About Ox Bone Pearls
Ox Bone Pearls is a Daoist trauma remedy specifically designed for moving blood and reducing stagnation. The special characteristic of this complex formula, in comparison to other trauma remedies such as Yunnan Baiyao (White Medicine from Yunnan), is the prominent use of ox bone and crab shell. In combination with other herbs, these ingredients can dramatically stimulate the mineralization and uptake of bone. Therefore, Ox Bone Pearls can also be used for bone demineralization issues.
Therapeutic Principles
- Move blood, reduce swelling and pain, resolve trauma from external injuries
