Hi tom what is the best way to treat a wrist with Zheng Gu shui for how many times a day &. How often Donnie. Sorry Donnie but that is a question I can't answer as any treatment for an injury, wrist or elsewhere, depends entirely on the injury. Zheng Gu Shui liniment is just that, a liniment, and as a liniment like most available liniments it is formulated to first of all produce low level heat in the area its applied to, and to some extent produce a minimal low level local anaesthetic effect. While it is a very effective liniment that produces a prolonged "deep heat" any repair of an injury still depends upon the body itself for the actual healing to occur, the speed of which depends entirely upon the type and severity of the injury, and if you wanted to get feel finicky, on the health of the body. The term zheng gu shui simply translated means "raw bone water". Cheers, Tom

treating back muscle tear Hi Jenny, When you say a “back muscle tear” I assume you are referring to either a split between the Gracilis (back muscle) and the Semitendinosus (hamstring) or a torn attachment at the top of the back muscle. Unfortunately in either case any liniment, including Zheng Gu Shui, is just not going to do the job. The main reason being that a tear in either area is generally caused by excessive tightness and scar tissue in the back muscle and hamstring in the first place. Which is there as a result of accumulated small injuries over a period of time which have not been found and treated appropriately. Simply applying heat as per liniment is just going to increase the general amount of scar tissue in the muscle tissue without actually affecting the tear in any positive way. As always the treatment for such an injury depends on the severity of the injury, and the state or soundness of the surrounding muscle tissue. The order of preferred treatments are: Surgical intervention, where the torn tissue is stitched and repaired internally. But this needs to be done very soon after the injury occurred, and the success of such treatment depends largely on the health of the surrounding tissue as excessive scar tissue is still going to limit the ability of the muscle to both stretch as required, and it’s ability to contract after it has been surgically repaired. Carefully placed injections of a suitable sclerosing agent, or blood plasma to stimulate healing at both ends of the tear to limit any further damage. Followed by an extended period of either ultrasound or laser treatments to both the area of the damage and the surrounding tissue. Which will also have to include the right type of stretching physiotherapy, to as much as possible maintain and improve the ability of that area to stretch as required when running. Because torn muscle tissue in this area is more often than not a career threatening or ending type injury, in some instances if the injury is really severe, retirement may be the only option. Cheers, Tom
