Dr. Jim Guo, an acupuncturist, chiropractor and herbalist with over 20 years of clinical experience, formulated this salve in response to a colleague's request for a natural herbal product to treat symptoms related to sports injuries: contusion, bruising, pain, swelling, spasm and inflammation. Incorporating feedback from patients and colleagues, it took more than a year to perfect the formula. When the final version was launched, it was an instant hit with patients and colleagues alike. There are 37 botanical herbs in the salve: a collection of the very best herbs from the East and West. The herbs are known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, regenerating and healing properties. Although the main purpose of the salve was initially to relieve symptoms of sports injuries, based on helpful feedback from our patients, the salve has also been found to work well for a number of other conditions: shingles, gout, mild skin burn/sun burn, cracked heels/palms, athlete's foot, skin rash, poison ivy, eczema, scar healing and mosquito bites - it even acts as an insect repellent. It is a true multi-purpose salve that every family should have. Ingredients include Arnica, Panax Notoginseng, Safflower, Turmeric, Achyranthis root, Ginger, Red peony, Kadsura, Angelica, Eucommia Bark, Artemesia, Millettia, Knotwood, Japanese Teasel root, Lovage root, Copper, Spruce, Pine needles, Cedarwood, Juniper berry, Yarrow, Comfrey, Calendula, Frankincense, Myrrh, Dragon's blood, Cinnamon, Cayenne, Prickly Ash, Golden seal, Plantain, Camphor, Menthol, Essential oils, Vitamin E, Grape seed oil, Sweet Almond oil, Apricot Kernel oil, Jojoba oil, Beeswax and Shea butter. The manufacturing process: the botanical herbs are first mixed in barrels with a proprietary oil blend. Each barrel is inspected weekly for its color, texture, and aroma, followed by a good stir and shake. The infused oil takes at least three months to mature to the desired condition before it is extracted. The extracted oil then goes through a gentle warming infusion process for fortification while preserving the active ingredients, and thus the potency of the botanical herbs. Finally, bees wax, Shea butter and a blend of essential oils are added to further enhance the therapeutic effect of the salve. The 37 healing salve is expertly handcrafted with a great deal of care by Dr. Guo at his clinic in South Attleboro, Massachusetts.
