Plaster the pain away

immediate pain relief is needed to sooth tired muscles and joints.

Living in a metropolis such as Metro Manila can be taxing.

Everyday stresses could not be avoided especially with horrible traffic facing commuters and motorists alike. Being stuck for hours on the road, commuters may end up with muscle and joint aches from either standing in a jampacked bus or sitting in an uncomfortable position for long hours. It does not help that the demands of balancing work and play could take a toll on one’s well-being.

How does one make a tiring day into a relaxing one? One can exercise, like doing indoor cycling, sweating it out in a stationary bike and releasing accumulated toxins and shedding of even a small percentage of fats in the process.

It is for these reasons that an immediate pain relief is needed. Soothing those tired muscles and joints can make the difference and even salvage an already difficult day and turn it into a more relaxing one at the end of the day.

Would it not be nice to sit down and be soothed while waiting for sleep to kick in?

One of the ways that sleep could be induced is through application of a soothing relief and among those available in the market, one brand says that it can be the answer to all the muscle woes, backed by its more than 50 years of existence.

Tiger Balm’s products have been around for over 100 years because of the benefits these have given consumers in over 100 countries, including the Philippines. It has combined traditional and oriental healing methods, some of which were used in the ancient times by Chinese emperors, with cutting-edge medical research and development made possible by today’s technology.

Its ointments have been made available for some time and it has added another product line in the Philippine market.

The Tiger Balm Plaster is designed to address muscular pain and other aches caused by non-stop stress. Using hydrogel technology on non-woven ventilated material makes the plaster user-friendly, easy to put on and equally easy to remove. Consumers can conveniently carry a pack of it in their bags or knapsacks, and quickly slap on a plaster on a sprained or hurting muscle within seconds. The seamlessness by which the plaster “blends” with the skin is almost soothing, and absent of any annoying tingling (also known as kirot).

The plaster can provide relief for muscular pains, stiff shoulders, contusions, sprains, backaches and neck pains.

Its removal is virtually painless. To professionals, decision-makers, athletes and parents who care about their appearance, another added value is that Tiger Balm plaster does not leave any residue or mark on the skin.
