Dongshi Kaiwei Tie

Dongshi Kaiwei Tie is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) topical patch designed primarily for pediatric use to treat anorexia, dyspepsia, and poor appetite. It is applied externally, typically to acupuncture points such as the Shenque (umbilicus). The formulation generally consists of various herbal ingredients known in TCM for strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, such as Hawthorn (Shanzha), Medicated Leaven (Shenqu), and Malt (Maiya). By stimulating specific acupoints and allowing for the transdermal absorption of herbal constituents, it aims to improve digestive function and promote appetite without the need for oral administration, which is particularly beneficial for children who are reluctant to take medicine.
