| Description |
Within this formula, Tao Ren (Semen Persicae), Chi Shao (Radix Rubra Paeoniae), and Mu Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan), quicken the blood and dispel stasis. Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi), warms the channels and/or menses and thereby helps move the qi and blood. Fu Ling (Poria), seeps dampness and transforms phlegm. Because it leads the yang qi into the yin tract (i.e., promotes urination), it also helps move the qi and blood downward. This formula comes from Zhang Zhong-jing=s late Han dynasty Essentials from the Golden Cabinet (Jin Gui Yao Lue).
