Complete the medicine cabinet.
Why this still exists at Fairview.
Tiger Balm has been made since the 1870s, using a formula rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that combines camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, clove oil, and cassia oil. The White formula is the milder, cooling counterpart to Red. Where Red brings deep heat for arthritis, White brings cooling relief for headaches, mild aches, insect bites, and sinus congestion.
For tension headaches, applying a pea sized amount to the temples and the base of the skull provides relief that often outperforms oral medication. The cooling sensation calms the muscular and vascular components of headache pain in a way that surprises people the first time they try it.
White for headaches. Apply to the temples and base of skull and it works remarkably well. Patients who came in for migraine medication have called back to tell me Tiger Balm White cut their reliance on Excedrin in half. The cooling sensation calms the muscular component of tension headaches in a way that surprises people. Keep one of each Red and White in the medicine cabinet. You will use both.

Questions, answered.
Is this the original formula, or a modern reformulation?
This is the original formulation. Fairview sources every heritage product direct from the manufacturer to confirm authenticity. We do not stock relabeled or reformulated alternatives. If you have been using this product for decades, this is the same one you remember.
How soon will my order ship?

What is your return policy?
Unopened products in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. For safety reasons, opened products are not returnable. If something arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 7 days and we will make it right.
Can I take this with my prescription medications?
Some heritage products, particularly the iron containing tonics and any product with alcohol, can interact with prescription medications. We strongly recommend a free pharmacist consultation before ordering if you take any prescription medication. Call or use the Ask the Pharmacist form on the site.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Heritage remedies vary in pregnancy safety. Topical products like Bag Balm and Bactine are generally considered safe. Iron tonics and any product containing alcohol require physician guidance during pregnancy. Before ordering during pregnancy or breastfeeding, please request a free pharmacist consultation so we can review your specific product.
Build the medicine cabinet your family deserves.
Heritage remedies were never meant to stand alone. Most families build out their medicine cabinet across the four sub categories: cough and chest, pain and muscle, tonics, and skin and wound. Combine 3 to 4 products to clear the $50 free shipping threshold.
