A TCM First Aid Kit
These items may be found at your local pharmacy or Chinese herb store, or online at various websites selling Traditional Chinese patent remedies.
These 5 products comprise the foundation:
- Herbal healing salve with typical organic herbs that provide natural antibiotic action to quickly soothe and speed the healing cuts, scrapes, abrasions, rashes, and burns.
- Ching Wan Hung Burn Ointment - invaluable in the kitchen - this ointment stops burn pain almost immediately and is excellent on all types and degrees of burns
- Dit Da Jow Bruise Liniment - provides pain relief and reduces swelling on all manner of bumps, bruises and swelling caused by impact injuries
- Po Chai Pills - the fastest relief for indigestion and hangover - these pills also reduce nausea from radiation therapy and motion sickness
- San Huang San Herbal Ice - magically reduces swelling from the trauma of sprains and strains - far more effective than the traditional ice pack
