Starting the Engine to Turn the Wheels
Good blood circulation is essential for smooth movement and sensation in the limbs. In traditional Chinese medicine, the rule is: “Qi (energy) moves blood.” If there is insufficient energy, the blood will flow sluggishly, just as a river stagnates when there is no current.Bu Yang Huan Wu Tangis a formula built exactly on this principle.
A Unique Strategy
Many circulatory formulas primarily contain herbs that “move the blood.” This formula does something different: it consists largely (sometimes as much as 80%) of a single herb:Huang Qi (Astragalus).
Why so much Huang Qi?
Huang Qiis the ultimate energy builder. By adding a huge dose of Qi-tonifying power, the formula gives a powerful boost to the body’s “pump.” The other ingredients (in much smaller quantities) are herbs that open blood vessels and promote circulation (such asDang Gui in Chuan Xiong).
Application
This formula is designed for situations where weakness is the cause of stagnation. It is used to support the restoration of normal function and sensation, and contributes to a vital and strong body.
