Xuetie Dingchuan Ointment

Xuetie Dingchuan Ointment is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) topical preparation developed by the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine for the treatment of bronchial asthma. It is primarily utilized in acupoint application therapy (Xue-wei Tie-fu), a method where the ointment is applied to specific acupuncture points (such as BL13/Feishu and GV14/Dazhui) to achieve therapeutic effects. The formulation typically contains herbal ingredients like *Semen Sinapis*, *Corydalis Rhizoma*, *Euphorbia kansui*, and *Asari Radix et Rhizoma*. Its mechanism of action involves the transdermal absorption of active herbal components and the stimulation of acupoints, which together modulate the immune response (e.g., balancing Th1/Th2 cytokines), reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, and alleviate chronic airway inflammation. It is frequently used in "winter disease summer treatment" protocols to prevent asthma exacerbations.
