This product is an herbal substitute for ice. In Chinese Medicine, cold can cause more stagnation and lengthen healing time. Inflamation powder is better for reducing inflammation,and allows free flow of Qi and Blood.

I have used this modified version for many years, it was given to me by a Chinatown Doctor (Dr. Chen) in the 1990's after I had a bad injury from stick sparring in my Eskrima class.I have used it ever since,and it has helped me with injuries to ankles, wrists, shoulders, etc.Very effective and has recently gained more attention in treating trauma.
Mix the powder with enough vaseline for one application to the injured area, rub on the area with a even method, cover with plastic wrap around the area,then an ace bandage overnight,then change daily.
