Formulas for a rebellious Qi

Main Actions

  • Regulates the downward flow of Stomach Qi
  • Expectorant, treats hiccups

Formula Origin

Discussion of Cold Damage (220 AD)

Formula Description

Xuan Fu Dai Zhe Tang is a 7-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Inula Flowers (Xuan Fu Hua) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 220 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas for a rebellious Qi. Its main actions are: 1) regulates the downward flow of Stomach Qi and 2) expectorant, treats hiccups.

 

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 Xuan Fu Dai Zhe Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Rebellious Qi, Phlegm-Fluids in the Stomach and Small intestine or Rebellious Liver Qi invading the Stomach. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as hiccups, chronic gastritis or gastroptosis for instance.
