Herbal Paste is Golden Sunshine’s strongest formulation for traumatic injury where deep penetration to the connective tissues is desired. It is anti-inflammatory and reduces edema caused by muscle, bone and joint injuries. It is an effective analgesic for acute or chronic pain induced by arthritis, rheumatism, bruises, swelling, trauma, sore muscles and sprained joints. Golden Sunshine's Far Infrared Herbal Paste now includes a piezoelectric ingredient that when activated by body heat emits a Far Infrared frequency along with the herbs. Application: Herbal Paste is for external topical use only. Clean and dry the affected area before applying a generous amount (about the thickness of a nickel). It should then be covered with a cotton pad (C) to prevent leaking. Use the cotton roll dressing (E-G) like a cast or wrap for extremities (arms or legs) or the self-adhesive gauze dressing (D) for large or flat surfaces (back, shoulder, etc.). For best results leave the paste on the affected area for 15 to 20 hours. Use warm water to remove the paste.
