- (I know, it adds up to 101.75% if you include the ammonium hydroxide. The hydroxide is added as a percent by weight compared to the rest of the ingredients, instead of as a percentage of the total weight).
- Heat beeswax and petroleum jelly in a pot till completely liquefied. Remove from heat, quickly stir in camphor blocks (may help to chop or possibly grate camphor prior). Add in rest of ingredients, stir till consistent, and camphor has melted. 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. This stuff is expensive to make, but is even more expensive to buy:
- 1 ounce. commercial Tiger Balm: $4.991 ounce. homemade tiger balm: $2.38 (in my area)
- A savings of $2.6 1/ounce.
