Yunnan Baiyao (White Drug-Powder),
famed as miraculous cure worldwide, is surely the best known traditional
medicine of Yunnan Province in Southwest China.
Reputed as the Kingdom of Fauna and Flora,
Yunnan Province boasts the most resources of medical plants, medical animals and
traditional herbs in China, in terms of breeds. Therefore, Yunnan is also famed
as the home for herbs. Its natural condition is good for the cultivation of
White Drug-Powder. In 1914, folk doctor Qu Huangzhang carefully chose some
precious herbs and developed White Drug-Powder with secret formulas. When White
Drug-Powder began its distribution, it soon gained universal recognition with
its high quality and curative effect, although it was quite costly due to
exiguity of raw materials.
After liberation, Qu Huangzhang donated his
secret formula to the government, and soon Yunnan White Drug-Powder Factory was
set up to produce the medicine in batches and improve the quality. In
1980, Yunnan White Drug-Powder won the top prize of national high-quality
product.
Yunnan White Drug-Powder contains raw and
steamed pseudo-ginseng to normalize circulation and heal broken blood vessels.
These are combined with astringent herbs such as myrrh and antiseptic herbs to
heal wounds. The remedy comes packaged as loose powder and in capsules along
with a tiny red ball recommended for serious injury. The formula works to
normalize blood flow and heal wounds quickly so that excess bleeding, swelling,
bruising, and pain are more quickly resolved.
Yunnan White Drug-Powder is mainly used for
gunshot and puncture wounds, oozing slow-healing sores, bug bites, chronic
gastralgia pain and bleeding stomach ulcers.
