This formula is a popular variant of Si Wu Tang (Dang-gui Four Combination) and was first recorded in the 'Golden Mirror of Medicine' (yi zong jin jian), 1742, a 90 volume treatise on general medicine, written by a staff of 80 persons, headed by Wu Qian, under the commission of the Qing imperial government. It was originally used for severe menstrual cramping pain in women with Blood deficiency.
