What does it do?
We all know how important the blood is. Blood is a very complex system.
Various cell types and factors
in the blood must be kept in a delicate balance for their proper function.
Blood has the amazing ability of regenerating itself, which is why women can undergo
menstruation normally without causing anemia. However, if the blood regeneration is
compromised, anemia may occur. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this belongs to
blood deficiency and may be manifested as pale appearance in face and body skin, lack of
physical strength, weak pulse, dizziness etc. For women, it may be further seen with thin
menstrual blood with light color, delayed or even absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
Fu Ke Yang Rong Wan (Pian) is precisely formulated with over a dozen
of Chinese herbs according to the TCM theory and clinical practice.
Among them, Dang Gui (Angelica) and Huang Qi (Astragalus) in combination nourish Qi to
generate the Blood; The combination is found in modern studies to induce the production of erythropoietin (EPO),
a natural hormone that promotes the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow; 1
Rehmanniae, Paeony, Ophiopogonis, EJiao and Angelica together nourish the Yin energy to produce the Blood;
Astragalus, Atractylodes, Licorice, and Tangerine Peel supplement Qi, strengthen the spleen, and
harmonize the stomach; Motherwort and Chuangxiong invigorate Qi and the blood; Artemisiae Argyi warms
the menses and relieves the pain; Eucommia tonifies the kidney; †
In TCM terms, Fu Ke Yang Rong Wan (Pian) is used for irregular menstruation associated dizziness,
flaccidity of the knees and loin and weakness of limbs, etc. Irregular menstruation may be shown
as premature or delayed periods, absence of menstruation, thin or heavy bleeding with light color.
The Chinese medicine may be also used for infertility due to irregular menstruation,
recovery of disease to gain strength. †
Interestingly, Fu Ke Yang Rong Wan (Pian) is often used to manage the facial
pigmentation as it relates to the blood stagnation due to weak Qi and blood deficiency. Taken regularly,
the Chinese herb may help women maintain a more youthful appearance and gain vigor.†
