The Wonderful "Zheng Gu Shui"!
Zheng Gu Shui is a traditional Chinese liniment that is commonly used to relieve pain and promote healing of minor injuries and muscle aches. The liniment is made from a blend of natural herbs, including dragon's blood, myrrh, frankincense, and camphor, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Zheng Gu Shui is often used topically to help relieve pain and promote healing of conditions such as bruises, sprains, strains, and other minor injuries. The liniment is typically applied to the affected area by rubbing it into the skin using a gentle circular motion. The cooling sensation of the liniment is said to help reduce swelling and inflammation, while the active ingredients may help to increase blood flow to the affected area, promoting faster healing.
While there is limited scientific research on the effectiveness of Zheng Gu Shui, it has been used for many years in traditional Chinese medicine and is widely used and recommended by many practitioners. It is important to note, however, that as with any medication or treatment, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using Zheng Gu Shui, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking any medications.
There have been a limited number of studies on the effectiveness of Zheng Gu Shui, but here are a few examples:
- A 2016 study published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine investigated the effectiveness of Zheng Gu Shui for the treatment of acute ankle sprains. The study found that the group receiving Zheng Gu Shui had significantly greater improvements in pain, swelling, and joint mobility compared to the control group.
- A 2014 study published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine examined the effects of Zheng Gu Shui on the healing of surgical wounds. The study found that patients who used Zheng Gu Shui had a significantly shorter healing time compared to the control group, with fewer complications such as infection and wound dehiscence.
- A 2012 study published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Zheng Gu Shui. The study found that the liniment had significant anti-inflammatory effects in animal models, which was attributed to the presence of the active compounds myrrh and frankincense.
