Danshen Baibixiao

Danshen Baibixiao is a **Traditional Chinese Medicine formula** that has been used clinically for the treatment of **psoriasis** for decades[1][3]. It is a **combination of multiple herbal ingredients**, with danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) as one principal component. The formula has demonstrated anti-psoriatic activity in preclinical models, particularly by ameliorating inflammation in imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mice. Mechanistically, Danshen Baibixiao acts by **downregulating inflammatory cytokines** such as TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-23, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-22. It also **suppresses activation of the NF-κB, STAT3, and MAPK signaling pathways** and modulates the IL-23/TH-17 immune axis, contributing to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects relevant to psoriasis[1][3].
