Traditional Uses

In TCM, Ding Gong Teng is traditionally associated with dispelling wind and dampness, unblocking the channels, and easing soreness of joints and sinews. It has historically appeared in classical liniments and decoction formulas and is sometimes prepared with other herbs for external application. Because the raw herb is traditionally considered potent, it has been used in small, carefully measured amounts under professional supervision rather than as a daily tea.
