bubble_chart Formula Principles
There are many causes for the formation of static blood, such as cold-damage disease Zabing, and the lingering of pathogenic qi, which can penetrate from the qi aspect into the blood collaterals, leading to poor blood circulation and internal retention of static blood. Moreover, because the location of static blood retention varies, various symptoms can occur. This prescription is suitable for the syndrome of static blood in the upper part. Therefore, the formula includes Peach Kernel, Carthamus, Red Peony Root, Sichuan Lovage Rhizome, and other blood-activating and stasis-removing ingredients. Among them, Sichuan Lovage Rhizome is pungent and warm, fragrant and penetrating, moving without staying, serving as a qi-regulating herb in the blood, specifically effective in reaching the head and guiding other herbs upward; musk resuscitation with aromatics, invigorating the blood to unblock collaterals; ginger and jujube can both regulate the nutritive and defensive qi and promote spleen and stomach absorption; old scallion, pungent and dispersing, warm and unblocking, can diffuse up and down, connect the exterior and interior, and guide yang into the collaterals, serving as the messenger for all herbs. The combination of these herbs is all about promoting flow, as flow leads to the resolution of stasis and activation of blood, thus curing upper body disorders.
