What are the effects and uses of Da Jie Gu Dan?

Generally, Dajiegudan (herbal medicine) has effects and functions such as promoting bone healing, reducing swelling and relieving pain, activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis, relaxing tendons and improving circulation, and strengthening bones and muscles. Patients are advised to use this medication under the guidance of a qualified traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to avoid self-medication, ensuring both its efficacy and safety. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Promoting Bone Healing

Dajiegudan contains various active ingredients, such as alkaloids and flavonoids. These components can enhance the activity of osteoblasts, accelerate bone cell division, proliferation, and bone matrix synthesis, thereby promoting callus formation at the fracture site and speeding up the bone healing process.

2. Reducing Swelling and Relieving Pain

The active ingredients in Dajiegudan can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, reduce inflammatory responses, and alleviate local swelling. At the same time, they act on the nervous system, raising the pain threshold and reducing the transmission of pain signals, thus providing analgesic effects and helping patients relieve pain.

3. Activating Blood Circulation and Removing Blood Stasis

Dajiegudan can improve blood circulation and promote blood flow, preventing blood stasis. Its active ingredients dilate blood vessels and increase vascular permeability, allowing blood to flow more smoothly through the injured area, accelerating the absorption and dissipation of bruising.

4. Relaxing Tendons and Improving Circulation

Through its blood-activating effect, Dajiegudan helps to unblock meridians and normalize the circulation of qi and blood. It also helps relieve muscle tension, reduce muscle spasms, ease injured tendons, restore their normal contraction and movement functions, thereby achieving the effect of relaxing tendons and improving circulation.

5. Strengthening Bones and Muscles

Dajiegudan contains various nutrients, such as minerals like calcium and phosphorus, as well as amino acids and vitamins. These nutrients provide nutritional support to bones and muscles, promote bone growth and development, enhance bone density and strength, and accelerate the process of bone regeneration and repair.

During the course of medication, patients should also maintain a healthy diet, eating more light and easily digestible foods while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods that may interfere with drug absorption and effectiveness.
