The origin of a similar blend dates back more than a thousand years to the era of the Tong Dynasty.
If you would like this blend without the carrier oils added, consider HEO's Sinus Relief blend.

Tamanu nut oil is known to soothe the skin and help relieve irritations (due to its antiseptic properties). It is hydrating (softens the skin) and may help regenerate skin cells. Tamanu has anti-inflammatory properties and may be useful to soothe rheumatism, eczema and inflammatory skin conditions.

Application Suggestions (see Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart)
Topical: 60% of Ancient Chinese blend is essential oils, so depending on the usage, dilute with a carrier oil and apply on area of concern or as desired. Maximum topical use limit is 13%. As an example, if you want to use the blend at 10%, add 1 part Ancient Chinese with 5 parts carrier. To use it at 5%, add 1 part Ancient Chinese Remedy with 11 parts carrier.

Children: Not suitable for children under 10 due to Wintergreen. For children over 10, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Not suitable to diffuse (due to the carrier oils). For congestion or just to enjoy aroma diffused in the air, many prefer to diffuse this aroma of essential oils in a cool-air diffuser. Since it is not suitable to diffuse carrier oils, we offer this essential oil blend minus the carrier oils in a blend we call Sinus Relief.

Internal Use: Not suggested.

1. I'm "addicted" to this beautiful blend. It soothes my aching muscles, relieves headaches and opens my sinuses. I find it very uplifting too. Since it's already diluted, I have found that I can apply it to my throat when I get drowsy while driving. It's a nice pick-me-up and helps me feel alert until I reach my destination or a place where I can get some rest.

2. I use two or three drops for a sore throat or to settle the stomach.

3. I recently heard about HEO and I was so excited that they are so affordable. So last week I made my first order, and a few days later I woke up with a sore throat and an upset stomach. I took colloidal silver all day but didn't feel a whole lot improved by bed-time, and then I remembered my oils! I decided to try Ancient Chinese remedy, and I put a little on my feet and diffused some in the room. [Sarah diffused Sinus Relief, which is the same essential oils without the carrier oils.] When I woke up the next morning I felt great! No sore throat and absolutely no symptoms! Thanks so much for producing such great quality oils at such affordable prices! - Sarah

4. Ancient Chinese Remedy works better than aspirin for a headache and is quick to open up sinuses! - Lynn

Safety
Birch/Wintergreen Dermal, Inhalation and Internal Contraindications: Anticoagulant medication, major surgery, GERD, hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, pregnancy, nursing, children and people with salicylate sensitivity, which may apply to people with ADD/ADHD (Tisserand/Young page 215).

Birch/Wintergreen Internal Caution: Large doses of Birch/Wintergreen can be toxic. 5mls of Birch/Wintergreen is equal to approximately 21 aspirin (300 mg tablets). Large amounts taken orally can cause ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach pain and confusion. Tisserand notes that the maximum adult daily oral dose is 182mg, which would be less than .2mL.

Oral Caution: GERD disease, anticoagulant medication, major surgery, hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, pregnancy, nursing, children and people with salicylate sensitivity, which may apply to people with ADD/ADHD (Tisserand/Young page 215).

Tisserand writes about Wintergreen:

"Wintergreen oil has some wonderful properties, but I would not like to see it used at more than 5%. No one has died from dermal [topical] application, but there have been at least three reported cases of people taking blood-thinning medication who broke out in internal bruising when they applied methyl salicylate-containing products to their skin. It enhances the blood thinning action of the drug, and blood leaks out of the blood vessels."

White Camphor: Julia Lawless wrote that White Camphor is relatively non-toxic, non-sensitizing and non-irritating. Tisserand/Young notes in Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Professionals 2nd edition (p. 228) that the “hazard” with White Camphor is skin sensitization if oxidized.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat—like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Flushing with water will only send the essential oil back to the eye's membranes. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. We’ve not known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
