Zhachong Thirteen-Ingredient Pill is a traditional Chinese patent medicine composed of multiple herbal ingredients such as Acorus tatarinowii, Saussurea costus, musk, clove, magnetite, and Aconitum kusnezoffii. It functions to dispel wind and unblock orifices, invigorate blood circulation and relax tendons, calm the mind, and eliminate dampness. It is primarily used to treat conditions related to the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and nervous systems, and is effective for various cardiovascular diseases, Baimei disorders (a term in traditional Tibetan medicine referring to neurological conditions), hemiplegia following stroke, and rheumatic or rheumatoid diseases. Additionally, Zhachong Thirteen-Ingredient Pills can also help manage sequelae caused by various brain disorders, such as concussion, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral embolism. It is important to note that patients should always consult a physician before using this medication and must take it only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider—do not take it blindly.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients should maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
