Good Morning!
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Trauma Remedies
One of the strongest areas in Chinese Medicine is that of trauma remedies. Cuts,
bruises, lacerations, sprained joints and pain are just some of the daily
problems, which can pop up unexpectedly.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the oldest, continually practiced, and
professionally administered health care system in the world. It is a documented
medical system spanning over 2,500 years based on comprehensive philosophies,
rational theories, clinically tested and empirically verified by over 100
generations of highly educated practitioners. Chinese Medicine is a total system
of internal medicine which is comprised of a diagnostic procedure based on
signs, symptoms and treatment styles including acupuncture, herbal medicine,
exercise, diet and meditation. It's foundation is based on the principles of
balance; the interdependent relationship of Yin and Yang. Through this balance,
health is achieved and maintained.
Herbs are the "medicinals" in holistic healing. Chinese herbs are specifically
used to create a decoction or "tea" and is a very powerful part of healing
dis-ease. Herbal decoctions may also be given in "tea pills", tinctures,
granules or as an external patch, compress, or bath.
"Where there is stagnation, there is pain". Poor circulation is the cause of
1000 diseases. In Chinese Medicine, blood stasis and Qi stagnation reduce the
free flow of blood and vital energy resulting in pain.
Chinese Medicine: Trauma Remedies
Trauma Liniment
"Die Da Jiu Liniment", which literally translates to "hit fall wine" is the
NUMBER ONE remedy for bruises, contusions, sprains and fractures. This formula
was developed centuries ago in kung fu schools to treat bruises and injuries due
to injuries that would occur during daily practice. Soak a cotton ball and press
this herbal formula into the skin where ever trauma to an area has occurred.
Bruises, contusions, sprains, shin splints, repetitive motion injuries and
fractures, (which needs a proper doctor's care after a break), can be treated
with amazing results. This herbal formula, which has been decocted in alcohol,
has been prepared with safe and effective herbs to move stagnation of energy and
blood that occur after injury.
Tendon Lotion
This combination of warming herbs is best used for chronic conditions or old
injuries such as tendonitis, which includes tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, shin
splints, old sprains or reoccurring problems made worse by cold and dampness.
When heat makes your injury feel better, this is the formula for you. Massage
this lotion into affected areas twice a day. This unique blend of Chinese herbs
works deep down into the tendons to stimulate circulation!
Trauma Pills
One of two patented formulas, Liangcai Xin Die da Wan (Tieh Ta Wan) is the
internal counterpart to Trauma Liniment. Taken in tandem with the lotion, these
pills strongly breaks up blockage of blood and fluid due to trauma. It moves
accumulation, which sits in the area of the injury, preventing blood from
congealing in the tissue.
Yunnan Paiyao
Treating open wounds correctly is the best way to prevent scars from occurring.
This patent formula alone helps the flesh regenerate and prevents blood stasis
and infections, which could lead to scarring.
Valuable first-aid remedy for internal and external bleeding, traumatic
swelling, insect bites, nosebleeds, open and infected wounds, ingrown toenails,
spider bites, post-surgical healing, prevents scarring, stops bleeding,
disperses stagnant blood, disinfects and stops some pain. Commonly used for
excessive menstrual bleeding, severe menstrual cramps, ulcer bleeding,
carbuncles. Take capsules both internally and externally by opening a capsule
and sprinkling the powder directly into the wound.
Herbal Ice
Herbal Ice "San Huang San" is composed of three cooling Chinese herbs that
reduce inflammation while dispersing congealed blood and fluids. This is the
single most useful herbal poultice for your first aid trauma kit! This is most
helpful for immediate sprains, strains, turned ankles, muscle pulls, twisted
wrists or severe contusions. Where ever you would use ice, this should be
substituted right away.
When an injury occurs, blood will stagnate in the muscle tissue and often does
not reabsorb back into the system. The blood can congeal and harden, adhering
the muscle fibers together and blocking normal circulation in normal areas,
creating pain and stiffness. Applying ice, can exacerbate this injury in the
long term.
"San Huang San" Herbal Ice is in a Vaseline base and should be gently massaged
into the injury morning and night. Wrap lightly with gauze and cover with an ace
bandage (not too tight). Clean the area before re-applying.
UI Oil
This wonderful massage oil (pronounced "ooh-eee") is used for stiff, sore,
overexerted muscles and joints that are worse with the cold and dampness. This
oil is also great to massage into cold muscles before exercise to help them warm
up and to prepare them for stretching and activity. This patent Chinese formula
comes in a 1 fluid oz. bottle in a protective can.
UI Oil contains the light, warming aromatic oils of cinnamon, peppermint, lilac
oil, and the tree resin "xue jie" also known as "dragon's blood" (a resin known
for its ability to dispel congealing blood and relieve pain). The main
ingredient is the warming herb "ai ye" or mugwort (folium artimisae). Mugwort's
properties penetrate obstruction, activate local circulation and drive out cold.
Black Ghost Oil
This oil, also known as Hak Kwai Pain Relieving Oil is the most deep penetrating
massage oil used for deep bone bruising that occurs in areas where there is
thick muscles overlaying bones. This area is bruised and painful but shows no
visible swelling or discoloration on the surface. This is the MOST effective oil
for this type of injury because it contains very aromatic herbs and oils, which
penetrate this kind of obstruction.

overworked muscles. Back strain, joint pain and even bone spurs can be treated
with plasters.
