【Formula Analysis】

From 《Ji Yin Gang Mu》: Breast cancer mostly arises from stagnant Qi. The Liver governs anger and thrives on smooth flow. Stagnation obstructs this, accumulating essence. The nipple belongs to the Jue Yin meridian, and its Qi combines with phlegm, leading to accumulations and nodules. Therefore, wind herbs are used to follow the Liver’s nature, and Qi-regulating herbs to move stagnation. Ren Shen, Huang Qi, Dang Gui, and Shao Yao tonify Qi and Blood, while Gui Zhi, a blood herb, harmonizes the blood vessels.
