comments

There are two main categories of products for external application against musculoskeletal pain: those whose main therapeutic action is to relieve pain and those whose main therapeutic action is to accelerate the healing process. Liniment Zheng Gu Shui belongs to the second category because it is applied to fractures, sprains, dislocations, bruises to speed up the healing process. It stretches with a cotton wool and it is not necessary to rub to make it penetrate. This is a distinct advantage when the injury is painful to the touch.

Any injury should be examined by a healthcare professional. Pain is not a criterion of the severity of the injury. A fracture and dislocation must be treated within hours of the accident.
