bubble_chart Formula Principles

The syndrome treated by this formula pertains to cold stagnation and blood stasis in the lower abdomen, or deficiency-cold in the Chong and Ren meridians in women, with internal obstruction of blood stasis and failure of blood to follow its meridian tropism. In the formula, Chinese Angelica, Sichuan Lovage Rhizome, and Red Peony Root invigorate blood and resolve stasis, nourish blood, and regulate menstruation; Fennel, Dried Ginger, and Cinnamon Bark disperse cold and promote yang, warming the Chong and Ren meridians; Typha, Trogopterus Dung, Corydalis Tuber, and Myrrh invigorate blood and resolve stasis, disperse nodules, and relieve pain. The combination of these herbs collectively achieves the effects of invigorating blood to dissipate bind, warming the interior to disperse cold, and regulating menstruation to relieve pain.
