Red Flower Oil

[stevie m]

Has anyone tried Red Flower Oil, a chinese rubbing solution, only I have problems with my knees, (Too Much Football). On the off chance I popped into a Chinese medicine shop and they gave an examination, and prescribed this. It is a little like "Deep Heat" but more intense and at the moment seems to ease the pain somewhat, but I just wondered if any of you guys have goog or bad experiences with it. Am also considering Acupuncture any views?

Hi stevie m. I've googled it and it certainly looks effective! My hubby has trouble in both his knees and he uses Tiger Balm,pungent but very good.

Acupuncture has worked for me stevie.  Had tennis elbow years ago and it cured it.  Still get acupuncture a few times a year for different ailment.  Its worth a try.

I've also had good results from acupuncture for various conditions.  It cured Tennis Elbow for me too.

hey perry,

I might try it iknow it costs about �30 a session where i went

[stevie m]

ceebee,

your convincing me slowly

[Peri]

Make sure you get a good reference and dont just go to anyone stevie.  If your pain etc is localised acupuncture should work well

[stevie m]

try taking devils claw tablets give them a few weeks to work and you will notice adifference...i have just looked that red flower oil up..you might as well make your own as you can get all those ingredients..as cinnamon is one of them when i did my herbalist course they said to take more cinnamon in the diet as it will be good for the circulation..nettle tea would also benefit you..
