bubble_chart Efficacy

Harmonizing qi and blood, relieving spasms and alleviating pain.

bubble_chart Indications

1. Liver yin deficiency, impairing the spleen and stomach, leads to abdominal cramping and pain.
2. Insufficient yin fluids fail to nourish the tendons and vessels, resulting in spasms and cramps in the hands and feet.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

This formula, composed of only two ingredients, is widely used in clinical practice. It can be appropriately applied to any pain caused by spasms, regardless of the location of the pain. In the formula, Peony Root is sour, bitter, and slightly cold, nourishing yin and enriching blood; Prepared Liquorice Root is sweet and warm, warming the middle and relieving spasms. When these two herbs are used together, the sour and sweet flavors transform into yin, restoring the yin fluids. When the tendons and vessels are nourished, the spasms in the feet naturally relax; when the liver yin is sufficient, it does not invade the spleen earth, and the spasms are naturally cured!
