Formula Description

Shi Quan Da Bu Tang is a 10-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Milkvetch Roots (Huang Qi) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1180 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that tonify Yin and Yang. Its main actions are: 1) warms and tonifies Qi and 2) warms and tonifies Blood.

 

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 Shi Quan Da Bu Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Qi and Blood Deficiency or Kidney-Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as absence of menstruation, scanty menstruation or anemia for instance.
