From the perspective of ingredients and effects, this product mainly contains traditional Chinese medicinal components such as Rhizoma Ligustici (Gao Ben), Radix Angelicae Dahuricae (Bai Zhi), and Radix Saposhnikoviae (Fang Feng), which have functions of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. Clinically, it is commonly used for treating joint pain, muscle soreness, and limited flexion and extension caused by invasion of cold and dampness. It is especially suitable for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and soft tissue injuries that belong to the cold-dampness syndrome type. The medication exerts localized therapeutic effects when applied externally by spraying onto the affected area.

Regarding usage scenarios, it is suitable for localized discomfort clearly caused by cold-dampness obstruction, provided the skin is intact and without infection. It should not be used if there is skin ulceration, exudation, or allergy to any of the ingredients. Additionally, for redness, swelling, and heat-related joint pain caused by damp-heat, or for muscle pain not caused by cold-dampness factors, this medication may be ineffective and could potentially delay treatment.

Before using Hao Bai Shang Shi Qi Wu Ji, ensure the skin condition and type of symptoms are confirmed. Apply the spray strictly according to the instructions provided in the product manual or as directed by a physician, avoiding contact with mucous membranes such as the eyes and mouth. If symptoms do not improve after three days of use, or if allergic reactions such as itching or swelling of the skin occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention promptly.
