Thus, it is no surprise that Thailand supplies the world with their highly sought-after medicinal gels and ointments. But what are these products, and how effective are they? Let us take a close look at some of them.

1.   Tiger Balm (gel)

Tiger Balm is a renowned brand in the world of pain relievers. It is believed that it was created by an Asian man (of Chinese descent) who thought that pain relievers should be accessible by anyone, irrespective of their caste, creed, or financial capabilities.
 
It traces its roots back to Chinese medicine. It is also found to be quite effective against respiratory ailments, headaches, and muscle pains. This is why it can be applied in a variety of ways.
 
To relieve painful muscle and joint pain, just apply a bit of the gel on the affected area and leave it. The gel's active ingredients (mint, cloves, camphor, cajeput essential oils, among others) permeate the skin and work wonders in relieving pain from inflamed muscles.

 

 
For respiratory issues like cold and flu, simply apply a small amount of gel under the nostrils and breathe in. This will open up your airways and make it easier to breathe. The oils of Cajeput are also well-known for their ability to treat respiratory illnesses.
 
Take a dab of the gel and gently massage it around the affected region if you have a severe headache. This will allow the oils to penetrate the skin and offer relief from headaches.
