Bushen Huoxue

Bushen Huoxue is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapeutic method and herbal formulation used to tonify the kidney and promote blood circulation. In clinical settings, particularly at Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University, it is applied to enhance fracture healing and manage knee osteoarthritis, often following surgical procedures like biplanar open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). The formulation typically consists of multiple herbal ingredients aimed at improving local blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating osteoblast activity to accelerate bone regeneration and consolidation. Its use is rooted in the TCM principle that bone health is governed by the kidney and that invigorating blood flow is essential for resolving stasis and promoting tissue repair.
