Zheng Gu Tui Na Product Line
Liniments, Gao (poultices), Soaks, Powders, Ointments and Pills for Trauma and Orthopedic Conditions.

We founded Zheng Gu Tui Na several years ago, combining our knowledge to create an effective method of teaching traditional Chinese Orthopedics and the treatment of Traumatic injury.

Due to requests by students to make the herbal component of these treatments more accessible, we have now created a product line in collaboration with Kamwo Herb Pharmacy. This product line is composed of  the most effective formulas for treating trauma and other conditions. These formulas, taught in our classes and used by us everyday in the clinic, are now available, already prepared and ready for immediate use. We have ensured that these proprietary formulas are prepared in the traditional way, which maximizes effectiveness and decreases the likelihood of skin reactions.

All of our products are conveniently packaged so that they are easy to use in the clinic, on the sports field or in the martial arts school. They are useful for athletes, martial artists, massage therapists and practitioners of Oriental medicine. They can be safely given to patients for home use. Many of these formulas are the same, or variations of, the formulas in Tom Bisio's book A Tooth From the Tiger's Mouth, which is also available from Kamwo Herb Pharmacy.
