Tiger Balm -- Pain Relieving Balm and Patches

I was sent a sample of Tiger Balm ointment as well as a envelope with five Tiger Balm patches. First off, the balm’s active ingredients are camphor as well as menthol. The smell is very relaxing and soothing, not offensive or overly strong like other rubs or balms out there. One of the ingredients that is also easy to pick out the scent of is clove. Clove oil also contains analgesic properties.

The balm does exactly what is says it does, it provides temporary relief with strains/sprains and muscle aches. After tough workouts or weight workouts lately I have used the balm the next day to help relax tight tired muscles. The balm is very easy to apply. There is capsicum, the heating ingredient in a chili pepper, which creates the warm sensation you will feel after applying. The balm starts working within being applied after a few minutes or so, gradually warming up. The warming sensation lasts about 45 minutes, however this can be different depending upon how much you use as well as spread around. The balm or patches should not be used on open wounds or broken skin.  Tiger Balm also comes inside patches which are each 4 X 2. 75 inches. These work great on the lower back and shoulders where I have used them on. A great smelling and very effective balm to soothe sore joints and muscles. 

Be entered to win, one full-sized product from Tiger Balm by simply following myself on Twitter @timhakr as well as @Tiger_Balm_US. Then post on Twitter mentioning my blog post about Tiger Balm, using both of us in a tweet.  On Thursday July 28, 2016 at 12 noon a winner will be randomly selected.  Good Luck!

Life goes on, training continues, learning from my mistakes and moving on.

I have lived my life being honest and truthful with everything. It's how my parents raised me and really the best way to live life. I am writing to let my friends, family and numerous followers of my blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts know the result of a video contest I entered over the summer. After sending you many email reminders, requests and begs for votes, I need to inform you all that I did not win the contest. Even after getting the most votes, which I thought -- and had many of you believing -- would help me win the contest. The contest was extended an extra 10 days to help everyone collect more votes and spread the word on social media. I guess I was wrong about trying to collect the most votes. When it came down to it, the votes were not how the contest was decided. The winner was chosen by some other method not clear to me.  Whether it was voting for elementary school class president or voting taking place on a TV show to see who is cast off, voting has always been a way of deciding the outcome of many things with the end result being good or bad, right or wrong.  I guess what I am trying to say is, I am sorry for wasting your time in helping me collect votes when they really never mattered. Yes, for those who are just reading this now, it was for the $500 SLiME video contest, held on their website. How can I compare this to my training and racing? Well, when I enter a race I expect the distances be measured correctly, knowing that if it's a marathon, I am running 26.2 miles, nothing shorter, nothing longer.
So life goes on, training continues, I learned from my mistakes and move on. Thank you to all my friends and family and social media followers.
