Formulas that promote Qi movement

Main Actions

  • Regulates Qi and removes Stagnation
  • Moistens Dryness
  • Transforms Phlegm

Formula Origin

Awakening of the Mind in Medical Studies (1732 AD )

Formula Description

Qi Ge San is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Glehnia Roots (Bei Sha Shen) and Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs (Chuan Bei Mu) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1732 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that promote Qi movement. Its main actions are: 1) regulates Qi and removes Stagnation and 2) moistens Dryness.

 

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 Qi Ge San is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Qi Stagnation. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as esophagitis, esophageal diverticulum or early stages esophageal cancer for instance.
