Topicals work at the site — they're fast and direct but limited to what can penetrate the skin. Internal herbs work systemically — they reach the deeper pathways that topicals can't access. This combo uses both: the Corydalis Relief Salve targets the painful area from the outside, while Ao Yi Tea addresses circulation and stagnation from within. Because both products share the same key herb — Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis) — they reinforce rather than duplicate each other.
Ao Yi Tea
Internal · Tibetan Herbal Formula · Circulation + Pain Modulation
A 1,000-year-old Tibetan formula targeting pain, stagnation, and circulation from the inside out.
- Works systemically — reaches pain pathways topicals can't access
- Three-herb formula targeting multiple pain types at once
- Gentle on the stomach — an effective alternative to OTC pain medicines
- No menthol, no camphor, no strong medicinal smell
- Especially effective for cold and damp pain patterns that worsen in cold weather
| Herb | Also Known As | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
|
Du Yi Wei Lamiophlomis Herba |
"Tibetan Pain Crusher" | The cornerstone of Tibetan pain medicine — deeply moves blood, clears stagnation, and removes damp obstruction from joints and tissues |
|
Yan Hu Suo Corydalis Rhizoma |
Corydalis | Contains 80+ alkaloids studied for natural pain modulation — activates dopamine and opiate receptors without addiction or tolerance |
|
Bai Zhi Radix Angelicae Dahuricae |
Dahurian Angelica Root | Lifts and disperses surface tension — especially effective for head, facial, neck, and shoulder pain; balances the deeper actions of the formula |
Corydalis Relief Salve
Topical · Botanical EZ · Nerve Pain + Sensitive Skin
A gentle yet powerful salve that brings Corydalis directly to the site of pain — without heat, without menthol, without a strong smell.
- Targets the painful area directly — fast, local relief
- No menthol or camphor — ideal for people sensitive to strong sensations
- Works through dopamine and opiate receptor pathways — non-addictive, non-habit-forming
- Gentle enough for neuropathy from cancer treatment or diabetes
- Can be applied after Evil Bone Water for complementary, layered relief
| Ingredient | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Corydalis (Yan Hu Suo) | Key pain-relieving herb — activates natural pain-modulating pathways topically |
| Arnica | Reduces bruising, swelling, and soreness |
| Frankincense & Myrrh | Anti-inflammatory, supports circulation and tissue healing |
| Palmarosa & Lavender | Skin-balancing, calming, gentle scent |
| Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax | Moisturizing base that creates a slow-release barrier for steady absorption |
Both products in this combo share the same foundational herb: Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis). This isn't a coincidence — it's the reason this pairing works so well.
In the Tea — Systemic
- Absorbed through the digestive tract
- Reaches pain pathways throughout the body
- Activates dopamine D1, D3, D5 receptors
- Modulates opiate pathways without addiction risk
- Works on chronic and deep stagnation patterns
In the Salve — Topical
- Absorbed through the skin at the site of pain
- Delivers concentrated relief locally
- Slow-release through the salve base
- No stomach or systemic involvement
- Works on surface and nerve-level pain
Together, Corydalis works on your pain from both directions simultaneously — systemic modulation from the tea, direct site relief from the salve. This is why people who use one alone often get more results when they add the other.
| Pain Pattern | Why This Combo Helps |
|---|---|
|
Nerve pain (neuropathy) Diabetic, cancer-related, radiating |
Corydalis specifically targets nerve pain pathways — both products bring this to the area and to the system |
|
Cold & damp pain patterns Worse in cold weather or humidity |
Du Yi Wei and Bai Zhi in the tea are specifically indicated for cold-damp obstruction — this is their home territory |
|
Trying to reduce OTC pain meds Ibuprofen, Tylenol, NSAIDs |
AoYi Tea works through different pathways than NSAIDs — safe to use as a complement or gradual alternative |
|
Menstrual & cyclical discomfort Cramping, pelvic stagnation |
Yan Hu Suo is one of TCM's primary herbs for moving blood and relieving cramping — the tea addresses this systemically |
|
Sensitive to strong smells or sensations No menthol, no camphor |
Neither product uses heating or cooling agents — this is the go-to combo for people who find other topicals too intense |
Tip: If you're also using Evil Bone Water, this combo stacks well with it. Apply Evil Bone Water first (alcohol base opens circulation), then layer the Corydalis Salve on top. The tea works independently of the topicals.

Before you order
Start with our free Topical Guide, or go with what you feel. Topicals such as Evil Bone Water act fast on sore muscles, bruises and stiff joints; salves and balms stay on the skin longer; teas and herbal supplements support the body from the inside.
