Relieves Acute Pain, Reduces Inflammation, Promotes Healing
Die Da Gao Cooling Herbal Clay Poultice is used in Stage 1 of Die Da Yao Injury Recovery.
This poultice is appropriate for soft tissue injuries that are red, hot, swollen and painful, where the skin is NOT broken. This poultice reduces swelling and cools the local area while dispersing local blood and fluid stasis. Ideally, this poultice should be the first treatment applied to initial injuries
In this primary stage it is imperative that reduction of heat and movement of blood be accomplished to alleviate not only pain, but to prevent the injury from affecting deeper layers of the fascia.
Quality Ingredients - This poultice includes many of the ingredients that are in our Cool Brace Cooling Liniment, PLUS it includes the healing, absorbing, electromagnetic benefits of Bentonite Clay.
Bentonite Clay - When mixed with liquid, Bentonite Clay, produces it's own negatively charged electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic charge gives Bentonite Clay the ability to revitalize cell metabolism, and to absorb and remove toxins, heavy metals, impurities and chemicals from the body.
Hand-Crafted Quality – Our poultice is made by hand and stirred in the traditional way with a wooden implement. Modern commercial poultices that are mass-produced are blended in stainless steel industrial mixers. These poultices are less effective because the absorbing, electromagnetic properties of the clay interact with the metal machinery which reduces the osmotic benefits of the clay.
