What does it do?
Life is tough. Whether we are rich or poor, famous or ordinary, old or young, we all have had moments of anger, sorrow, depression,
confrontation etc. In most cases, we can cope with them and leave emotional stress behind. There are times, however, that we
think we might have got it over and then find it still hurts even after years. We may unintentionally breath a sigh of relief
and experience occasional flank pain. This may signal what is called in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as liver Qi stagnation.
In TCM, Qi is the vital energy whose smooth circulation around the body keeps its organs working in harmony.
Anger hurts the liver and causes blockage of a flow of Qi in the liver meridians. When liver Qi is stagnated,
one feels distending pain along the rib sides of the body for which X-ray examination does not
reveal any abnormality, tends to take a deep breath, easily gets upset or depressed, feels chest distension and
belching.
Liver Qi stagnation is also often shown in Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and in gastrointestinal disorders,
menstrual pain and irregularity, tension or migraine headaches.
Chai Hu Shu Gan Pian (Wan) acts to soothe the liver and disperse the stagnated liver Qi. The Chinese medicine
consists of a delicate combination of seven Chinese herbs as outlined below.
• Chai Hu (Bupleurum root) is the chief Chinese herb
in the formula. It relieves the stagnated liver Qi and soothes liver.
• Xiang Fu (Cyperi rhizome) soothes liver and moves Qi to disperse depression, regulates menstruation and relieves pain.
• Zhi Ke (Bitter orange)
regulates Qi and disperses fullness in the chest and abdominal distension.
• Chen Pi (Tangerine peel) moves Qi and strengthen digestion, expels dampness and transforms phlegm.
Chen Pi, together with Xiang Fu and Zhi Ke act in the formula to enhance the function of Chai Hu.
• Chuan Xiong is a unique Chinese herb that
both invigorates Blood and moves Qi. It expels Wind and relieves Pain.
• Bai Shao (Poeny root)
nourishes the blood, harmonizes the liver and relieves pain.
• Gan Cao (Licorice root)
tonifies Spleen and Qi and moderates the action of the other herbs.
