Dr. Wang Shengqiang
Sichuan Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng) has the effects of dispelling wind and eliminating dampness, thereby relieving pain. It is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used to treat dizziness, vertigo, headache, arthralgia, limb spasms, and tetanus. It is commonly administered in combination with other Chinese herbs via decoction. However, it must be used only under the guidance of a qualified physician; self-medication is strictly prohibited to avoid potential harm to the body.
