About Health Tiger balm was developed during the 1870s in Rangoon, Burma, by herbalist Aw Chu Kin, son of
a Hakka herbalist in China, Aw Leng Fan.
His father had sent him to Rangoon in the 1860s to help in
his uncle's herbal shop. Eventually, Aw Chu Kin himself set up a family business named Eng Aun
Tong meaning "Hall of Everlasting Peace". On his deathbed in 1908, he asked his sons Aw Boon
Haw and Aw Boon Par Thad Boon Sram to perfect the product. By the 1920s, the sons had made it
a very successful business empire in Burma with its runaway success, the Tiger Balm medicinal
ointment.[1] The product is named after Aw Boon Haw, whose name means "Gentle Tiger".
