TongFuSan

TongFuSan is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal powder formula designed for external application, specifically to the ShenQue acupoint (umbilicus). It is primarily developed and studied by institutions such as Beijing Friendship Hospital for the treatment of acute pancreatitis complicated by gastrointestinal dysfunction. The formula typically incorporates botanical ingredients such as *Rheum palmatum* (Da Huang) and Mirabilite (Mang Xiao), which are recognized in TCM for their purgative and heat-clearing properties. When applied topically, the active components are absorbed percutaneously to restore gastrointestinal motility, alleviate abdominal distension, and mitigate systemic inflammatory responses associated with severe pancreatitis.
