Last week brought back my memories of volunteering to help the people in New Orleans in late 2007, two years after Hurricane Katrina hit. Take a read of the article I wrote for The Montclair Times about my experience.

I am not just trained in acupuncture and massage. As part of my suite of skills to help manage pain in my patients, I am also trained in the ancient healing modality of Cupping. Cups are placed on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes and are used as a suction to relieve pain, inflammation, and remove toxins. Not sure if this could work for you? Contact me 973-220-4242 for more details and how I can help with the best pain management treatments that benefit you.

Recently I had a male high school patient come to me on Day 2 after spraining his ankle, showing a lot of inflammation. I treated the injury with light massage, Evil Bone Water under an infrared lamp, and the next day a bruise appeared (1st photo). The 2nd photo is after four days of daily applications of EBW and herbal medicine. The last photo is two and a half weeks after the initial injury where the patient is off crutches and out of his boot and has regained 70% of his range of motion. Three days after this was taken, he could bear a normal weight load. Contact me 973-220-4242 for more details and how I can help with sprains and other sports injuries.

Evil Bone Water

05/29/2025

I often use Evil Bone Water in my practice on injuries during an acupuncture treatment. Evil bone water is a Chinese herbal topical liniment containing a blend of herbs and alcohol. Key ingredients include Notoginseng, Cinnamon Bark, Zedoary Rhizome, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizome, Knotweed Rhizome, Inula Cappa, Philippine Flemingia Root, Scutellaria Root, Camphor, and Menthol.

It is a household item in China called Zheng Gu Shui. The ingredients reduce pain, open energetic channels, speed the healing of injured tendons and bones, and reduce bruising.

Often times I use this on patients with an infrared lamp after sports injuries to speed recovery time. The protocol for injuries is to use ice to reduce inflammation, but Evil Bone Water is beneficial after the initial injury phase to increase circulation by using, what's referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine, as blood movers (ie, increase circulation), for example E Zhu, San Qi, and Qian Jin Ba. It also contains herbs like Zhang Nao and Bai Zhu that reduce inflammation and swelling.

A great topical to add to your first aid kit for the summer! You can buy this in my office or online at www.evilbonewater.com.
