The Efficacy and Function of Dushugan

Generally, Botudan (Herba Siegesbeckiae) has functions and benefits including promoting bone and tendon healing, reducing swelling and relieving pain, dispelling wind-damp, and detoxifying to treat sores. The specific effects are as follows:

1. Promote Bone and Tendon Healing

Botudan is a commonly used herb for treating fractures and sprains. It helps regenerate and repair bones, accelerating the healing process of fractures, and has significant therapeutic effects on patients with fractures.

2. Reduce Swelling and Relieve Pain

Botudan has the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain. It can be used to treat localized swelling and pain caused by injuries or inflammation. Its active ingredients can inhibit nerve conduction, reduce pain sensation, and promote tissue fluid reabsorption, thus decreasing local edema.

3. Dispelling Wind-Damp

Botudan has the function of dispelling wind-damp and is suitable for treating bi syndrome caused by wind-damp. When symptoms such as joint pain and limited movement occur, Botudan can eliminate wind and damp pathogens from the meridians, improve blood circulation in the joints, and alleviate pain and stiffness.

4. Reduce Swelling and Relieve Pain

Botudan can effectively alleviate swelling and pain caused by various factors, including those caused by inflammation. It helps relieve pain and reduce swelling by inhibiting inflammatory responses and improving blood circulation. It can decrease vascular permeability at the inflamed area, reduce exudation, and thereby achieve the effect of reducing swelling.

5. Detoxify and Treat Sores

Botudan has detoxifying properties and can be used to treat pyogenic skin infections. When heat toxins accumulate on the body surface, causing skin infections such as boils and carbuncles, Botudan can clear away heat toxins, inhibit the growth and proliferation of pathogens like bacteria, and promote the healing of ulcers.

Botudan should be used under the guidance of a physician to ensure safe and effective medication. Additionally, attention should be paid to the dosage and administration method to avoid adverse reactions caused by overdose or improper use.
