Horse chestnut seed treatment for stroke-induced hemiplegia on March 19, 1980

Zhang Xichun said: “Horse chestnut seed can open up meridians and penetrate joints, with a power far surpassing other medicines.” Therefore, he created “Zhen Tui Wan,” using this medicine in combination with others to treat hemiplegia. Modern medicine believes that the “strychnine” component in horse chestnut seed has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, enhancing muscle tension. Comrade Du Shigui from the Central Hospital of Xuchang City in Henan Province used this medicine in combination with others to cure a case of stroke-induced hemiplegia. Mr. Ma, who suffered from hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, was first treated with Antelope Horn and Uncaria Hook Vine Soup, and then with Bu Yang Huan Wu Soup, before finally taking 0.7g of horse chestnut seed powder twice daily, resulting in rapid recovery of his limbs.
