Description
ICE Ox is based on the traditional Shaolin Dieda Jiu 跌打酒 (also known as Dit Da Jow) and Wu Xiang Jiu 五香酒 (Five Fragrance Wine) formulas. It uses a synergistic combination of herbs to create a balanced formula. Applied topically, it helps cool and free the flow of Qi through the acupuncture channels, disperse Heat, and mobilise congested Qi. It can also support localised blood circulation when massaged into muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Popular with martial artists and athletes for the more acute stages of injury where there is redness, swelling and pain or bruising, it can be also used before or after exercise.
Choose ICE Ox when there is sensitivity to heat or irritation from warming applications, with a preference for cool. For cold, stiff, achy joints that are better for warmth, see FIRE Ox!
(Due to UK advertising standards, the full benefits and traditional use in injury recovery can only be discussed during a direct consultation.)
