This invention belongs to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine. Specifically, it relates to a
traditional Chinese medicine composition, preparation method, and application for treating
ankylosing spondylitis. The raw materials include 10-20 parts of
Achyranthes bidentata, 10-20 parts of
Dipsacus asper, 5-15 parts of
Astragalus complanatus, 5-15 parts of
Curculigo orchioides, 10-15 parts of
Spatholobus suberectus, 10-20 parts of
Salvia miltiorrhiza, 5-10 parts of
Liquidambar formosana, 5-10 parts of
Clematis chinensis, 10-15 parts of
Clematis armandii, 5-15 parts of
Pinus massoniana, and 5-15 parts of
Scrophularia ningpoensis. This formula is meticulously formulated, addressing both the
root cause and the symptoms: it combines tonification and purgation, nourishing the liver and kidneys to treat the
root cause, while also dispelling wind and cold, and promoting
blood circulation to treat the symptoms. This formula can be used to treat
ankylosing spondylitis with symptoms of
liver and kidney deficiency, qi and blood stagnation, and cold-dampness obstruction, such as pain, stiffness, and
limited mobility in the spine or sacroiliac joints, with significant stiffness
upon waking and relief after activity, or accompanied by
peripheral joint pain, aversion to cold, cold limbs, dark tongue or
ecchymosis, and a deep, hesitant or wiry pulse.
