Dispel Stasis in the Lower Palace (Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang), a well known Blood-moving formula, relieves Blood stagnation and invigorates the Blood. This formula is excellent for addressing Blood stagnation, particularly of the lower body due to Cold from deficiency of Yang. This formula has the simultaneous advantage of warming Kidney Yang and moving Blood.

Chinese cinnamon bark and Ginger rhizome warm the Yang of the Lower Burner, relieve stagnation and invigorate the Blood. Dong quai root tail, Chinese red peony root and Sichuan lovage rhizome work together to move Qi and Blood. Myrrh resin, Bulrush pollen, prepared Corydalis yanhusuo tuber and Fennel fruit are included to relieve Blood stasis.

For stasis above the diaphragm, choose Blood’s Palace (Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang) or Dispel Stasis in the Palace of Blood (Jia Wei Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang). For middle body Blood stasis, choose Dispel Stasis in the Middle Palace (Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang).
