Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bai Ji (Rhizoma Bletillae) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries, primarily for its hemostatic (stopping bleeding) and wound-healing properties. In the context of broken bones, Bai Ji is not a direct bone-healing herb in the way that some other TCM ingredients are, but it is traditionally used to help stop bleeding and promote the healing of soft tissue injuries, which may accompany fractures. Ancient TCM texts describe its use in treating traumatic injuries, including broken bones, often as a component of external powders or plasters to reduce bleeding, swelling, and pain at the site of injury.

Modern scientific validation for Bai Ji specifically supporting bone healing is limited. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that Bletilla striata extracts may have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects, which could indirectly benefit tissue recovery after fractures, but robust clinical evidence in humans is lacking. There is currently no high-quality scientific research confirming that Bai Ji accelerates bone union or directly supports the regeneration of bone tissue. As such, its use for broken bones remains primarily justified by tradition rather than by strong scientific evidence.
