Tx of burns - 80% of body

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone -

 

I have a prospective patient who was badly burned over 80% of her

body 3 years ago. She reports scarring and contractures.

 

She is currently using some " Chinese Herbal Salve " (I didn't get the

name of it), and is very happy with it.

 

She asked if I did massage - is this a good thing to do on

contractures? Deep pressure to break adhesions and scar tissue?

 

Anyone have experience treating something like this with acu and

herbs - topical and internal? Or with massage?

 

I have not seen her yet, so cannot offer any TCM diagnostic info.

 

Any suggestions/info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

FYI the salve is probably Ching Wan Hung. Pretty amazing stuff.
