In it was a triumph, today it is somewhat forgotten. Our mothers and grandmothers spoke with delight about the “cat ointment”, also known as tiger ointment, and it could not be missing in home cosmetic bags. The inconspicuous packaging hid a wealth of natural ingredients that are still worth using today. What else makes it a phenomenon of sorts? It turns out it has a range of uses, and you’ll only pay about 13 PLN for one package.
What is tiger balm good for? You can use it in many ways
In the Polish People’s Republic, tiger ointment was helpful for many problems. For example, we are talking about headaches, muscle pain, muscle soreness or insect bites. The only thing you need to be careful about is not to apply the product to open wounds, around the eyes or mucous membranes. You also need to bear in mind that pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use the ointment with cat. Even a small strip of ointment is enough to relieve your symptoms.
ADVICE! Before using any new skin products for the first time, it is worth doing an allergy test. It is no different in the case of the “cat ointment”. This way you will be sure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients of the product.
