bubble_chart Formula Principles
In the formula, Chinese Angelica, Peony Root, and Rehmannia nourish blood and enrich yin, which can tonify the liver. Trichosanthis Fruit, Asparagus Root, and Ophiopogon Tuber produce fluid to moisten dryness, which can nourish the lungs. When liver and lung yin deficiency leads to blood dryness, blood circulation becomes stagnant, hence Carthamus and Peach Kernel are included to invigorate blood and resolve stasis.
