Nerve pain relief from two directions — inside and outside, at the same time.
STEP 1 DRINK Ao Yi Tea — internal relief
→
STEP 2 APPLY Corydalis Relief Salve — topical relief
Why most nerve pain needs more than one approach.
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.
What's In This Combo
1

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
The Herb That Connects Both Products

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.

Why This Combination Works
Inside + Outside Internal herbs reach pain pathways topicals can't touch. Topicals deliver concentrated relief exactly where it hurts. Both at once covers more ground.
Same Herb, Two Delivery Systems Both products lead with Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis), so they reinforce the same mechanism rather than competing or canceling each other out.
No Overwhelming Sensations Neither product uses menthol, camphor, or strong heat. This makes the combo ideal for anyone whose nerve pain is aggravated by temperature extremes.
Non-Addictive, Long-Term Use Corydalis doesn't build tolerance — you don't need more over time to get the same effect. Safe for consistent daily use alongside or instead of OTC medicines.
Who This Combo Is For
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
How to Use This Combo
1
Prepare the tea Drink it Hot or Room Temp but don't drink it Cold!  Most people find it easiest to prepare a large jar in the morning and drink throughout the day. Consistency matters more than timing — daily use produces better results than occasional use.
2
Apply the salve to the affected area Rub a small amount of Corydalis Relief Salve directly into the painful area. The salve base creates a slow-release barrier — a little goes a long way. Apply up to twice daily. If you also use Evil Bone Water, apply EBW first, wait for it to absorb, then layer the Corydalis Salve on top.
3
Give it time Herbal formulas work best with consistent, repeated use. Most people notice a meaningful difference within 1–2 weeks of daily use. The tea works internally across that timeframe; the salve gives more immediate local relief while you build up.

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.
