In Chinese medicine, herbs are used both internally and externally. The external applications are diverse and are often combined with manual techniques. These include oils, liniments, poultices, salves, and much more. BIOS offers a wide range of products for external use. If you are interested in a customized preparation, feel free to contact us.
The topical application of Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced in the Far East for centuries.
Ancient texts such as Prescriptions for Fifty-Two Diseases (Wushi'er Bingfang – Han Dynasty) and Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huang Di Nei Jing 《黄帝内经》 – Han, Jin, and Tang Dynasties) already described the external use of Chinese herbs. These applications include baths, washes, poultices/plasters, as well as salves, liniments, and oils.
