A traditional formula for arthritis, chronic joint pain, stiffness, and lower back weakness

Relieve Bi (Du Huo Ji Sheng Pian) supports the body when long-term joint pain, stiffness, and weakness begin to affect movement and daily comfort. Sun Si-Miao first recorded it in Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang (Thousands of Golden Prescriptions for Emergencies) in 652 A.D. Practitioners have long chosen it when pain lingers in the lower back, knees, muscles, or joints, especially when cold, damp weather makes symptoms worse. It remains a trusted choice when chronic pain appears together with weakness and reduced mobility.

When to use it

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, practitioners choose Relieve Bi when wind, cold, and dampness obstruct the joints and muscles over time, while the body no longer feels strong enough to recover properly. The lower back may ache. The knees may feel weak. Joints may feel stiff, heavy, numb, or hard to move. Some also notice cold intolerance or pain that worsens in cold or damp weather.

Many choose this formula for osteoarthritis, sciatica, neck pain, low back pain, rheumatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lumbar disc problems, and other long-term musculoskeletal patterns. It suits those who want support when pain and stiffness come together with deeper weakness and wear over time.

Why it stands out

What makes Relieve Bi so useful is its combined approach. It does not only target pain. It also helps support the deeper weakness that often sits underneath chronic joint and back problems. This makes it a strong choice for natural support when long-standing pain, stiffness, and weakness all need attention together.

Research

Research on Relieve Bi has shown encouraging results in arthritis,  painful obstruction syndromes, lumbar disc herniation, osteoarthritis, sciatica, neck pain, and other chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Studies have reported reduced inflammation, better pain relief, improved mobility, and good long-term outcomes in degenerative and inflammatory joint disorders. Research has also highlighted supportive effects on connective tissue and disc health, helping explain its relevance when chronic pain and structural weakness appear together.

Important to know

Use Relieve Bi with caution during pregnancy.
