Grapeseed oil and vitamin E serve as the base, helping to moisturize the skin in the area of application. The entire formula is based on natural herbal ingredients, with a gentle texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is BoneTonic Cream different from other topical creams containing salicylic acid?
Many topical creams on the market use methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil), capsaicin, or camphor as their main ingredients. These ingredients primarily provide temporary sensory relief by creating a burning or cooling sensation on the skin surface. Some users may experience skin discomfort due to these irritating ingredients.
SYT's BoneTonic Cream is formulated with natural herbal ingredients such as frankincense, pseudoginseng, and notopterygium, based on traditional Chinese medicine external care principles. It does not contain any Western medicine, steroids, or the irritating ingredients mentioned above. Its gentle texture makes it suitable for daily and repeated use. The formula was personally developed by Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner Cheung Yung, combining over 40 years of experience in Lingnan bone-setting.
When is BoneTonic Cream suitable for use?
BoneTonic Cream is a daily topical relief product suitable for use in the following situations:
• When experiencing stiffness or discomfort in the lower back, neck, or shoulders
• When experiencing discomfort in joints such as knees, elbows, or ankles
• When muscles feel sore or tight after exercise
• When experiencing musculoskeletal discomfort after prolonged office work, standing, or housework
• As part of a daily external care routine for joints and musculoskeletal health
This product is for external topical relief and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease or medical condition. If discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a registered Chinese medicine practitioner or doctor.
Can pregnant women use BoneTonic Cream?

Pregnant women are advised to consult a registered Chinese medicine practitioner or their attending doctor before use to ensure it is suitable. Breastfeeding women are also advised to seek professional advice first.
Can BoneTonic Cream be used concurrently with TCM treatment?
Yes. Many people choose to use BoneTonic Cream as a complementary daily external care product at home while undergoing professional TCM services such as acupuncture, bone-setting, or Tui Na.
If you have any concerns, it is recommended to consult your registered Chinese medicine practitioner about its suitability for combined use.
How long does a 60mL tube last?
It depends on the area of application and frequency of use:

Individual experiences may vary. If you experience any discomfort after use, please discontinue immediately. If musculoskeletal discomfort persists, it is recommended to consult a registered Chinese medicine practitioner or doctor for professional advice.
Can it be used with other topical products?
It is generally recommended to avoid applying BoneTonic Cream and other topical products to the same area at the same time to prevent affecting the user experience or causing skin discomfort. If you are using prescription topical medication, please consult your doctor or registered Chinese medicine practitioner first. You may consider using them at different times or on different areas.
