Shuo Ze, also known as Ligusticum, is the whole herb or root of the honeysuckle family plant Ligusticum. It has the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, clearing heat and detoxification, dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat various inflammatory diseases. Shuo Ze can also be used to treat fractures. The following is an introduction to the method of using Shuo Ze to treat fractures!

Shuo Ze has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and dispersing stasis. It is used to treat rheumatic pain, kidney edema, foot odor and swelling, dysentery, jaundice, chronic bronchitis, rubella itching, erysipelas, abscess swelling, bruises, and fractures.
Take the dried rhizome and wash it clean, then grind it into fine powder. Mix it with a little flour (4:1) when using, and mix it into a paste with white wine. Apply the paste to the fracture site on gauze, and then fix it with a splint. Change the dressing once every 5-10 days, and add a drop of white wine every other day to enhance the medicinal effect.

Regular X-ray examinations should be performed, and traction is generally not used at the same time. In the early stage, elevate the affected limb and perform voluntary muscle contraction exercises to reduce swelling. Later, appropriate movements should be performed to promote functional recovery. 45 cases of closed fractures in various parts were treated, with an average healing time of 33-48 days.
The therapeutic principle of Shuo Ze seems to be as follows: After external application, it first causes vasoconstriction, which can cause contraction of capillary smooth muscle cells, reducing or preventing blood flow from continuous capillaries to sinusoidal capillaries. This reduces the pressure in the sinusoidal capillaries, making it easier for tissue edema fluid to be absorbed.

At the same time, due to vasoconstriction, blood flow in the continuous capillaries increases, which can create a negative pressure-like suction effect at the junction of its proximal segment and sinusoidal capillaries, further reducing the pressure in the sinusoidal capillaries, which is more conducive to the absorption of exudate.
Due to the formation of this benign cycle, venous reflux disorders in the traumatic inflammatory area can be quickly relieved, swelling of soft tissues can be rapidly reduced, and pain can also be alleviated, which is beneficial for the healing of fractures.
In addition, 2 ml of 100% Shuo Ze injection, injected into the muscle twice a day, has a good effect on multiple abscesses.
