I hesitate to comment on CHM, but I understand that many soldiers in the Far East have Yunnan Baiyao in their kitbags for use when thsy are wounded.

Any comments from experienced herbalists on Yunnan Baiyao in such cases?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi Phil & Marco, et al, I'd try scalp needles for the hands and fingers. Yunnan Baiyao would be good for this, if you have it. Take it orally. Short of Yunna Baiyao, use San Qi powder instead.
