Formulas that clear internal abscesses and sores

Main Actions

  • Clears Stagnant Heat in the intestines
  • Reduces swelling and disperses lumps

Formula Origin

Essentials from the Golden Cabinet (220 AD)

Formula Description

Da Huang Mu Dan Pi Tang is a 5-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Rhubarb (Da Huang) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 220 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear internal abscesses and sores. Its main actions are: 1) clears Stagnant Heat in the intestines and 2) reduces swelling and disperses lumps.

 

In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.

 

In this case Da Huang Mu Dan Pi Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Blood Stagnation or Blood Stagnation with Heat. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or iliac fossa abscess for instance.
