Po Sum On (sounds like a mispronunciation of Pour Some On) also called Bao Xin An, is a general all around massage oil that can be used for stiff, inflexible muscles, before exercise to help them warm up and to prepare them for stretching and activity. This oil penetrates deep into the muscles, improving circulation and warms the muscles. Po Sum On is an example of a warming liniment for the circulation, yet it has a cooling effect for the skin. It is made by steam distillation of the herbs, and contains no synthetic ingredients.*
This is one of the go-to liniments for athletes and martial artists.
Available as both an oil and a salve.
