clove oil) for 4 to 8 hours for lasting relief from localized muscle and joint pain. No prescription required.

How do Tiger Balm patches work?

Tiger Balm's active ingredients (primarily camphor and menthol) work via counter-irritation—a well-documented mechanism in neurology where cutaneous thermal stimulation by topical agents activates C and A-delta fibers to saturate nociceptive receptors and block the transmission of pain signals to the cortex (Melzack and Wall's gate control theory). Camphor activates TRPV1 receptors (warmth thermoreceptors) and creates a sensation of heat that dilates local capillaries, improving blood circulation and oxygen supply to muscle tissue. Menthol activates TRPM8 receptors (cold thermoreceptors) and simultaneously creates a cooling analgesic sensation. This dual hot-cold counter-irritation stimulation is particularly effective for contractures, muscle tension, and superficial joint pain. The patch format guarantees a prolonged and continuous release of the active ingredients on the targeted area.

Benefits of Tiger Balm Patches

• Localized and lasting relief: the gradual release of active ingredients for 4 to 8 hours provides continuous relief without needing to reapply every hour like standard balm. Ideal for daytime use (work, sports) or at night to treat nocturnal contractures.
• Clean and practical application: the adhesive patch is applied directly to the skin without manual contact with the balm—no smell on the hands, no residue on clothing. Can be worn discreetly under clothes. The 10×14cm size effectively covers large areas (back, thighs, shoulders).
• Precise targeting of painful areas: the patch can be cut to fit difficult areas (neck, knee, ankle). The heat generated remains localized to the application area without systemic diffusion.
• Ideal for athletes and active individuals: apply before exercise to prepare muscles, after exercise to reduce soreness, or during chronic pain (neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain).

Composition

How to use Tiger Balm Patches?

Precautions and contraindications

• Do not apply to broken skin: wounds, burns, dermatitis, eczema — risk of severe irritation.
• Children under 12 years: do not use (camphor and menthol are contraindicated).
• Pregnant women: not recommended without medical advice (camphor).
• Epilepsy: camphor is convulsant at high doses — do not apply over large areas.
