Chuanwu and Caowu are both the tuberous roots of the perennial wild plant Bei Wu Tou (乌头), which is cultivated in Sichuan, and wild and other regions are called Caowu (草乌).

Functions of the two are basically the same, for the pungent, bitter, warm products, can be used to dispel wind and dampness, cold pain, wind and cold paralysis, joint pain, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, cold hernia for sure, anesthesia and pain relief.

The root is lumpy for Chuanwu, Caowu, and the lateral root is the epiphyllum, which is commonly used as the epiphyllum after concocting, because it is attached to the main root of Chuanwu, so it is called epiphyllum. The role of the epiphyllum is stronger than the Chuanwu Caowu, its big XinDaHe, good at running away, dispersing cold pain relief effect is stronger, and can return to the sun to save the reverse.

So the three are the role of pain, from the principle of Chinese medicine, there is cold in the body, cold so that the blood can not pass through the condensation, not through the pain, and aconite, appendicitis such pungent dispersal of the medicine, can make the warming of the cold evil, so that the pass into the pass, in order to achieve the role of pain but also by the way to get rid of the cause of the disease.

In terms of modern pharmacology, all three are also known to have pain-relieving properties. All three are poisonous and numb the mouth when eaten because they contain many alkaloids, the most important of which is aconitine, which are the main useful components of the drug, and have the effect of paralyzing the nerves and stimulating the sympathetic nerves, thus relieving pain. For example, the external use of aconite-containing pain cream and other drugs, we will feel the local stimulation of numbness, and then can not feel the pain, is because the nerve is subjected to paralysis.

Chuanwu and Caowu preparation analgesic clinical research data proved that, compared with conventional analgesics, in addition to the analgesic effect is true in addition to a number of advantages: ① and opioids and antipyretic analgesics and other chemical drugs compared to less adverse reactions to organ damage, such as damage to the liver, kidneys, brain, cardiovascular system and other organs; ② - generally do not produce because of the long-term repeated response to the dependence, tolerance and addiction; ③ can improve the patient's pathological state, as mentioned earlier, can be both pain relief and elimination of disease; ④ low price and abundant sources are easy to be accepted by the patient. Addictive; ③ can improve the patient's pathological state, as I said earlier, can be both pain relief and elimination of disease; ④ low price, rich sources, easy to be accepted by patients.

Reminder: Chuanwu, Caowu, epiphyllum, all have great toxicity, their effect on the nervous system is first excitation, and then inhibition, and in severe cases will inhibit the respiratory center leading to death. So be sure to use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor, using the correct concoction and decoction method.

Not quite sure where you are coming from with this conclusion. Medicines like aconite and epiphyllum are more for the treatment of rheumatic diseases, and problems like deficiency cold and dampness. Not bruxism.

That conclusion of yours is inherently wrong.

Not necessarily. For bruises and injuries, use herbs that stop bleeding and dissipate blood stasis, relieve pain and renew the tendons and bones.

Treatment can be categorized as initial, intermediate, or late depending on the condition, and medications vary.

First stop bleeding and pain relief then dissipate blood stasis and activate blood circulation to connect the bones. There are many related medicines

Safflower, peach kernel, sumac, frankincense, myrrh, angelica, earthworm, chuanxiong, blood exhaust, frankincense, myrrh, strychnine, musk, angelica, natural copper, blood exhaust. Plus some medicines that tonify the liver and kidneys and strengthen the muscles and bones. Commonly used medicines include Qingpi, Citrus aurantium, Muxiang, Yanhuisuo,, Paeoniae alba, Sanlang, Curcuma longa, Safflower, Frankincense, Myrrh, Panax ginseng, Sequel, Boneset, Liu Shunnu, Raw Rhubarb, and many more medicines. There are also a lot of ethnic minority medicines and traditional remedies.

It's straight up Chuanwu and other great poisons. You can't heal your wounds and lose your life!

Only a TCM illiterate person would ask such a question, there is no need to use these herbs for bruises and injuries. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that! This kind of question is really a crying shame.

A catchphrase that teaches the question: if you have eight-pronged hemp at home, you're not afraid to beat the crap out of it! This is just one of many bruising remedies.

Those who only know how to use Chuanwu and Caowu are not good Chinese medicine practitioners.

Chuanwu, Caowu and epiphyllum can be used externally, but be careful when taking them internally.
