【Formula Meaning】

From “Annotation of Medical Forest Correction of Errors”: The formula contains Angelica Sinensis, Ligusticum wallichii, and Radix Paeoniae Rubra to nourish blood and invigorate blood. When used with stasis-removing herbs, it can remove blood stasis without injuring Yin blood.

Cortex Moutan clears heat and cools blood, invigorates blood and resolves stasis; Semen Persicae, Flos Carthami, and Flos Leporidis break blood and remove stasis to resolve masses; Rhizoma Cyperi, Herba Aquinas, Fructus Aurantii, and Rhizoma Corydalis move qi and relieve pain.

Ligusticum wallichii not only nourishes blood and invigorates blood, but also moves qi within blood, enhancing the effect of removing stasis; Radix Glycyrrhizae harmonizes the herbs. The entire formula is dominated by stasis-removing, blood-invigorating, and qi-moving herbs, allowing qi to lead blood, better exerting its power to invigorate blood, remove stasis, break masses, and resolve accumulations.
