bubble_chart Formula Principles

In the formula, Peach Kernel breaks and expels blood stasis, while Rhubarb Rhizoma purges heat and removes stagnation. These two herbs are used together to expel heat and stasis from the lower energizer, serving as the sovereign medicinal. Cinnamon Twig invigorates the blood to unblock collaterals, and Mirabilite purges heat and softens hardness, acting as the minister medicinal. Prepared Licorice Root, with its sweet and neutral nature, harmonizes the middle and moderates the harsh effects of purging and cooling, serving as the guiding medicinal. When these herbs are combined, they collectively achieve the effect of breaking blood stasis and expelling stagnation.
