WHEN TO USE:
The Recovery Wrap is ideal for moderate acute injuries such as sprains, bruises and pulled muscles. It also provides relief for a variety of chronic conditions. If you have suffered an acute injury, apply the Chi Herbal Recovery Wrap to the injured area as soon as possible. If you do not have a Recovery Wrap on hand, have one over-nighted or 2-day shipped. In the mean time, you can use the R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) approach, icing just enough to minimize swelling.
If you are experiencing chronic pain, the Recovery Wrap can be worn at any time. When you are experiencing chronic pain, it is a sign that Chi flow and circulation are impaired. Toxins accumulate, inflammation increases, and pain results. The Recovery Wrap helps restore Chi circulation, which in turn helps the body return to its natural equilibrium. For more severe pain, use the Injury Recovery Kit, which contains two Recovery Wraps and a bottle of Harmonizing Bath.
Chi Herbal also suggests using the Recovery Wrap as a preventative measure. About every 6 months, apply a wrap to joints stressed by your training schedule to maintain balanced Chi circulation and help prevent the onset of an injury.

HOW TO USE:
 |
Step 1 - Shape herbal cream
Remove herbal cream from jar and shape as desired - it should be at least 3/8 inch thick and cover the area of pain.
|
|
Step 2 - Wrap cream in gauze
Use the included gauze to wrap herbal cream - this helps keep its shape during wear, and allows for easy removal. |
|
Step 3 -Tape onto body
Use the included medical tape to completely cover the herbal wrap and secure it onto your body, directly over the source of the pain. |
|
Step 4 - Secure and wear
Wrap with elastic bandage, if needed, to secure in place.The bandage should be tight enough to keep herbs in contact with the skin, but should not cut off circulation. Wear 8-12 hours. If you have the time, you can wear it continuously for up to 24 hours for enhanced results. When you take it off, discard the used herbal cream. DO NOT REUSE. |
|
Step 5 - Afterward, use spray
Use the Recovery Spray to further aid recovery. Use 10-15 sprays, twice daily or as desired, until the bottle is empty. |
For most common joint and muscle injuries, optimal results can be achieved with one to three Recovery Wraps. Longer, more chronic conditions may require additional treatments. For best results, wear the first Recovery Wrap for 12-24 hours, discard, and wait 24 hours to apply the second wrap. Again wear the second herbal wrap for 12-24 hours, discard, and wait 24 hours before applying a third treatment. Repeat cycle until the desired number of treatments are complete. After the Recovery Wrap is removed, use the included Chi Herbal Recovery Spray to augment the effects of the wrap. The Recovery Spray will also alleviate any redness or itching that may occur as a natural result of using the Recovery Wrap.
The Recovery Wrap is a "Topical Analgesic" for temporary relief of minor aches and pain in muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains.
USER COMMENTS
"I have had a recurring Achilles injury for years that usually takes weeks of rest to heal; however, with one application of the Recovery Wrap my Achilles felt better within a few days. And I was back to training 100% in no time. In addition, I use the Foot & Leg Energizer after hard workouts so my legs feel fresh for the next training session the following day."

"After running 20 marathons in 20 months, I developed severe foot pain on a hilly training run. I continued my marathon-a-month routine, but my times were dreadful and every step was agony.
I started using the Chi Herbal Recovery Wrap and Foot and Leg Energizer as part of a comprehensive recovery program that also included stretching, icing, and other treatments. In February, I turned in my best marathon time ever and qualified for the Boston Marathon. I completed Boston and went on to Ironman Coeur d'Alene in June. I have no doubt that the Chi Herbal Recovery Wrap and Foot Energy spray contributed significantly to my recovery. What was probably most fulfilling was the run leg of IM CdA. My foot felt great during the run and after the race. Within two days, I was doing my recovery training, and everything is looking good for Humpy's Marathon in Anchorage in August."

"I have now had two experiences with the Recovery Wrap, and both have exceeded my expectations. Frankly, I was skeptical that it could deal with the two issues I had. First, I had knee pain for about 20 years and had to stop running because of it. (I had lost cartilage in my left knee from years of running.) After two applications of the wrap and a couple of months rest, I was able to begin running again and worked my way up to 48 minutes without pain. I can now use the elliptical trainer and bike at the gym as well.
Recently I was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the ankle. I gave it three weeks of PT, ice and support with little improvement. I used the wrap once and felt immediate relief. I don’t know how or why it works, but my personal experience with it convinces me that work it does."

"I know this picture of my ankle is not the best, but let me explain. I rolled the heck out of my ankle and I couldn’t walk – I thought I had broken it because I heard a snap and felt a shock up into my upper leg. Last night before I went to bed I put on the Chi Herbal Recovery Wrap. I should have taken a photo before I put the Recovery Wrap on because the whole bottom of my foot was really black and blue, especially right under my ankle. After wearing the wrap I actually got some color back and the black and blue is really limited to the base of my foot. I can walk on the ankle with little or no pain and swelling has gone down tremendously. "

"I was unfortunate enough to twist my ankle and tear a ligament. I had gone to my physician and upon instruction from her I wore a walking cast and used crutches as provided. The instruction was to stay off of it for a couple of weeks and go back for a check-up. After a week and a half my ankle looked and felt the same: just as bruised and just as swollen. One of my friends recommended a Recovery Wrap. I picked one up and gave it a try. I had enough herbal paste in one kit to do two treatments. I wore the first treatment for 24 hours and after I took the herbal paste off my jaw dropped (which quickly turned to an ear to ear smile). The swelling had reduced by approximately 75% and the bruising by about 50%. Most of the pain was gone. I anxiously waited another 24 hours to pass so that I could wear the second treatment, already knowing that I could toss my crutches aside. As soon as I could, I applied the second half of the herbal paste. My ankle felt incredible. Again I wore the wrap for 24 hours and, lucky for me, I had a check-up with my doctor that day. She came in, smelled the herbs and inquired about the scent. I explained the Recovery Wrap to her and she kind of brushed it aside until she saw my foot. She did the same thing I did – her jaw dropped and her eyes went wide. My doctor then asked me to put weight on it and try to walk - again her eyes widened. I heard a nice “Wow!” uttered from her lips. Wearing the Recovery Wrap into her office was my way of subtly telling her my Wrap did more in 4 days than her brace did in two weeks."
