Description:

The mixture was compiled in 1830, when it was published by Wang Qing-Ren in his daring work "Remedies for the Errors of Medical Circles", for three precise indications: sharp, stabbing pains in the chest and head area and pressure pain in the epigastrium with belching. Its basis is even older, with 66% of its composition being the 13th century Tao Hong Si Wu Tang. However, even today, after almost 200 years, it is the most effective blend for moving the blood and their blockages, especially in the upper radiant area.

In addition to pain, the condition is manifested by the tissues and mucous membranes being "nasalized" - tinged with a blue or purple color that tends to indicate a slowing or blockage in the bloodstream. The pain is caused both by the blockage itself and, more importantly, by the tissues not being sufficiently nourished - supplied with oxygen. This typical colouration is also observed on the face, tongue and pulse. Pain in the chest or rib area is accompanied by palpitations, dizziness, restless sleep, irritability, possibly depressive tuning. Yes, even insomnia or depression can have its root in a blockage of the blood. Long hiccups or a feeling of shortness of breath can also occur.

The blend was formulated for conditions with blood blockage in the upper radiant area, but because of its effectiveness it is also used for free flow problems even "on the periphery", such as impending venous thrombosis or conditions following such, or after trauma including concussion. Modern indications include ischaemic heart disease with angina pectoris, arrhythmias and hypertension caused by blood blockage. It can also be used prophylactically, during or after an impending ischaemic stroke.
