History

Weinsch Flexible Joints Extra Strong is based on the classical formula Xiao Huo Luo Dan, first recorded in the Qian Jin Yao Fang (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) by Sun Si-Miao during the Tang Dynasty. The name means “Minor Invigorate the Collaterals Pill,” referring to its purpose of unblocking the channels and dispelling wind, cold, and dampness. Originally used to treat post-stroke symptoms like hemiplegia and numbness, it later became widely used for chronic joint pain, arthritis, and cold-type muscular pain. Its warming and activating properties make it ideal for conditions involving pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility due to cold and damp obstruction.

Pain Relief and Osteoarthritis
Randomized Controlled Trial in Knee Osteoarthritis:
A well-designed, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial evaluated HLXL-Dan (a closely related formula) in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The study found that while HLXL-Dan was safe and both groups (herb and placebo) showed improvement, there was no statistically significant difference in pain reduction or functional improvement between the herbal and placebo groups over 8 weeks.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Fufang Xiaohuoluo Pill (FFXHL) in Rheumatoid Arthritis:
Recent research using both in vivo (rat model) and in vitro (human synoviocyte cell line) systems found that FFXHL (a modern modification of Xiao Huo Luo formulas) reduced paw swelling, arthritis scores, and inflammatory markers in collagen-induced arthritis. The formula inhibited TNF-α–induced inflammation in human synoviocytes, supporting its anti-arthritic and analgesic properties.
