Benefits

1. Aches and strains

Ingredients in the balm, such as camphor, increase blood flow to the skin's surface, creating a warming sensation that can distract from pain and stiffness. Camphor and menthol may also improve blood circulation to the muscles, potentially speeding up healing time and reducing inflammation.

2. Tension headaches

Balm to the forehead was more effective at relieving tension headaches than a placebo. It was almost as effective as taking acetaminophen (Tylenol).

3. Colds and congestion

The balm contains ingredients that may help relieve sinus and chest congestion. For centuries, some have been used in oils, ointments, and inhalant forms to ease congestion from colds and allergies. Camphor acts as a mild expectorant, nasal decongestant, and cough suppressant. Menthol may help soothe irritated nasal passageways, helping to relieve stuffy noses.

4. Back pain

People frequently use balm to relieve back pain, especially pain in the lower back. Some use certain ingredients in balm before or after receiving alternative treatments for back pain, including Gua Sha therapy.

5. Neck and shoulder tension

Balm may help reduce neck and shoulder pain. Men and women with mild to moderate muscle strain used patches containing a 10 percent methyl salicylate and 3 percent menthol formulation. The participants used the patches on multiple regions, including the upper shoulder and neck. Twelve hours after applying their patches, the participants experienced, on average, a 40 percent reduction in pain, compared to the 103 control subjects who used placebo patches.

6. Joint pain

Little specific evidence supports the use of balm to relieve joint pain. However, many people use the balm to ease aches and pain related to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis causes bones to lose density and brittle over time, leading to joint pain. People with osteoarthritic knee joint pain found that 352 participants used rubs, such as Chiltan Pure Balm, to reduce the pain. Balm seems to help relieve joint pain, but the active ingredients may numb the area and reduce swelling.

7. Muscle pain

the balm can help muscle pain in several ways: Camphor and menthol can increase blood circulation to the muscles and surrounding area.

8. Arthritis pain

Although many rub balm on areas affected by arthritis, the exact mechanism of how it works for the condition is unknown. But it may be due to the anti-inflammatory effects of menthol, capsicum, and cassia oil. It may also be because the balm is a counterirritant, temporarily distracting you from arthritis pain.
