Description Within this formula, Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri), Xiang Fu (Rhizoma Cyperi), and Zhi Ke (Fructus Aurantii), course the liver and rectify the qi. Bai Shao (Radix Alba Paeoniae), and Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), supplement and nourish the blood, thus emoliating and harmonizing the liver. In addition, Chuan Xiong moves the qi within the blood and empirically is effective for stopping pain. Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), harmonizes all the other medicinals in the formula. However, with Bai Shao, it also is famous for relaxing cramping and tension.

This formula comes from Zhang Jie-bin (a.k.a. Zhang Jing-yue)s Ming dynasty Jing Yue Quan Shu (The Complete Writing of Jing Yue) published in 1624 CE.
