Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi everyone - I have a prospective patient who was badly burned over 80% of her body 3 years ago. She reports scarring and contractures. She is currently using some " Chinese Herbal Salve " (I didn't get the name of it), and is very happy with it. She asked if I did massage - is this a good thing to do on contractures? Deep pressure to break adhesions and scar tissue? Anyone have experience treating something like this with acu and herbs - topical and internal? Or with massage? I have not seen her yet, so cannot offer any TCM diagnostic info. Any suggestions/info would be appreciated. Thanks! Elijah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 FYI the salve is probably Ching Wan Hung. Pretty amazing stuff. elileee <spyche wrote: Hi everyone - I have a prospective patient who was badly burned over 80% of her body 3 years ago. She reports scarring and contractures.
