Dr. Ding Yu
Jixueteng (Spatholobi Caulis) is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia. Jixueteng has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is also highly effective for joint pain caused by rheumatism and blood stasis, localized tissue pain due to poor circulation of qi and blood, and amenorrhea caused by cold conditions. Under medical supervision, it can be combined with other treatments for aplastic anemia and various other chronic diseases. Clinically, the use of Jixueteng should be appropriately administered under the guidance of a physician.
