Duyiwei Root

Traditional Use

Primary Actions

• Stops bleeding and reduces swelling ... Du Yi Wei is a Tibetan and regional Chinese medicine used for traumatic bleeding, wound-related swelling, and painful soft-tissue injury.
• Relieves pain in fractures, sprains, and musculoskeletal injury ... it is especially valued when pain and local tissue damage coexist rather than when the pattern is purely internal deficiency.
• Moves blood through traumatic and obstructive pain patterns ... traditional use includes bruising, rheumatic pain, and some gynecologic or dental pain settings where swelling and stasis are prominent.

Secondary Actions

• The classic identity of Du Yi Wei is analgesic and hemostatic at the same time, which is why it often appears in trauma and postoperative products rather than only in one-sided pain or bleeding formulas.
• This page follows the root lane imported in the dataset, but much of the modern literature discusses Lamiophlomis rotata more broadly as a whole medicinal material rather than isolating every plant part.

Classic Formulas

• Trauma and fracture support formulas ... used when bruising, pain, and bleeding or oozing coexist.
• Postoperative and wound-recovery patent-medicine logic ... one of the best-known modern clinical lanes for Du Yi Wei preparations.
• Rheumatic and painful-obstruction combinations in Tibetan-medicine style use when swelling and pain remain prominent.

Classical References

• Traditional Tibetan and regional use consistently emphasizes pain relief, hemostasis, swelling reduction, and support after injury.
• It should be understood first as a trauma and pain herb, not as a general tonic or simple anti-inflammatory supplement.
