I used to use arnica to keep bruises from blossoming, but not since I found Zheng Gu Shui. I used to take painkillers and muscle relaxants, for years, and was in constant pain. Since I started using this stuff I take no meds except acetaminophen some nights and, if I do injure anything, this speeds up the healing to a day or two, no kidding. You have to be careful not to put on too much as it can make you very cold, but it's really warming down to your bones (it's name translates to "middle bone water") and works wonders. I would urge you to try it out. If you can't get it over there, let me know and I'll send you some.

Heal up!*bg*
