This formula is based on a traditional formula called Hong Hua Gao which is used to promote blood circulation, remove stagnation of blood in channels, relieve pain and swelling from trauma. According to Chinese tradition, traumatic pain is always the result of a blockage in the free flow of Qi and Blood. This is a very popular product and is used and recommended by my osteopath colleagues, runners and other athletes who use it regularly.
