Formula Origin

Secrets from the Orchid Chamber (1336 AD)

Formula Description

Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang is a 7-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Dong Quai (Dang Gui), Unprepared Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang) and Prepared Rehmannia (Shu Di huang) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1336 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear Heat from Deficiency. Its main actions are: 1) enriches the Yin and 2) drains Fire.

 

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 Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Empty-Heat or Fire caused by Yin Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as tuberculosis, diabetes or hyperthyroidism for instance.
