Dr. He Haochen
The main function of gypsum powder is to clear heat and purge fire, commonly used for treating various febrile conditions, lung-heat cough, and toothache caused by excessive internal heat. Additionally, gypsum powder has a certain effect in relieving irritability and quenching thirst, effectively improving symptoms such as restlessness, thirst, and mouth ulcers resulting from high fever. Moreover, it can also effectively alleviate muscle and joint pain caused by damp-heat.
