Understanding of"ban(scar)"in Wu Shi Er Bing Fang(Formulas for Fifty-two Diseases)and by physicians throughout history,and its modern value
The understanding of"ban(scar)"in Chinese Medicine(CM)has a long history.As early as the medical book Wu Shi Er Bing Fang(Formulas for Fifty-two Diseases)unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs,there are detailed records of scar prevention and treatment.This is the earliest extant classic introducing the prevention and treatment of scars,providing an important theoretical basis for later physicians.The book discussed traumatic,old,and burn scars in detail,proposing combined treatments using medicinal herbs and other therapies.It emphasized integrated internal and external therapy,demonstrating significant efficacy in reducing scar formation.Building on the Wu Shi Er Bing Fang(Formulas for Fifty-two Diseases),later physicians continuously refined the therapeutic system of scars through theoretical innovations and practical experience,diversifying treatment methods and improving the precision of medicinal selections.Modern medicine has drawn valuable insights from this book,particularly in the treatment of traumatic,old,and burn scars.It has guided the development of CM-based scar treatment products,and provided theoretical support and practical evidence for contemporary medical practices.
