Sometimes when treating patients, we apply an oil called “Po Sum On”. But what exactly is in the oil that makes it work so well? And why is it better than the OTC creams and lotions? Look at these ingredients and the choice is crystal clear!
The oil has a combination of natural items that not only help reduce inflammation but also subdue pain and swelling. The main 2 ingredients you will notice when the oil is applied are peppermint and cinnamon oil. The minimal ingredients are: Baikal Skullcap Root(Huang Qin), Chinese Licorice Root(Gan Zao), Cinnamon Oil, Dragon’s Blood Resin(Xue-Jie), Peppermint Oil, Tea Oil.
Comparatively, OTC creams are FULL of chemicals. A leading pain cream on the market lists the following ingredients: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer,Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice,Aminomethyl Propanol,C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer,Caprylyl Methicone,Cetearyl Alcohol,Ceteth-20 Phosphate,Dicetyl Phosphate,Dimethicone,Disodium EDTA,Ethylhexylglycerin,Glyceryl Stearate,Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer,Isohexadecane,Methylparaben,Polysorbate 60,SD Alcohol 40 (15%),Steareth-21,Water.
