My mother is 58 years old and suffers from osteophytosis. A friend of mine mentioned that Qinjiao and Weilingxian can treat this condition. I'd like to ask, is this true?

Qinjiao and Weilingxian can be used to treat bone spurs (osteophytes). Both Qinjiao and Weilingxian have effects such as dispelling wind, eliminating dampness, unblocking meridians, and relieving pain, and are beneficial for treating conditions involving loose or degenerated bone. However, they need to be taken in combination with other Chinese herbs to effectively treat osteoporosis. Appropriately supplementing calcium during treatment can enhance therapeutic efficacy.
