In Chinese Medicine, pain in the body can indicate a number of different factors, but often blood stasis is a key component.  Acupuncture studies have shown treatments to be quite effective for pain management by increasing blood circulation and releasing endorphins for pain relief.  One great adjunct to this process is the addition of Po Sum On oil applied locally to areas of pain.  It contains Cinnamon and Peppermint Oils (which provides circulation, slight warmth and an icy-hot relief).  Additionally, it also includes several Chinese herbs to invigorate blood, increase circulation and provide overall pain relief.  When applied between acupuncture treatments, Po Sum On oil can further enhance the beneficial effects for pain management.  If you are receiving acupuncture treatments for pain relief, check with your practitioner to see if Po Sum On oil is appropriate for your condition.
