1. Prescription Source & History

1. Traceability in Ancient Records

Jingfang Baidu Powder originated from 'Routine Examples of Surgery' written by the Ming Dynasty medical doctor Wang Ji. In ancient times, the treatment of surgical diseases faced many challenges, and the emergence of Jingfang Baidu Powder provided an effective prescription for the treatment of surgical diseases. In the medical environment at that time, for various diseases caused by exogenous pathogenic factors invading the human body, targeted prescriptions were needed for conditioning. Through long-term clinical practice and in-depth study of medical theories, Wang Ji summarized this classic formula, Jingfang Baidu Powder.

2. Historical Evolution & Inheritance

Over time, Jingfang Baidu Powder has continuously developed and improved in clinical applications. Later generations of medical doctors, while following the original formula, made appropriate adjustments and supplements based on different disease characteristics and clinical experiences. It is not only widely used in the surgical field but has gradually been used to treat various diseases in internal medicine, dermatology, etc., becoming one of the commonly used prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice. After being passed down for hundreds of years, it still plays an important role today.

Pathogenesis, Efficacy & Indications

1. Pathogenesis Analysis

The pathogenesis targeted by Jingfang Baidu Powder is mainly exogenous wind-cold-damp pathogens invading the body surface. When the vital qi of the human body is insufficient and the exterior defense is weak, the wind-cold-damp pathogens take advantage of the deficiency to enter the body, stagnate in the body surface, resulting in poor qi and blood circulation and meridian blockage. Wind pathogens are mobile and changeable, cold pathogens are stagnant and constrictive, and damp pathogens are heavy and sticky. When the three combine, a series of symptoms such as aversion to cold and fever, headache and body pain, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough and sore throat will appear in the human body.

2. Efficacy Explanation

- Relieving exterior cold

The pungent-warm exterior-relieving herbs such as Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Notopterygium incisum, and Angelica pubescens are combined with each other, which can quickly disperse the wind-cold-damp pathogens on the body surface, make the pathogens disperse from the surface, and relieve symptoms such as aversion to cold and fever, headache and body pain.

- Expelling wind and eliminating dampness

Herbs such as Notopterygium incisum, Angelica pubescens, and Saposhnikovia divaricata are good at expelling wind and eliminating dampness, and have good therapeutic effects on symptoms such as pain, soreness and heaviness in the limbs and joints caused by invasion of wind-cold-damp pathogens. They can remove the damp pathogens between muscles and joints and relieve pain and discomfort.

- Regulating qi and resolving phlegm

Drugs such as Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn and Platycodon grandiflorum can lower qi and resolve phlegm, and disperse the lung qi to resolve phlegm, helping to clear the stagnation of lung qi caused by exogenous pathogens, relieve symptoms such as cough and expectoration, and make the lung qi smooth and the breathing unobstructed.

3. Indicated Diseases

- Exogenous wind-cold-damp syndrome

Manifested as aversion to cold, fever, no sweating, headache, body pain, limb soreness and pain, nasal congestion and runny nose, cough with phlegm, etc. It is common in the early stage of cold, influenza and other diseases, especially those with more severe exposure to wind-cold-damp pathogens.

- Initial stage of sore and ulcer

If there are initial symptoms of sore and ulcer accompanied by aversion to cold, fever, headache, body pain and other exterior syndromes, which belong to the invasion of the muscular surface by wind-cold-damp pathogens and the healthy qi is not deficient, JINGFANG BAIDU SAN can also be used for treatment. By dispersing the exterior pathogens, it can control the development of the disease and promote the dissipation of the sore and ulcer.

Ligusticum wallichii Franch. promotes blood circulation and qi movement, dispels wind and relieves pain, strengthening the analgesic effect of the formula, and has a good therapeutic effect on headache, body pain, limb joint pain and other symptoms caused by exogenous wind-cold-damp pathogens.

3. Qi-Regulating & Phlegm-Resolving

Fructus Aurantii immaturus regulates qi and soothes the middle jiao, adjusts the qi movement of the spleen and stomach, and prevents qi stagnation from affecting the dispersing effect of drugs. Platycodon grandiflorum disperses lung qi and eliminates phlegm, making the lung qi smooth.
