TCM Formulation Strategy:
This formula is composed of xiao yao san, adding mu dan pi and zhi zi. The chief herb, chai hu, effectively relieves liver constraint. The deputies, dang gui and shao yao, work together to nourish blood and soften the edginess that results from liver constraint. The assistant herbs, fu ling and bai zhu, strengthen spleen qi and thus its transforming and transporting functions. Zhi gan cao, another assistant herb tonifies the spleen, and moderates spasmodic abdominal pain together with shao yao. Roasted sheng jiang, the envoy, warms the stomach and expels cold in the stomach. The other envoy, bo he, enhances the chief herbís ability to relieve liver constraint and also to disperse heat due to liver constraint. In order to strengthen the function of heat clearing, zhi zi and mu dan pi are added to this formula. So the focus of this formula is to spread liver qi to relieve liver constraint, strengthen the spleen, nourish the blood, and clear heat.
