History of Yunnan Baiyao
Formulated in 1916 by Qu Huanzhang, a Chinese physician from Yunnan, Yunnan Baiyao’s formula underwent alterations during the Cultural Revolution. In 1955, Qu Huanzhang's wife, Miao Lanying, shared the formula with the Chinese government, leading to the industrial-scale production of the product at the Yunnan Baiyao factory starting in 1956. Over time, the demand for various dosage forms increased, and Yunnan Baiyao expanded its product line to include capsules, tinctures, ointments, aerosols, and more. Experienced doctors often combine Yunnan Baiyao with other medications to develop tailored dosages based on a patient's condition.
