Formula Origin

Correction of Errors Among Physicians (1830 AD)

Formula Description

Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang is a 11-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Peach Kernels (Tao Ren), Safflowers (Hong Hua) and Szechuan Lovage Roots (Chuan Xiong) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1830 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that invigorate Blood and dispel Blood Stagnation. Its main actions are: 1) invigorates the Blood and 2) dispels blood 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 Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Heart Blood Stagnation, Heart Vessel obstructed or Qi And Blood Stagnation. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as coronary artery disease, rheumatic valvular heart disease or hypertension for instance.
