Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Ba Jiao Feng is traditionally associated with dispelling wind and dampness and with relaxing the sinews. Folk herbal practice has used the root in decoctions and external washes, often paired with other wind-dispelling herbs. Because the root is traditionally regarded as having some toxicity, it has historically been used in small, carefully measured amounts under professional supervision rather than as a daily tea.
