I am a Tour Manager for a Tour Operator in Southeast Asia, and I am a Tiger Balm addict! Tiger Balm is the quintessential traveller’s tool. I probably use it myself on a daily basis for just about everything from insect bites, travel sickness, headaches, nausea and dizziness.
With long days on my feet, I find it is a great way wind down and to end a day with a gentle calf massage and after lugging a backpack around all day I use it to ease neck tension giving me a better night rest.
I am leading up to 30 people at a time for up to 25 days and they suffer from much of the same symptoms along the way. My clients often laugh as I lather them up with tiger balm, joking I should be a Tiger Balm sales rep! But soon enough even the non-believers will eventually ask if they may borrow some of the remarkable rub! Each time they are equally amazed of its many varied uses and effectiveness.
Occasionally I have those mornings where it is a little harder to get out of bed and face those 30 people who look to me for enthusiasm and feed off my excitement for the day. I quite often apply a little TB to my temples and in minutes my eyes are open, my head feels clear, and I am ready to attack the day with my game face on!
Tiger Balm will always have a place in my backpack or on my shelf and I hope to continue share the Tiger Balm love with anyone who hasn’t experienced it yet. I am thinking about getting a Tiger Balm tattoo… is that a little obsessive ha-ha!
