Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction
Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine formula primarily used for promoting blood circulation and alleviating pain by dispelling blood stasis. This remedy is particularly effective for conditions related to blood stasis in the lower abdomen, such as irregular menstruation.
Formula: The decoction includes ingredients like Fructus Foeniculi (7 seeds, roasted), Rhizoma Zingiberis (0.6g, roasted), Corydalis Rhizome (3g), Myrrha (6g, powdered), Angelica Sinensis (9g), Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hu (6g), Cinnamomum Cassia (3g), Radix Paeoniae Rubra (6g), Pollen Typhae (9g), and Semen Meliae Toosendan (6g, roasted). These are boiled in water and divided into 2-3 doses per day.
Functions and Indications: This formula is known for invigorating blood circulation, warming the meridians, and relieving pain. It is particularly used for symptoms like abdominal pain with lumps, menstrual irregularities, and delayed conception, which may stem from blood stasis obstructing circulation. The herbal components work together to enhance blood flow and regulate vital energy, thus alleviating discomfort.
