Safflower oil is a topical Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, and it is recommended that patients rub their fingers together for about 15-30 minutes after application. Safflower oil is mainly used in the treatment of rheumatic bone pain, bruises and battering injuries as well as external headaches and itchy skin. For patients with soft tissue injuries, safflower oil can be used 24 hours after the injury to give external application to the injured area. Before using safflower oil, patients can scrub the injured area with warm water in advance, and rubbing with fingers for about 15-30 minutes after application is recommended to help safflower oil be fully absorbed by the skin and achieve better therapeutic effects. Safflower oil can be applied 3-4 times a day with an interval of 6-8 hours as appropriate. However, acute injuries should not be pressed hard, and safflower oil should not be used for patients with broken skin and exuding wounds, so as not to aggravate the condition due to strong stimulation. In addition, patients with allergies should use safflower oil with caution. It is recommended that patients apply a small amount locally before use and observe for 15 minutes without allergic symptoms before use.
