What is safflower oil for?
Safflower oil is a kind of wind-dispelling medicine. It can be used for treating rheumatic bone pain, traumatic injury and sprain, exogenous headache, and skin itching.

Safflower oil is a reddish-brown clear liquid with special smell and spicy taste. The ingredients are clove basil oil, methyl salicylate, ginger camphor oil, cinnamon oil, cinnamaldehyde, citral and borneol. For external use, apply to the affected area.

Can't use it when local swelling after sprain. After human tissue is injured by external force, it shows inflammatory reaction, and a large amount of liquid will seep out of blood vessels to the sprain, causing local swelling, and then compressing nerves, causing pain. This reaction usually reaches its peak within 24 hours. If safflower oil with the function of promoting blood circulation is used at this time, it will accelerate local blood circulation and increase exudation, which will not only fail to achieve the therapeutic effect, but will aggravate local swelling and pain. At this time, you should rest, raise the affected limb, and immediately apply cold compress to help the blood vessels contract, so as to reduce swelling and relieve pain. After 24 hours, apply safflower oil to diminish inflammation, remove blood stasis and relieve pain.
