Tiger Balm Recipe
Ingredients: 56-ounce batch
Menthol crystals - 9.6 oz.
Camphor blocks - 15.36 oz.
Bees wax - 9.6 oz.
Petroleum jelly - 1.92 oz.
Oil of clove - 3.8 oz.
Oil of cajuput - 3.8 oz.
Oil of cinnamon - 3.8 oz.
Ammonium Hydroxide - 1 oz. (optional)
Melt beeswax and petroleum jelly in a pot until completely liquefied.
Remove from heat, and quickly stir in camphor blocks (may help to chop or grate camphor prior). Add rest of ingredients, and stir until consistent, and camphor has melted completely.
Pour into permanent container, and let congeal.
The above recipe will make a nice tiger balm equivalent to the commercial white stuff. If ammonium hydroxide is added, it turns red, and adds a little more heat to it.
