Baichuan Jiangya

Baichuan Jiangya is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation developed by researchers at Xi'an Jiaotong University for the management of hypertension. The product is typically composed of several herbal extracts, most notably *Apocynum venetum* (Luo Bu Ma), *Uncaria rhynchophylla* (Gou Teng), and *Prunella vulgaris* (Xia Ku Cao). Its mechanism of action is multi-factorial, involving the inhibition of calcium channels (primarily via rhynchophylline from *Uncaria*), diuretic effects, and the potential modulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). It is primarily used in China for patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension, often categorized in TCM as liver-yang hyperactivity. While it is frequently marketed as a health supplement or nutraceutical, its formulation was developed through academic research and clinical observation at Xi'an Jiaotong University.
