Here
we introduce a standardized group of herbs, minerals
and animal ingredients, as used Traditional Korean Medicine.
These Hanbang ingredients are the most commonly used
in Hanbang traumathology liniments.
Herbs are organized alphabetically, by scientific
names.
We include the Hanja writing and the Pinjin
Chinese name, to facilitate purchase in Chinese Herbs shops
in Western Countries (the only places in the West to find
Hanbang ingredients).
The effects (uses) of the different ingredients were coded
to make it easier their analysis. Follow the link to see
the codes.
Composition
includes:
- Main ingredients aimed at attaining the required
effect;
- Assisting ingredients, to enhance the effects
of the main ingredients;
- Secondary ingredients, to reduce
secondary symptoms and side effects of main and assisting ingredients;
- Adjusting
ingredients, to enhance smell and absorption of the whole formulae,
Follow the links to the list of ingredients:
A formula is made from
10-15 ingredients with dosage depending on individual level
of conditioning and training strategy. Obviously, formulae for the start up training
may not be of use for advanced training, as conditioning
follows different steps:
- At the beginning, inflammation, skin
rupture, bleeding and bruises are the main consequences of conditioning
training.
- As you improve, training becomes more intense and
aggressive, killing superficial nerves, as the skin gets thicker
and tissue gets less prone to inflammation.
- After skin and
underlying tissue becomes resilient, bone, cartilages and ligaments
start to suffer more stress, and an advanced formula is needed to protect and develop inner tissues.
- When you reach the maintenance
level (this is highly subjective), you shift your traning to improving blood and Ki flow (this is very important), and
conservation of healthier cartilages and other sensitive tissue.
There exist a different formula
for each particular stage and strategy training along the conditioning process.
Note that not all the ingredients with a particular
property act the same way. And not all ingredients combine adequately
in a harmonic mixture ( synergy).
If you are not familiarized with Hanbang theory, maintain
the structure and composition of our formulae. They were structured
by specialists. It is not in the scope of this Site
to teach Hanbang theory.
There exist several hundred known Hanbang ingredients used in
liniments and other products used on trauma therapy. Many of
them are used for conditioning training and recovery of injuries
related to Martial Arts practice.
If you want to experiment with
herbs combinations and amount variations, you need to be under
the supervision of a trained Hanbang specialist or a Han Kuk
Mu Sul teacher with this particular knowledge.
