Description | This formula comes from Wang Qing-ren's Qing dynasty Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine) published in 1830 CE. Within this formula, Tao Ren, Hong Hua, and Chuan Xiong are the sovereigns for quickening the blood and dispelling stasis in the upper burner. Dang Gui and Chi Shao are two of the ministers which quicken the blood and dispel stasis from the lower part of the body, while Chuan Niu Xi is the third minister which leads the blood to move downward and thus not become static in the chest. Sheng Di is a blood quickening and movement assistant which, when combined with Dang Gui, also prevents damage to the righteous. This is because both Dang Gui and Sheng Di both supplement as well as drain. Chai Hu, Jie Geng, and Zhi Ke are the qi-rectifying assistants which course the liver and upbear clear yang to the region of the chest to better stir or move the blood. The guide or messenger medicinal is Gan Cao which regulates and harmonizes all the other medicinals in the formula. |
