Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• moves Qi and blood
• attacks "cold" blood stasis
• unblocks and warms the meridians and collaterals
• stops pain
• expels wind, cold and dampness – alleviates cold Bi Zheng (rheumatism that improves with heat)

Description:

Run Hua Jing is an excellent blend for external application, light tuina massage or compresses where we need to "warm up" the given area nicely. It can be used either alone or in combination with formulas that support healing and relieve pain, which are taken internally. The combination of internal treatment and external local treatment always has a higher success rate, but most importantly, the patient feels pain relief faster. The basis for this blend is the Xiao Huo Luo Dan formula, which was compiled by imperial physicians in the 11th century. In addition to its original basic warming and moving components (both aconites, frankincense and myrrh), the new locally acting blend also contains other herbs that warm (ephedra, camphor), break up Qi stasis and blood blockages, thereby stopping pain (peach seed, pyrite, rhubarb and camphor) and reducing swelling in the affected area (pyrite and liquidambar). Many of them are used in Chinese medicine specifically for the treatment of trauma – injuries. Camphor, pyrite and frankincense with myrrh have a particularly healing effect on injured tissues. Liquidambar and rhubarb simultaneously act "anti-allergically" on the skin, thereby helping to prevent or reduce any potential unwanted skin allergic reactions.

Because the herbs in the blend are very dynamic, they act deep into the tissues and the blend can also be used for joint and muscle rheumatism that improves with the application of heat, "frozen" shoulder, but also for improving poor peripheral circulation with unpleasant tingling to pain, for example in Raynaud's syndrome or conditions after a stroke.

For acute conditions, for a good effect, we apply 3–4 times/day, for chronic conditions 1–2 times a day.

Indications:

EXTERNAL USE ONLY, do not take internally!!!
