Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 one of my patients who is an infant icu nurse at mission hosp has told me that the nurses there are using po sum om for migraine headaches. they use it locally, massaging it into the affected area. as they aren't allowed to take drugs while working, the po sum om has given them a measure of tolerable relief. has anyone else heard about this off label use of po sum om. i found it at once intriguing and creative. i'm thinking the menthol and the dragon's blood opens the orifices and provides local blood circulation, while the huang qin clears heat, thereby offering the pain relief. kath -- Kath Bartlett, LAc, MS, BA UCLA Oriental Medicine Experienced, Dedicated, Effective Flying Dragon Liniment: Effective pain relief for muscles & joints Formulated by Kath Bartlett, Traditional Chinese Herbalist Available at Asheville Center for , or web order at: https://www.kamwo.com/shop/product.php?productid=17442 & cat=0 & page=1 Asheville Center For 70 Woodfin Place, Suite West Wing Two Asheville, NC 28801 828.258.2777 kbartlett www.AcupunctureAsheville.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
