Mas Post-Trauma Soak-Compress #8 1 compress

Manufacturer: Spring Wind

This formula is a modification of a combination of hai tong pi tang, and wu jia pi tang. Those decoctions concentrate on moving qi and blood, dispelling cold-damp and relieving pain. This modification is slightly warmer than either of its two components. This is a good general treatment for all second-stage sinew damage as long as swelling has substantially decreased. In light cases this soak-compress can be used three days after insult, but in most cases it is best to wait for five to seven days before employing a steam-soak. Use this soak-compress after swelling has dissipated and what remain are blood stasis, stiffness and limitations of joint movement.
