ChinaMed Cardiac Formula 78c

This formula is based on a combination of Sheng Mai San (Powder-Formula to Regenerate the Pulse), from 'Treatise on the Differentiation of Endogenous and Exogenous Injuries' (nei wai shang bian huo lun), 1247, by Li Gao (a.k.a. Li Dong-yuan) and Zhi Shi Gua Luo Gui Zhi Tang (Citrus, Trichisanthes and Cinnamon Twig Decocotion) from the 'Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet (jin gui yao lue fang lun), by Zhang Zhong-jing (circa 150 ‐ 219 CE).

The former formula and its variants are now widely used in China in the treatment of various types of cardiovascular concerns related to deficiency of the Yang Qi in the chest with subsequent accumulation of Phlegm and severe stagnation of the Qi.

In TCM chest pain may be due to Blood stasis, retention of Phlegm obstructing the Yang Qi, stagnation of Yin-Cold, Qi and Yin deficiency, Heart and Kidney Yin deficiency. With the inclusion of Salvia root (dan shen), Santalum stem heartwood (tan xiang) and Curcuma tuber (yu jin), this formula covers the first four syndromes. Thus, this formula may be used alone as a single treatment; or as the foundation for more complex prescriptions. This formula is incompatible with aspirin therapy.
