Formulas that promote Qi movement

Main Actions

  • Promotes the movement of Qi
  • Releases all types of Stagnation (Qi, Blood, Phlegm, Fire, Food and Dampness)

Formula Origin

Essential Teachings of [Zhu] Dan-Xi (1481 AD)

Formula Description

Yue Ju Wan is a 5-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Black Atractylodes Rhizomes (Cang Zhu) and Szechuan Lovage Roots (Chuan Xiong) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1481 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that promote Qi movement. Its main actions are: 1) promotes the movement of Qi and 2) releases all types of Stagnation (Qi, Blood, Phlegm, Fire, Food and Dampness).

 

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 Yue Ju Wan is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Liver Qi Stagnation, Phlegm or Qi Stagnation. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as low breast milk supply, menopausal syndrome or peptic ulcers for instance.
