Herbal ICE is applied to the area and covered to remain there (use gauze and tape or Dimmak Cloth). Herbal ICE is COOLING herbs that reduce the inflammation but also stimulate blood movement and move stagnation, the MOST effective application possible. Regular ice will merely reduce inflammation but stagnate all the fluids and freeze the delicate sinews leading to possible further injury. One major difference in Eastern and Western thinking is that Easterners do NOT apply ice to acute inflamed areas instead limit ice to wiping an area with second long wipes until the area is cool. Inflammation brings lots of fluid and blood to an area to assist in healing. The negative part is that the fluid and blood stagnate there and range of motion is compromised, so the fluids must flow. Herbal ICE can also be applied for up to 12 hours and alternated with SHEN or Bone Comp liniments. This makes for continuous anti-inflammation and blood moving, which equals getting back to life as soon as possible instead of in rehab.

Comes in 4oz or 8oz tins.
