Support for the Musculoskeletal System
Chinese herbalism offers various strategies for maintaining joint flexibility and comfortable movement. The choice of the right formula depends on the nature of the discomfort. Two commonly used formulas areDu Huo Ji Sheng Tang in Juan Bi Tang.
Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang: For the Lower Body and Vitality
This formula is very comprehensive and focuses on long-term support.
Target audience: People who need extra support in the lower back and knees, especially when they are sensitive to cold and moisture.
Operation: In addition to herbs that keep the joints supple (such asDu Huo), it also contains herbs that support general vitality (qi and blood). It is therefore ideal for people who are feeling a little weak and whose discomfort has been present for some time.
Juan Bi Tang: For the Upper Body and Movemen
This formula is more focused on “driving out” influences.
Target audience: People with discomfort in the upper body (neck, shoulders, arms) accompanied by a heavy feeling or sensitivity to wind.
Operation: The composition is designed to promote circulation in the upper limbs and protect against external influences such as drafts. It is often used for more acute situations or specific stiffness in the shoulders.
