Bai Hu Gao Herbal Ice
Manufacturer: CDIA, Shifu Dale Dugas
MedicineBai Hu Gao (White Tiger Paste) "Herbal "Ice" is composed of cooling Chinese herbs that help reduce inflammation while dispersing congealed blood and fluids. This is the most useful herbal poultice for your first aid trauma kit! This paste/balm can be used for immediate sprains, strains, turned ankles, muscle pulls, twisted wrists or severe contusions. Whatever injury you would use ice on, use Bai Hu Gao and see more results with less risk over using ice!

When an injury occurs, blood and lymph fluid will stagnate in the muscle tissue and often times does not get reabsorbed by the body's natural regulating systems.

This blood can adhere to the muscle fibers blocking normal circulation of not only blood but Qi flow as well, creating pain and stiffness. Applying ice can not only exacerbate these forms of injuries but lead to issues in the future. Bai Hu Gao will reduce swelling and speed healing without causing any issues.
