Formula Origin

Essentials from the Golden Cabinet (220 AD )

Formula Description

Xuan Fu Hua Tang is a 3-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 that invigorate Blood and dispel Blood Stagnation. Its main actions are: 1) unblocks the Yang and 2) expands the chest.

 

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 Hua Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Qi Stagnation in Chest. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as chronic hepatitis, persistent hepatitis or cirrhosis for instance.
