Liniments, Ointments, and Rubs
Sprains, strains, breaks, sore muscles, osteoarthritis, and inflamed physical injuries benefit from an assortment of acupuncture techniques and products to aid the healing process. I will quickly tell you of three of my favorite “rubs.”
Zheng Gu Shui liniment is used for sprains, strains, broken bones, deep bruising, and arthritis. It
penetrates deeply and must be rubbed in for five to ten minutes each time it is applied. I often use it in conjunction with a needling treatment to supple
ment and facilitate deeper healing of an area.
Spring Wind Dr. Shir’s Liniment helps to relieve pain and swelling of sprains and strains, also good for sore muscles and sore and swollen joints when massaged into the area for five to ten minutes.
Traumeel is particularly awesome for inflammation and an analgesic for arthritis and sore muscles. Often times I use Spring Wind Liniment in combination with Traumeel for
arthritic patients and particularly tense muscles and spasms.

I swear by all three of these products….used all three when I had my ACL replaced.
