Formula Origin

Formulas Kept by the Wei Family (1227 AD)

Formula Description

Suo Quan Wan is a 3-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Sharp-Leaf Galangal Fruits (Yi Zhi Ren) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1227 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that secure Essence and stop enuresis. Its main actions are: 1) warms the Kidneys 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 Suo Quan Wan is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Bladder Deficient and Cold. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as urinary incontinence or postpartum incontinence for instance.
