Liniments
Liniments are most effective when applied correctly. For use on general areas including sore muscles, warming up tendons, and removing bruises-
Apply liberally directly to and around the area
Massage to slight discomfort toward the heart, as stagnate blood must return
The alcohol in the liniment is acting as a lubricant
Massage the area until the lubricant is evaporated and repeat twice minimum
For areas of bone fractures, severe injury to muscle and tendons, and areas that are too tender just apply liberally in a large area around and on the area using a gentle rub.
Liniments for are for external use only and should not be applied where the skin is open, on the face, or on very sensitive skin.
Apply at least twice and apply 2-3 or more times a day until condition improves or cured
When using warm formulas and it irritates your condition, you should discontinue use and use a less warm formula (i.e. SHEN). If irritations continue to persist discontinue use all together.
Use these directions to compliment the instructions on the formula you have.

Some formulas require you to apply a thick paste over the area and cover with gauze or Dimmak CLOTH
