Arthritis, Joint Pain (关节)

Seventy-plus lines, and the range our regulars know best. It covers three quite different traditions side by side: the hit-medicine liniments that martial arts schools have used for generations — Zheng Gu Shui, Kung Fu Oil, Dit Da Jow — the adhesive plasters and patches from Yunnan Baiyao, Hisamitsu and Tongrentang, and the internal formulas from Black Pearl and Baiyunshan that a practitioner might prescribe alongside them.

Choosing between them

Liniments are applied and rubbed in, and most are warming. Plasters stay in place for hours and suit a specific spot such as the neck, knee or lower back. The two are often used at different times of day rather than instead of one another.

We also stock the individual herbs — du zhong, gu sui bu, sang ji sheng — for anyone cooking to a practitioner’s prescription.
