Formulas that invigorate Blood and dispel Blood Stagnation

Main Actions

  • Pacifies the Liver
  • Removes Stagnation
  • Drains Fire
  • Unblocks the Meridians

Formula Origin

Fu Qing-Zhu's Women's Disorders (1826 AD )

Formula Description

Xuan Yu Tong Jing Tang is a 10-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with White Peony Roots (Bai Shao) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1826 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that invigorate Blood and dispel Blood Stagnation. Its main actions are: 1) pacifies the Liver and 2) removes Stagnation.

 

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 Yu Tong Jing Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Stagnant Liver Qi turning into Fire. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as menstrual cramps for instance.
