Raw Chuanwu and raw Caowu are both Chinese herbal medicines. Raw Chuanwu tastes pungent and bitter, and is hot in nature. It mainly has the effects of dispelling wind, removing dampness, relaxing meridians and relieving pain. For people with too much moisture, it can remove moisture from the body, treat rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, headache, urticaria, dermatitis, skin itching, etc., and also has anti-infection effects. Raw Aconitum has the function of quickly reducing swelling, promoting qi and activating blood circulation, and can treat diseases such as periarthritis of the shoulder and bone hyperplasia. Because both Chinese herbal medicines have toxic side effects, they must be used in small amounts.
