Formula Origin

Collected Treatises of[ Zhang} ]ing-Yue (1624 AD)

Formula Description

Nuan Gan Jian is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Fennel Seeds (Xiao Hui Xiang) and Cinnamon Bark (Rou Gui) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1624 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that promote Qi movement. Its main actions are: 1) warms the Liver and Kidneys and 2) promotes the movement of Qi.

 

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 Nuan Gan Jian is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Stagnation of Cold in the Liver Channel. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as varicocele, hydrocele or inguinal hernia for instance.
