Spreads the Liver qi, strengthens the Spleen, nourishes the blood, and clears heat.* - Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Formulas & Strategies
Within this formula, Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan), and Zhi Zi (Fructus Gardneiae), clear heat and resolve depression and especially clear heat from the blood aspect. Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri), courses the liver and resolves depression. The combination of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), and Bai Shao (Radix Alba Paeoniae), nourishes the blood and emolliates the liver. Because Dang Gui is somewhat aromatic, it moves the qi, but because it is sweet, it also relaxes tension. Therefore, it is an essential medicinal for treating liver depression with blood vacuity. Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae), and Fu Ling (Poria), fortify the spleen and eliminate dampness. Mixfried Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), boosts the qi and supplements the center as well as relaxes the livers tension. It is the assistant medicinal in this formula. This formula is a modification of Xiao Yao San (Rambling Powder) from the Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang (Tai Ping Imperial Grace Formulary). As such, it comes from the late Qing dynasty Nei Ke Zhai Yao (The Selected Essentials of Internal Medicine) published in the mid 19th century.
