HERBAL RELIEF IN ACTION
How it Works
Po Sum On’s power comes from the synergy of its natural ingredients and a century of refinement. Here’s how it brings you fast relief and lasting comfort.
01
Aromatic Activation
When applied, the high-quality peppermint oil (15% natural menthol) immediately triggers a cooling, soothing sensation on the skin . This calms superficial pain and starts to clear nasal passages – you can even dab a bit under the nose for a comforting aroma when you have a stuffy nose.
02
Deep Warming & Circulation
Next, warming herbs like cinnamon oil and dragon’s blood resin go to work beneath the skin. These ingredients increase local circulation and create a gentle warmth that relaxes tight muscles and relieves stagnation (known in TCM as “dispelling wind and invigorating blood flow” to ease pain). You’ll feel aches melt away as fresh blood flow promotes healing in the affected area.
03
Targeted Pain Relief
The menthol and natural oils act as analgesics and counter-irritants, essentially distracting your nerves from pain signals and reducing inflammation in muscles and joints. This dual effect means both immediate relief (thanks to the cooling tingle) and longer-lasting comfort (from the reduced swelling and increased mobility).
04
Easy Application
Simply massage a few drops of oil or a small dab of balm onto the affected area. Within minutes, you’ll notice improved flexibility and comfort. Use it before workouts to warm up muscles, or after physical activity to ease soreness – Po Sum On is a go-to liniment for many athletes and martial artists. It’s also a wonderful part of a nightly routine to soothe aches before sleep, or a travel essential to prevent stiffness on long trips.
05
Holistic Wellness
Unlike chemical-smelling ointments, Po Sum On’s herbal scent can have an uplifting, clearing effect on the mind. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the formula is said to “open the meridians” – balancing the flow of Qi (energy) – which aligns with the Western understanding of how improved circulation aids recovery. In short, it not only relieves pain but also supports your body’s natural healing processes, bringing you back into balance.
