bubble_chart Formula Principles

This formula is a liver-soothing and wind-dispersing agent, inspired by the "Antelope Horn Powder" and "Collaterals-Activating Pill" from the "Ben Shi" text, hence named Modified Antelope Horn Powder. It primarily uses antelope horn, Gastrodia Tuber, Uncaria, and Gentian to soothe the liver and purge fire, with Stiff Silkworm, centipede, and scorpion to assist in dispersing wind. Chinese Taxillus Herb, Suberect Spatholobus Stem, and Achyranthes Root are added to nourish blood, activate blood circulation, and unblock collaterals to alleviate impediment. Together, these ingredients achieve the effects of soothing the liver, dispersing wind, nourishing blood, and unblocking collaterals.
