Wei Ling Xian Granules (10:1)

Chinese Clematis Root strongly mobilizes all twelve channels to unblock painful obstruction by dispelling wind, dampness, and phlegm, and to soften areas of hardness.*

Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

• Dispels wind-dampness, unblocks the channels, and alleviates pain: especially useful for treating wind painful obstruction, as it both releases the exterior and promotes the movement of qi in the channels. It can be taken alone as a powder with warm water for pain in the lower back and legs.*
• Softens and transforms fish bones: for fish bones lodged in the throat. This herb is ineffective in the treatment of deeply lodged or relatively large bones.*
• Also used for focal distention and accumulation in the middle burner because it reduces phlegm and pathogenic water.*
