Trauma Soft Plasters

Trauma Soft Plasters can be spread on gauze and applied to the sites of trauma as long as the skin is not broken. Ointments differ in their ability to move blood, clear heat, relieve pain, reduce swelling and dispel wind-damp. Ma's Wu Shu Soft Plaster (#1) is a good general application to relieve the pain and swelling of first-stage sinew damage. If the pain is prominent, apply Stasis-Dissipating, Pain-Relieving Soft Plaster (#2). If swelling is prominent, apply Dissipation Soft Plaster (#3). If rubor and heat are prominent, apply Double-Cooling Soft Plaster (#4). The above soft plasters can be combined to meet presenting symptoms. Apply Tri-Color Application Plaster (#5) if there are symptoms of cold or damp. Blood-Quickening Soft Plaster (#6) is especially appropriate if swelling and pain are prominent, and heat and rubor are not. If swelling is minimal but pain and aching persists, apply Sinew-Soothing Application Plaster (#7). Available in a 4 oz jar.

Functions: Moves blood, relieves pain, dissipates swelling and dispels wind, damp and cold.

Trauma Hot Compresses

Trauma Hot Compresses are herb formulas that are ground to a coarse powder and sewn into cloth pouches. The 6 compresses are intended for different degrees and types of trauma and bi patterns. Individually packaged. Ma's Post-Trauma Soak-Compress (#8), Pain-relieving Soak-Compress (#9) and Stasis-Dissipating Soak-Compress (#10) are three steam-soaks that are good for second-stage sinew damage. The first is a combination of the two latter formulae and is the best general formula. As the names suggest, Pain-Relieving Soak-Compress (#9) is appropriate if the pain is severe, and Stasis-Dissipating Soak-Compress (#10) is suitable for post-trauma blood stasis (especially blood-stasis joint pain).

The following soak-compresses are appropriate for treatment of either third-stage sinew damage or old injuries. They can also be used to treat patients who have just had their cast removed and suffer from stiffness and aching. Eight Immortals Hardness-Dissipating Decoction (#11) can dissipate hard knots and relieve the aching and tightness that accompanies enduring or third-stage sinew damage. It is balanced in nature, so it can treat wind-damp bi that is either hot or cold. Joint Injury Soak-Compress (#12) is warming. It moves qi and blood, dispels wind and is especially effective for treatment of joint pain. While it is particularly suited for joints, this formula is best used on fleshy areas. Sinew-Penetrating Soak-Compress (#13) is a general formula for third stage trauma especially of the muscles and tendons.

Functions: Moves blood, relieves pain, dissipates swelling and dispels wind, damp and cold.
