Clinical application has proved that it has significant curative effect on vascular neuropathic headache and cerebral sequelae.

Therefore, those who are good at driving away external winds are strong in the kidneys, strong in the liver, strong in the liver, and strong in muscles and bones, so they are not harmed by the wind evil and can relieve paralysis and pain.
