Shiunko is a Kampo (Japanese herbal medicine) formula used commonly to protect the skin during moxabustion. It is named “burn cream” for its efficacy in healing skin from “blood heat” and “blood deficiency” conditions such as burns, sunburns, eczema, psoriasis, cuts, scraps and so on. I use it as my cure-all for all skin complaints and first aid. It’s also nice on dry skin & lips, healing tattoos, aging skin and scar healing.
