I burnt myself at work today and my boss put this dark brown oil based cream on it. I have no clue what it is. The box looks rather old and it is in Chinese, and can not read it. Only thing in English was the description on what it is for. The simbles are up on my display picture. it also has some regular letter words on it, but that too is in Chinese. It says: CHING WAN HUN. Anybody have any clue and can read this? Would be nice to know what I am putting on my skin. He did it so fas I did not have a chance to ask questions. Thank you in advance for any information.

Sorry that was HUNG not HUN.

Wash it off!

Wash it off!









No I don't know any chinese... sorry

its prolly tiger balm

whisper, I think that cream is supposed to make you want to rape the person who applied it to you.LMFAO x2

OH gees Widow. Now I think I must listen to Teddy.

Tiger Balm does not smell like this nor look like this.

ancient chinese secret????? does this stuff work?

It seems to be. my hand does not hurt.

Have you tried checking with anyone in China?

Granted, not that funny but I will share this odd bit...

Tried a new energy week at work. Everything was in Spanish. I recognized the typical Taurine and Ginseng. What I didn't recognize was "una de gato". Who knows what that means? Not I...until halfway through it I get the translation "nail of cat". Ground up cat claw, mmmm! Tastey!

Cream of some... Oh wait that would be stupid to say.

That is disgusting both of you.

got this from Google

Ching Wan Hung (also written Jing Wan Hong) is a Chinese herbal ointment that is considered especially helpful in the treatment of burns. It has been applied to chemical burns, radiation burns, and sunburns, as well as burns caused by fire, electricity, steam, or direct contact with a hot liquid. It is also utilized to treat hemorrhoids, poison oak/ivy dermatitis, and bedsores. It acts to relieve pain, decrease inflammation and infection, and aid in the regeneration of the damaged tissues. It is fast acting, alleviating burn pain almost immediately after application. Rub a generous amount of ointment directly into the affected area after it has been thoroughly cleaned. The area may be covered with gauze to further reduce possibility of infection and irritation. Gauze should be changed daily. Note that this ointment, like many Chinese ointments and liniments with a red color, can stain clothing.

The package labels, which have varied, gives this partial list of ingredients:


Pistacia chinensis, full grown. Lobelia 27.5%
Myrrh 17.5%
Tang-kuei 12%
Borneol 12%
Sanguisorba 8.5%
Chaenomeles 8.5%
Frankincense 8.5%
Carthamus 8.5%
Pistacia 8.5%

Pistacia chinensis, foliage.

Other ingredients mentioned in Chinese literature about this product include rhubarb and gardenia. The red color of the ointment comes from several of the herbs, hence the name "Wan Hung" (meaning myriad red ingredients; Ching means capital, referring to the origin of the formula in a capital city). An important ingredient, representative of those selected to treat burns, is Pistacia chinensis , with its distinctive red foliage. It is used to treat ulcerations and rashes, and is a common remedy for dermatitis caused by contact with poison oak and similar allergens. The active components include tannins, such as gallic acid, and simple flavonoids, such as fisetin, fustin, and quercetin.

Another important ingredient is Sanguisorba officinalis, with its brilliant purplish-red flowers (pictured right; the root, of similar color, is used). This herb contains tannins and saponins. It is traditionally used topically to treat insect bites and scalds. Laboratory tests show that sanguisorba decreases the amount of exudation from a burn wound and helps drying out the wound, thus decreasing the rates of infection.


Chaenomeles lagenaria , with its bright red-orange colored flowers (the fruits, used as the medicinal ingredient, are of similar color) is rich in organic acids that inhibit bacteria growth. The herb is used internally and topically to treat pain, especially arthralgia and spasms, but also for skin irritations and swellings.
