Formula explanation:

Within this formula, Tao Ren, Hong Hua, and Chuan Xiong are the sovereigns for quickening the blood and dispelling stasis in the upper burner. Dang Gui and Chi Shao are two of the ministers which quicken the blood and dispel stasis from the lower part of the body, while Chuan Niu Xi is the third minister which leads the blood to move downward and thus not become static in the chest. Sheng Di is a blood quickening and movement assistant which, when combined with Dang Gui, also prevents damage to the righteous. This is because both Dang Gui and Sheng Di both supplement as well as drain. Chai Hu, Jie Geng, and Zhi Ke are the qi-rectifying assistants which course the liver and upbear clear yang to the region of the chest to better stir or move the blood. The guide or messenger medicinal is Gan Cao which regulates and harmonizes all the other medicinals in the formula.

Dosage: According to Him-che Yeung in Handbook of Chinese Herbs and Formulas, Vol. 2, the standard daily dose in decoction for this formula is 90 grams. Because of the 10:1 concentration ratio and the efficiency of our manufacturing process it would take only 13 capsules per day of Blue Poppy's version of this formula to equal the standard daily dose. The actual prescribed dose should be determined by the practitioner on a case by case basis.
