Loading... Please wait...Yunnan Baiyao is surely the best known traditional medicine of Yunnan, China.
There are several legends telling the story of its discovery.
The special effect of the medicine on wounds, bones, broken limps and even on gun shot wounds is legendary and there is no soldier who does not carry this life saving medicine with him.
The medicine originally comes in 2 shapes: one has been a powder for both internal and external use, and one is a very special and very small pill. This pill is magic and reportedly safes
the life of people who otherwise would just be doomed to die e.g. after seriously being wounded.
Here is the official list of applications for Yunnan Baiyao:
