The bone-setting grass wine is a traditional Chinese medicine wine used to treat sprains and injuries. It is mainly made from the herb called bone-setting grass (also known as blood-full herb). This medicinal wine has the effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain, promoting bone growth, and accelerating fracture healing.

[Expanded Extension]
Bone-setting grass, also known as blood-full herb, has the effects of eliminating blood stasis and promoting tissue regeneration, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals. When soaked in wine and consumed, it can strengthen the bones and treat rheumatic bone pain. The leaves can be used for treating sprains and bone-setting.
There is a rather shocking legend about the origin of the name bone-setting grass: In the tropical rainforest of Yunnan, China, an elderly Hani traditional Chinese medicine practitioner was collecting herbs. When he was resting under a big tree, a large centipede crawled over.
The old medicine practitioner chopped it into two pieces with a knife. The two pieces of the centipede struggled on the ground. But soon, another centipede came and picked up a green leaf, placing it on the injured part of the centipede.
After a while, the two pieces of the centipede miraculously connected and slowly crawled into the grass. Inspired by this, the old medicine practitioner began to develop and utilize bone-setting grass...
A single leaf of bone-setting grass allowed the centipede to reconnect its severed body and revive with full blood. It is truly incredible. However, it is true that bone-setting grass has the efficacy of treating rheumatic diseases and bone-setting injuries.
