FORMULA EXPLANATION
Circulation (SJ) is an herbal formula specifically formulated with herbs that invigorate blood circulation, dispel blood
stasis, unblock meridians, and relieve pain. It promotes average blood circulation in the upper, middle, and lower jiaos.
Its formulation follows the principles of three classic formulas: Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (Drive Out Stasis in the Mansion
of Blood Decoction) to treat blood stasis in the upper jiao, Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang (Drive Out Blood Stasis Below the
Diaphragm Decoction) to treat blood stasis in the middle jiao, and Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (Drive Out Blood Stasis in
the Lower Abdomen Decoction) to treat blood stasis in the lower jiao.
Tao Ren (Semen Persicae) and Hong Hua (Flos Carthami) are used to activating blood circulation. These two herbs have excellent synergistic effects and are often used together. Shui Zhi (Hirudo) is one of the most potent blood stasis-removing herbs and is added to enhance the overall development of breaking down blood stasis. Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), and Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae) nourish the blood, activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis. Mu Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan) and Chi Shao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) clear heat, cool blood, and dispel blood stasis. Since blood stasis and qi stagnation often co-occur, Zhi Qiao (Fructus Aurantii), Wu Yao (Radix Linderae), and Xiang Fu (Rhizoma Cyperi) are used to activate and regulate qi circulation. To effectively treat qi and blood stasis in all three jiaos, Jie Geng (Radix Platycodonis), Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri), and Chuan Niu Xi (Radix Cyathulae) are used to guide the formula to the upper, middle and lower jiaos, respectively. In addition, because pain is often associated with qi and blood stasis, Yan Hu Suo (Rhizoma Corydalis), Mo Yao (Myrrha), Pu Huang (Pollen Typhae), and Rou Gui (Cortex Cinnamomi) are used to unblock the channels and collaterals to relieve pain. Furthermore, the combination of Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) and Gan Cao (Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae) also greatly relieves spasms and cramps. Lastly, Gan Cao (Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae) tonifies qi and harmonizes all the herbs in this formula.
In summary, Circulation (SJ) is an excellent formula to treat various disorders characterized by blood stasis anywhere in the body’s upper, middle, and lower jiaos.
