Herbal Ice (San Huang San Gao) – Tooth from the Tiger’s Mouth

Description

Herbal Ice (San Huang San Gao) is the premiere external poultice (Gao) for 1st stage sinew and bone injuries that are characterized by swelling, pain, redness, and heat. In Chinese medicine, Herbal Ice is the alternative to using ice because it clears heat and redness (inflammation) while simultaneously reducing swelling and dispelling stasis. Herbal Ice can also be used to treat extensive bruising of large muscle areas. Herbal Ice should only be used until the initial inflammation, heat and swelling are gone or significantly reduced. It is not for long-term use.

External Use Only! Do not use over open skin lesions or rashes.
