We think being able to carry over some of the modalities and techniques that we use in clinic to the home front can be an important part of the treatment plan and healing process. Plus, it’s always good to have some effective remedies on hand when pain or inflammation is at its peak. Here we offer our favorite TCM tools of 2022 that you’ll want to keep around, especially this winter.

Dr. Bob’s Medicated Oil
A similar sensation to Tiger Balm or Icy Hot, but with a slightly more warming sensation, this is Bob Flaws’ Po Sum On Oil. The herbs in the oil makes it a great muscle rub for a stiff neck or back (especially when mixed with grapeseed or coconut oil, for massage). Can also be used as aromatherapy for an approaching headache or sleepiness.
Moves the qi and promotes circulatory health. Learn more from Dana Robinson, L.Ac.’s blog.
