Indication
This popular variant of Si Wu Tang (Dang-gui Four Combination BP060) was first recorded in the ‘Golden Mirror of Medicine’ (yi zong jin jian), 1742, a 90 volume treatise on general medicine, written by a staff of 80 persons, headed by Wu Qian, under the commission of the Qing imperial government.
It was originally used for severe menstrual cramping pain in women with Blood deficiency. Although often used for this purpose to this day, it may also be used for other gynecological orders. In addition, it may also be used as a base formula for the treatment of a broad range of general medical diseases due to Blood stasis with Blood deficiency.
The synergistic actions of the herbs are as follows:
Paeonia root (bai shao), Rehmannia root (shu di huang), Angelica root (dang-gui), Ligusticum root (chuan xiong): nourish the (Liver) Blood.
