(Yi Gan
San Jia Wei)
This
formula is a modification of Yi Gan San (Repress the Liver Powder) originally
found in Yang Shi-ying’s Song dynasty Ren Chai Zhi Zhi Fang (Compassionate &
Abstemious Straight Guiding Formulas). The original formula is indicated for
excitability, nervousness, and irritability. Modifications are by Bob Flaws.
When modified, this formula can also be seen as a version of Xiao Yao San
(Rambling Powder). Our version is a 7:1 extract in a glycerin base.
