A Topical Analgesic That Provides Pain Relief!, January 12, 2007
I have tried many topical analgesics and have found this one to provide the best pain relief far and above it's other competitors on the market!
This product as described in the description above, does help relieve "minor aches and pains of muscles and joints due to: simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains" and can be applied to non-sensitive areas like the wrists, elbows, knees, shoulders, neck, back, etc. or wherever you may need pain relief.
I have found that by applying a liberal amount of Zheng Gu Shui to the aching area, gently massaging it into that particular area, and then applying a warm to hot compress on top of the area for approximately 15 minutes and then repeating this process for a total of 3-4 times during the day has provided the best pain relief for me. I am not advocating that anyone try or not try what I've done to help with pain relief. I'm just sharing my experience with Zheng Gu Shui.
A few other personal notations:
A) This product is described as a "lotion", but is really more of a liquid.
B) This product also has a strong medicinal/liniment smell to it.... the smell doesn't bother me a bit, but other people may not like the smell.
C) This product may stain various clothing items or fabrics it comes into contact with, so wear clothing you won't mind having stained!

Zheng Gu Shui -- Amazing Relief, November 27, 2006
I have lived with chronic pain from neuropathy for 18 years. Although my doctors have recommended the standard presciption of a base dose of Fentanyl with a bolus of extra Fentanyl when I have breakthrough pain, I am now using Zheng Gu Shui for breakthrough pain. Most of the time this analgesic helps enough for me so I don't scream with the pain. I highly recommsnd this as an additon to the medicine kit for anyone with chronic pain. Of course, depending on the source of the pain, this may not work. I have found it amazingly effective for both muscle and nerve pain relief. It is worth the try!

Zheng Gu Shui - good for what ails you, February 17, 2008
This review is from: Zheng Gu Shui External Analgesic Lotion - 100ml (3.4 Fl. Oz.) (Health and Beauty)
This is a chinese liniment; basically menthol and camphor with some magic herbs thrown in. As an aging guitar player, I spray it on the backs of my fingers and hands, both before and after playing. It definitely helps.
Just don't get it in any mucus membranes; you'll regret it.
