Herbal Insights: Tonify Blood
The course Herbal Insights: Tonify Blood examines Si Wu Tang, the Four Substance Formula. Si Wu Tang is presented in its historical context. Its classical applications and functions are discussed. Eight clinical variations are presented and are subdivided into differential diagnostic categories. For each category, a modification of Si Wu Tang is presented with a detailed comparison and contrasting of herbal choices relevant to that specific presentation of the illness discussed. Si Wu Tang for menstrual disorders with blood stagnation is presented with three major variations: late menstruation with blood deficiency, PMS and painful menstruation with blood stagnation, and excess or abnormal menstrual bleeding with blood stagnation. Within these categories, fifteen differential diagnostic variations are presented with a corresponding discussion of the herbal modifications relevant to treatment.
Next, the treatment of injuries with blood stagnation and/or wind-dampness with blood stagnation is presented. After this, the treatment of dry skin with blood deficiency or stagnation is then presented. Then, night blindness is reviewed in the context of Yin and blood deficiency. Central retinitis is also reviewed in two forms. Other clinical investigations include: a red nose with blood stagnation and heat signs, low sperm count or swelling of the testicles, and chest pain with Qi and blood stagnation.
