Tiger balm is a special and natural balm that you can make at home based on the recipe in the book "Do it yourself Eco Mom". But what makes it so special and why should you try it?
This balm can come in handy in several ways:
- You can enjoy its scent as therapy: The essential oils used in the preparation of tiger balm, such as menthol and eucalyptus, can be refreshing and invigorating. You can use it for inhalation or massage for refreshment.
- To relieve breathing problems: If you have breathing difficulties caused by a cold or allergies, inhaling tiger balm can help relieve the symptoms. A few drops of this balm over steaming hot water or used in an inhaler can bring relief.
- In cold weather for a general pleasant skin feeling: Cold weather can take a toll on our skin and cause it to dry out. Tiger balm contains natural humectants that can help hydrate and protect the skin.
