Ankle Ointment quickens the blood and dispels stasis, clears heat, disperses swelling, and stops pain. This ointment was created by Zhou Guo-jun et al. at the Guanzhou Qian Southeast Autonomous Region Chinese Medical Hospital. Published research has shown this ointment to be 99% effective within three days for the treatment of sprained ankle when treatment was initiated in the first 48 hours after injury and when combined with acupressure.
Instructions: Apply to the affected area and fix with a dressing. Change daily. In addition, needle Shang Qiu (Sp 5), Jie Xi (St 41), Qiu Xu (GB 40), Kun Lun (Bl 60), and/or Tai Xi (Ki3) depending on the site of sprain. For best results, keep the affected limb elevated and restrict use. Acupressure at the above points may also be used instead of acupuncture for home treatment by the patient or a family member.
