Explanation
Red Stirring™ is a variation of Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (Blood-Mansion Eliminating Stasis Decoction) which invigorates Blood in the chest. The formula has been modified to calm the Mind and open the Mind’s orifices, thus addressing the mental-emotional consequences of Blood stasis in the Upper Burner.
- Dang Gui, Sheng Di Huang, Chuan Xiong and Chi Shao form a modified form of Si Wu Tang, which invigorates Blood
- Tao Ren, Hong Hua Dan Shen and Yu Jin invigorate Blood
- The last two herbs also calm the Mind and open the Mind’s orifices
- Chai Hu and Zhi Ke and Jie Geng and Niu Xi form two couples of herbs that increase the moving effect because Chai Hu and Jie Geng go to the Upper Burner while Zhi Ke and Niu Xi go to the Lower Burner: this effect results in a movement between Upper and Lower Burner
- Yuan Zhi and He Huan Pi calm the Mind and open the Mind’s orifices
Mental-Emotional Pattern
Key words: Pure Heart. Blood is the residence of the Shen.
