Gu Sui Bu (Dynaria rhizome)
Drynaria is a fern and it’s rhizome has been used in Chinese medicine for over a millennia. It was named gusuibu for its apparent ability to mend broken bones (gu= bones; sui= broken; bu= mend). It’s is considered one of the important herbs that can be used to heal damaged bones and ligaments. We use it in Second Aid Trauma Salve to alleviate pain and help with trauma to ligaments and tendons.
