Formula explanation
Astragalus, Codonopsis, mix-fried Licorice, and Atractylodes Macrocephala all fortify the spleen and boost the qi. Epimedium and Curculigo supplement the kidneys and invigorate yang. Bupleurum and Cimicifuga upbear yang and disinhibit the qi mechanism. Rectification of the qi is also aided by Citrus’s harmonizing of the stomach and downbearing of turbidity. Scutellaria clears heat from the blood, either damp heat or depressive heat. It also stops bleeding. Ophiopogon enriches heart, lung, stomach yin, clears heat from the heart and lungs, and trans-forms phlegm. Donkey Skin Glue and Dang Gui both nourish and supplement the blood. Dang Gui also quickens the blood, while Donkey Skin Glue also stops bleeding. Likewise, Leonurus quickens the blood and stops bleeding, while Artemisia Argyium warms the uterus and stops bleeding.
