Tongjiang (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

Tongjiang refers to a concept or methodology within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is incorporated into various herbal formulations. These formulations are complex mixtures of active ingredients derived from natural sources, used to treat a range of conditions. For instance, Tongjiang Mixture is used for reflux esophagitis, Tongjiang Granule for non-erosive reflux disease and epigastric pain syndrome, Tongmai Jiangtang capsule for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and Tongzhi Surunjiang Pills for acute gouty arthritis. The mechanisms of action generally involve anti-inflammatory effects, regulation of specific signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT/NF-κB and NLRP3, and the improvement of physiological functions like nerve conduction velocity or gastric pH. These traditional medicines aim to regulate visceral dysfunction, adjust imbalances, and restore overall physiological well-being.
