The lotions prepared with medicinal substances have been used for centuries with great results. They are always applied externally and are used to deal with pain resulting from injuries or in cases of rheumatic pain.
The preparation of the medicinal lotions is extremely simple. Just put the plants that come in the bag in a sealed glass container. Then add about 15 cups (3.5 L) of rice wine or vodka (50 °), close the container and place it in a cool, dark place. Shake the mixture as often as possible. The lotion can be used three months after it’s prepared, however, it’s definitely ready after one year of maceration. The best lotions have more than 10 years.
The most common way of application of the lotion is to pour a small amount of the remedy on the injured area and then make a gentle massage, with circular motions, so it can reach the desired tissues.
This method has the disadvantage of allowing a rapid evaporation of the active ingredients of the lotion. For this reason, we recommend you to soak a gauze with the lotion and fix it on the damaged area after the massage, to allow greater penetration of the product.
Apply the lotion as often as possible or follow your therapist advice.
