Formulas that secure irregular uterine bleeding and stop vaginal discharge

Main Actions

  • Strengthens the Spleen
  • Dries Dampness
  • Clears Heat
  • Stops vaginal discharge

Formula Origin

Fu Qing Zhu's Gynecology (1826 AD )

Formula Description

Yi Huang Tang is a 5-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Yam (Shan Yao) and Foxnut Seeds (Qian Shi) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1826 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that secure irregular uterine bleeding and stop vaginal discharge. Its main actions are: 1) strengthens the Spleen and 2) dries Dampness.

 

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 Yi Huang Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Damp-Heat, Spleen Yang Deficiency or Spleen Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as abnormal vaginal discharge, cervicitis or cervical erosion for instance.
