Formula Origin

Discussion of Cold Damage (220 AD)

Formula Description

Wu Zhu Yu Tang is a 4-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Evodia Fruits (Wu Zhu Yu) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 220 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that warm the middle and dispel Cold. Its main actions are: 1) warms and tonifies the Liver and Stomach and 2) directs Rebellious Qi downward.

 

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 Wu Zhu Yu Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Stomach Yang Deficient and Cold or Cold invading the Stomach. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as acute gastroenteritis, cholecystitis or morning sickness for instance.
