I put Deep Tissue Formula on the area (I still have some of the old deep heating balm - the newer version is terrible - very weak). Leave it on for 10 minutes and wipe it off. Then put the complete tissue formula on the area. continue.to/bulkherbs You can seran wrap it and add a heat pack on top if you'd like.
I leave it on until the redness from the DTF has worn off - then I shower. You can use it as often as possible throughout the day.
BTW, I have been drinking the tea myself 6-8x per day for the past week...I have a partially torn shoulder and have been going to physcial therapy trying to avoid surgery...
