This is a formulation that provides gentle warming and stimulates local circulation to promote blood flow and thus, nourishment to areas that need it.  Tendons have relatively poor supply of blood so when they're injured it takes them longer than the more fleshy parts of us to heal.  This liniment helps warm the injured area and promote the flow of blood so that old injuries can have the opportunity to heal.  Herbs in this formulation are warming, opening and help alleviate pain.

Liniments are easy to use and apply and have long shelf life, especially if stored in a cool dark place (like your medicine cabinet!).  I like to spend a couple minutes rubbing the liniment into my muscles, applying *light* pressure with my fingers and a quick back and forth movement.  Once the initial application has been rubbed in, add a bit more and repeat!  You'll find what works for you.

Ingredients:  alcohol extraction of chuan wu (sichuan aconite), tao ren (peach pit kernel), ma huang, zi ran tong (pyrite), mo yao (myrrh), ru xiang (frankincense), da huang (rhubarb root), lu lu tong (sweet gum fruit), zhang mu (camphor wood).
