stuff, btw? And maybe you could just melt and add some beeswax to

the CWH. Different ingredients, but maybe similar effect.

First of all I apologize for my spelling of shiunko.

I want to make a large batch so that I can use it with patients as a

salve or give it away as well as use it underneath the moxa. The

tube wouldn't be big enough for my needs. Plus I enjoy making herbal

salves and topical preparations myself.

I have purchased it before at the school I went to, Miki Shima(I

think) and Kiiko Matsumoto. Kiiko has it on her website. I just

prefer to make my own.

 

I found this when I was searching the net:

Shiunko is a typical Kampo drug made from herbal extracts and used

to treat a range of conditions including atopic dermatitis. Shiunko,

white petrolatum and 3.5% salt water were applied to the skin of

atopic dermatitis patients, and their clinical effectiveness, and

the changes in bacterial species and cell numbers on the skin were

studied. Staphylococcus aureus was the main species seen but several

other coagulase-negative staphylococci were also identified on some

patients. Shiunko was clinically effective in four of seven patients

(57%) compared with no patients for petrolatum and one of seven

(14%) for salt water. Bacterial counts were reduced with Shiunko in

four of seven patients compared with one of seven patients (14%) for

both petrolatum and salt water. The results suggest that Shiunko may

have antibacterial effects on staphylococci, and may be an effective

treatment for atopic dermatitis and other skin infections caused

mainly by Staphylococcus species.
