Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Richard - I would concur, The ice keeps the swelling down especially when administered in the method you recommend. In addition, with reduced swelling there is diminished blood stasis due lower fluid pressure on the tissues. This is an example of myth propagated in the name of Oriental Medicine, that, when verified fails to be true. When the patient goes 'chemical,' (inflammatory cascades), acupuncture and possibly icing is best. The swelling due to trauma is also why some practitioners add phlegm dissolvers and fluid transforming agents to die dah formulas internal and external.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Surely Ice Cold is more Yin Yang balanced than Cold which is more Yin than Yang ? Therefore Ice Cold can be used in circumstances where Cold would cause imbalance ;-) - homi kaikobad Chinese Medicine Sunday, August 29, 2004 4:16 PM Re: Ice What are external phlegm dissolvers?
