Formula Origin

Symptom, Cause, Pulse, and Treatment (1706 AD )

Formula Description

Gui Shao Di Huang Tang is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Prepared Rehmannia (Shu Di huang) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1706 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that nourish Yin and tonify. Its main actions are: 1) nourishes Blood and 2) nourishes Yin.

 

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 Gui Shao Di Huang Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Kidney and Liver Yin Deficiency or Liver Blood and Kidney Yin Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as absence of menstruation, menopausal syndrome or menstrual cramps for instance.
