Description Technical Specs More Information   Tendon Warming Soak contains warming herbs that strongly increase local circulation and drive cold and damp out of injured tissue. Many of these herbs also reduce pain. It should be used only where the muscle or joint is stiff, painful, and sensitive to cold. Do not use if there is any residual heat or inflammation in the area. If use of this soak increases the pain, then it is usually because there is some residual inflammation. Discontinue and try more neutral or cooling remedies. This package makes 1 soak that will last 7-10 days. Instructions for use: Put herbs in a pot large enough to cover the injured area. Add 1-2 gallons of water. There must be enough room in the pot to cover the injured area. If the injury is to the foot or hand, enough water should be added to cover the ankle or wrist as well. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25-45 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove. If the injury is to an extremity, you can bathe the affected part in the steam as the liquid cools. This warms the area and allows the steam to penetrate the superficial tissues. When the soak has cooled sufficiently- it is warm but not uncomfortably hot- soak the injured part for 15-20 minutes. If the injured area does not fit into the pot, soak towels in the liquid, let them cool briefly, and put them over the affected area. The towels will cool fairly quickly, so you will need several to keep a warm, penetrating heat on the injury for 15-20 minutes. After using the soak, dry the skin and keep it warm and away from cold or drafts. Cover the pot. The soak can be used once or twice a day for up to 7 days. Simply reheat the liquid to a sufficiently warm temperature. There is no need to boil it again. As long as you keep the pot covered and reheat the soak every day, the liquid will not get moldy. Leave the herbs in the soak to increase the strength of the herbal mixture. Vinegar and alcohol are often added to herbal soaks to enhance their therapeutic effect. Add a quart of rice wine or vinegar to the soak after you have simmered the herbs and removed the pot from the stove. Vinegar softens spasms in the muscles and tendons and "smoothes out" the flow of energy through the injured area. Alcohol warms tissue and increases the local circulation by moving qi and blood through the blood vessels and meridians.   Features Very warming Treats stage 3 sinew injuries where the area is painful and sensitive to cold or hurts more in cold weather. Relaxes tendons Warms and increases circulation to the local area
