Double-cooling Soft Plaster

This formula treats sprains, strains and contusions that are warm to the touch and red in color. Double-cooling Soft Plaster (#4) relieves pain and dissipates swelling, but these functions are secondary to its ability to clear heat. It can be combined with other soft plasters to supplement their ability to clear heat. For example, Soft Plaster #3 (Dissipation) is warm in nature and if both dissipation of swelling occurs with heat and toxicity then combining Soft Plasters 3 and 4 together may be appropriate.

Functions: Clears heat, resolves toxin, dissipates swelling, and soothes pain. Agents that clear heat and resolve toxin such as Da Huang, Huang Bai and Shan Zhi Zi, form the core of this formula. The remaining agents dissipate swelling, soothe pain and course wind.

Contraindications: This soft plaster should not be applied to open wounds. Avoid contact with eyes or mucus membranes. This soft plaster will stain fabric.  Keep out of reach of children.
