Acupuncture and herbs for poor wound healing

1/24/2025

Acupuncture is more widely accepted and used than herbs for wound healing. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the wound site, which is important for healing.

This study by Pubmed https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3529882/ revealed that at 7 days the wound size in acupuncture-treat group was decreased more significantly compared to the control group, when they examined whether acupuncture has an effect on wound healing in injured rats.

In this video below Dr. Thomas N. Leung, Pharm BS., DACM, L.Ac, CEO of Kamwo Herbs explains how San Qi (Pseudoginseng) and Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) facilitates closing of open bedsores, non healing ulcers and diabetic sores.

Recent case success - closing a non healing wound with the herb San Qi (Pseudoginseng) in just over two weeks. After evaluation the injury was sprinkled over with San Qi, then covered with a gauze. Patient was sent home with a bottle of San Qi, and was instructed to repeat the treatment once a day after showering. With the daily treatments the wound closed in just little over two weeks. San Qi is the herb I frequently prescribe for pressure ulcers and pressure sores as well.

San Qi - Pseudoginseng Root
San Qi (Radix Notoginseng) therapeutic actions:
San Qi has a unique ability to stop bleeding without causing blood stasis, and can be taken internally or applied topically. Clinically, it treats hematemesis, hemoptysis, epistaxis, hematochezia, profuse menstrual bleeding, profuse postpartum bleeding, and external bleeding arising from trauma.
​San Qi also treats various external injuries such as bruises, swelling, inflammation and pain. Clinical applications include falls, sprains, fractures, contusions, and other traumatic injuries.
Dosage:
3 to 10 grams as herbal decoction. 1.0 to 1.5 grams per dose as powder, one to three times daily. In severe cases of bleeding, the dosage of San Qi is increased to 3 to 6grams of powder orally, two to three times daily. This herb is often used as powder or pills instead of decoction, because of its high cost.
Cautions / Contraindications:
• Use San Qi with caution during pregnancy.
• Use of San Qi is sometimes associated with the following side effects: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, headache, toothache, fatigue, and restlessness.

The pink tissue visible in the wound is healthy new skin, showing clear signs of tissue regeneration. The ulcer was originally much larger, but with consistent daily treatment, it is steadily improving.

How We Treat Diabetic Ulcers Naturally
Our simple and effective wound care process includes:
  • Cleaning the affected area after the patient showers

San Qi is widely used in traditional medicine for its powerful healing properties. It may help with:
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Non-healing wounds
