Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan (Pian)
Concentrated Chinese Herbs

Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan (Du Huo Ji Sheng Pian, Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang, Solitary Hermit Teapills, 独活寄生片) is a Chinese herbal remedy invented over a thousand years ago to alleviate pains due to wind and dampness. Today it is a primary herbal remedy Chinese used for rheumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic back pain, and sciatica etc.

What does it do?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), wind, cold, and dampness are invasive to the body if one lives or works long in such an environment. They hamper the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood and slowly weaken the function of the liver and kidney, which are fundamental to the generation of Qi, blood and Yin-Yang. Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan acts to expel wind and remove dampness, removes obstruction in Qi and blood circulation to relieve pain, invigorates Qi and nourishes the blood.

Modern biomedical studies relate the applications of Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan to arthritis. Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang is shown to inhibit inflammation reactions, to inhibit pain in several animal studies. It may also enhance the function of microphages to clear inflammatory tissues and increase the blood circulation1.

Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan is indicated in China Pharmacopoeia2 for blood nourishment, Qi invigoration, wind expelling, and dampness removal. The symptoms include cold pain, stiffness, and numbness of the low back and knees due to wind, cold, and dampness.

Below are highlights of some published human clinical studies on Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan1.

Arthritis (rheumatic or rheumatoid). In one study 41 patients with the condition for 3 months to 21 years were treated, 7 were recovered, 21 showed significant improvement, 10 showed some improvement, and 3 no improvement. In another trial of 2 to 3 months treatment of 52 patients, 35 showed significant improvement.
