Augments qi, strengthens spleen, stabilizes Chong, stops bleeding (when Chong is “unstable,” irregular bleeding can occur). | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
Gushing/trickling of menses, or uterine bleeding which is thin and pale. Also palpitations, shortness of breath (due to qi and blood deficiency that results after this much lengthy bleeding – anemia can even occur). t-pale, p- def/big or thin/frail. | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
When the Chong is deficient, the Ren and Kidneys can also become deficient. This is why Shan Zhu Yu and Bai Shao are in the formula, to astringe Kidney essence and preserve the yin. | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
FOCUS HERE IS ON STRENGTHENING THE DEFIEICNT SPLEEN QI TO ENABLE GOVERNANCE OF BLOOD | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
prolong uterine leads to injured sp qi, then sp can't govern blood. Chong becomes unstable =Irreg bleed. root treatment is tonify qi, and branch is stop bleed. Also used for bld in the stool with sp def. strongly treats bleeding and binds up in hurry. | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
Functional uterine bleeding, excessive post-partum bleeding, bleeding peptic ulcer (the formula should work within a week). | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
If the bleeding is severe (enough to cause abandoned symptoms: cold limbs, faint pulse, imminent shock), increase Huang Qi and use Ren Shen and Fu Zi. Not meant for true emergencies, such as internal bleeding from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. | Gu Chong Tang (b) (Stabilize Gushing Decoction) |
Enriches yin, clears heat, stops bleeding, stabilizes menses | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Excessive bleeding, red with clots, gushing or trickling, sensations of heat, irritability, abdominal pain, dark urine. t - Red. p - Wiry, rapid | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Root of the problem is liver constraint (liver stagnation) leading to heat and reckless bleeding. This formula could belong in a clear deficiency heat category. | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
This is heat from liver constraint, leading to reckless bleeding. The heat originated with yin deficiency. Compare to Wen Jing Tang. | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Functional uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Huang Qin and Xiang Fu are both potentially drying, so with more pronounced yin-xu heat signs, Di Gu Pi and Sheng Di Huang are excellent substitutions. Chun Gen Pi is also drying and clears damp heat. | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Yin Deficiency Underlies the “Belligerent Heat” | Gu Jing Wan (a) (Stabilize the Menses Pill) |
Tonifies the middle jiao, strengthens the spleen, transforms dampness, stops vaginal discharge | Wan Dai Tang (a) (End Discharge Decoction) |
Profuse continuous white to pale-yellow vaginal discharge, thin, odor-free, and accompanied by general qi deficient signs such as fatigue, pale complexion, loose stools, t - Pale, white coat, p - Soggy, frail or moderate | Wan Dai Tang (a) (End Discharge Decoction) |
The pattern contains aspects of spleen deficiency as well as liver constraint. Both the spleen and liver channels are affected by the Dai Channel. Most symptoms here are of def, but with the spleen deficiency is some liver overacting on the spleen. | Wan Dai Tang (a) (End Discharge Decoction) |
Vaginal Discharge, Not due to Damp-Heat | Wan Dai Tang (a) (End Discharge Decoction) |
Tonifies spleen, dries damp, clears heat, stops vaginal discharge | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
Chronic, yellow, thick vaginal discharge, pale yellow complexion, dizziness, heavy head, reduced appetite, loose stool, t - Pale, thin white coat, p - Soft, slippery, submerged | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
Spleen deficiency with dampness turning into damp heat, Heat is mild; deficiency is dominant | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
This formula is equally efficient in tonifying and binding, clearing and draining. | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
Vaginal Discharge Due to Deficiency Turning to Damp Heat | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
This is an intermediate pattern between Wan Dai Tang and Long Dan Xie Gan Tang in terms of dampness and heat. | Yi Huang Tang (b) (Change Yellow [Discharge] Decoction) |
