Main Actions

  • Warms the Middle Burner
  • Dispels Cold
  • Promotes the movement of Qi
  • Alleviates Pain

Formula Origin

Small Collection of Fine Formulas (1842 AD)

Formula Description

Liang Fu Wan is a 2-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Lesser Galangal Rhizomes (Gao Liang jiang) and Coco-Grass Rhizomes (Xiang Fu) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1842 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that promote Qi movement. Its main actions are: 1) warms the Middle Burner and 2) dispels Cold.

 

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 Liang Fu Wan is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Cold invading the Stomach, Large Intestine Cold or Cold invading the Large Intestine. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers or dysmenorrhea for instance.
