Traditional Uses

In TCM, Da Feng Zi has long been used in external applications. Traditionally, the seed kernels were crushed or processed into oils and ointments for topical use in folk herbal practice. It was historically paired with other wind-dispelling herbs in external washes and plasters. Because the seed is considered toxic when taken internally, traditional texts emphasize external use only under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.
