Primary Actions

Extinguishes wind and stops spasms ... Quan Xie is classically used for seizure, tetanic spasm, stubborn twitching, and other internal-wind patterns with strong convulsive features.
Unblocks collaterals and relieves pain ... facial paralysis, severe headache, and difficult channel obstruction from wind-phlegm are among its classic uses.
Attacks toxins and disperses stubborn nodules ... tiny directed doses also appear in old practice for hard swellings, persistent sores, and fixed painful obstruction.

Qian Zheng San ... classic facial-deviation formula pairing Quan Xie with Bai Fu Zi and Jiang Can.
Ding Xian Wan and related seizure formulas ... Quan Xie appears in small amounts for internal-wind and convulsive patterns.
Topical or powdered nodule and channel-obstruction formulas ... old specialty use for stubborn pain and swellings.

Traditional materia medica places Quan Xie among the stronger wind-extinguishing animal substances that stop spasm and unblock the collaterals.
Its reputation for both pain relief and toxin-attacking explains why it crosses neurologic, painful, and stubborn-swelling patterns.
Older practice always treated dosing and processing carefully because scorpion was recognized as potent rather than gentle.
