Bai Fu Zi

Bai Fu Zi is a traditional herbal medicine derived from the dried tuber of *Typhonium giganteum* Engl. Produced by the Vietnamese pharmaceutical company Mediplantex (Mediplantex National Pharmaceutical JSC), it is a staple of traditional Vietnamese (Đông y) and Chinese medicine. It is traditionally indicated for the treatment of 'wind-phlegm' disorders, which include conditions such as facial nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy), stroke-related speech impairment, migraines, and certain skin conditions. The herb is known for its ability to dispel wind, resolve phlegm, and alleviate spasms. As a traditional herbal preparation, it is typically processed to reduce its natural toxicity before being administered in oral forms such as decoctions, powders, or tablets. Mediplantex markets this product as part of its traditional medicine portfolio rather than through a modern biotech R&D pipeline.
