Leaf of Pendulous Monkshood … Classic Formulas

Tie Bang Chui Ye · Folium Aconiti Szechenyiani

Primary Actions

  • Relieves pain and reduces swelling in external practice - Tie Bang Chui Ye is used for traumatic injury, painful swelling, boils, and carbuncles.
  • Disperses toxin - the leaf or stem-and-leaf material appears in regional northwestern and Tibetan-adjacent folk practice for toxic sores and inflamed lesions.
  • Acts as a strong local aconite analgesic - traditional use relies on topical or highly restricted use rather than on casual internal prescribing.

Classic Formulas

  • Tie Bang Chui Ye fresh poultice - traditional external use for bruising, blows, and localized injury pain.
  • Tie Bang Chui stem-and-leaf washes - regional practice for boils, carbuncles, and toxic swellings.
  • Tibetan and northwestern processed Tiebangchui traditions - broader species context showing that detoxification and handling are central to any medicinal use.

Classical Text References

  • Regional Chinese herb references describe Tie Bang Chui stem and leaf as bitter, acrid, hot, and highly toxic, used mainly externally for injury and sores.
  • This page preserves the leaf record as a distinct high-risk aconite entry rather than merging it into Cao Wu or generic monkshood pages.
  • Because much of the older documentation concerns stem-and-leaf material together, the monograph avoids overclaiming a unique leaf-only internal tradition.
