Deep Warmth for Deep Aches
There is a specific kind of pain that settles into the joints when the temperature drops—a gnawing, persistent ache that makes movement difficult and stiffens the body against the cold. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is often described as "Wind-Cold-Damp Bi," where cold energy lodges in the joints and bones, obstructing the flow of Qi and blood. Cold Bones Warming Spray is our answer to this deep-seated discomfort. It is a fiercely warming, high-potency liniment designed to drive out the cold, rekindle circulation, and bring vital warmth back to stiff, aching joints.
 
We formulated this spray specifically for chronic conditions like arthritis, rheumatism, and old injuries that flare up in damp or chilly weather. Unlike topical creams that sit on the surface, this liquid liniment is designed for deep penetration. It carries the heat of powerful Yang herbs straight to the source of the pain, melting away stiffness and restoring mobility to "frozen" areas. It is like wrapping your aching joints in a blanket of therapeutic fire.
 
Restoring the Fire of Circulation
This formula relies on some of the most potent warming herbs in the TCM pharmacopeia, chosen for their ability to expel cold and unblock stagnation in the deepest channels.
 
Why it works:
Expels Deep Cold: The combination of Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite) and Chuan Wu (Aconite Root) represents the heavyweight champions of warming energy. These herbs are famous in TCM for their ability to scatter deep cold and alleviate the intense pain associated with "cold bones."
Warms the Channels: Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark), Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), and Xi Xin (Asarum) work synergistically to generate strong heat, dilating blood vessels and encouraging blood flow to return to cold, restricted areas.
Dispels Wind and Dampness: To address the heaviness and stiffness of rheumatism, we use Wei Ling Xian (Clematis) and Qian Nian Jian (Homalomena). These herbs are traditionally used to "dispel wind-damp," helping to improve flexibility and range of motion in stiff joints.
Targeted Relief: Bai Zhi (Angelica) and Bai Fu Zi (Typhonium) act as guides, directing the formula's warming action to specific areas of pain, ensuring the relief is focused exactly where you need it.
 
A Holistic Approach to Chronic Pain
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe that managing chronic pain requires listening to the body's signals. When pain worsens with cold, the body is asking for warmth. Cold Bones Warming Spray is a tool for self-care that respects this need. It allows you to actively participate in your own healing, providing the energetic support your body needs to thaw out and move freely again.
 
How to Use
Apply to affected areas when experiencing deep aches, stiffness, or pain worsened by cold weather.
Identify: Locate the specific joints or areas feeling stiff, cold, or achy.
Spray: Apply 2-3 pumps of the spray directly onto the skin.
Rub: Vigorously rub the liniment into the area to generate friction and heat, helping the herbs penetrate. You will feel a strong warming sensation.
Cover: For best results, keep the area warm and covered after application. Use 1-3 times daily or as needed.
Note: This is a very warming formula. Wash hands thoroughly after application and avoid touching eyes or sensitive mucous membranes. Do not use on broken skin or hot, red, inflamed joints.
