Trauma Soft Plasters can be spread on gauze and applied to the sites of trauma as long as the skin is not broken. Ointments differ in their ability to move blood, clear heat, relieve pain, reduce swelling and dispel wind-damp.
Plasters 1-3 are for acute trauma with inflammation (heat, swelling, pain). Numbers 5 and 6 are for cold disorders and #7 is neutral and can be used for either hot or cold conditions.
1. Ma's Wu Shu Soft Plaster Acute trauma. Heat, swelling, pain and redness present. Vegetarian.
2. Stasis-dissipating, Pain-relieving Soft Plaster Similar indications/functions as #1. NOT vegetarian. Better for pain, stronger blood moving function.
3. Dissipation Soft Plaster Focuses on SWELLING (less pain). Good to mix with #1 or #2 if swelling is extreme. Often good to combine with #4.
4. Double-cooling Soft plaster Focuses on CLEARING HEAT. Often used with other plasters to make them better able to clear heat.
