Clinical Evidence
A 2009 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that Liu Wei Di Huang Wan combined with acupuncture achieved an 85% total effective rate for chronic heel pain, significantly higher than NSAIDs alone (58%). The treatment group also showed reduced recurrence rates at 6-month follow-up.
Mechanism: The formula increases local blood circulation to the heel, reduces inflammation markers (TNF-α, IL-6), and promotes tissue healing.
