Answers to common questions

Ji Wu Li (JWL) is a blend of Chinese herbs made into a Super Extra Strength topical cream, self-adhesive skin patches and 1000 mg capsules. It’s designed as an add-on for people living with ALS and other motor neuron diseases.

No. Ji Wu Li is an add-on to the care you already have. Please talk with your neurologist or care team before adding anything new, and never stop a prescribed medication without your doctor’s advice.

In a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 120 people with ALS, those using a Ji Wu Li patch declined about 16% more slowly on the ALSFRS-R over 20 weeks. It was a single study, and the researchers call for a larger one. Read the summary.

The herbs are Ren Shen, Chi Fu Ling, Zhi Gan Cao, Bai Zhu, Huang Qi, Rou Cong Rong, Guan Hua, Hong Jing Tian and Yin Yang Huo, in a Dama Er Fen oil base. The cream base is water, glycerin, shea butter, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, cocoa, vitamin E and aloe leaf juice.
