About This Formula
Blood, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, does more than circulate — it moistens the body, steadies the mind, and supports a regular menstrual cycle. When Blood is deficient, the classic picture is a pale or sallow complexion, dizziness, dry skin and hair, and periods that are light, late, or irregular.
Si Wu Tang is the root Blood-nourishing formula from which many gynecological and tonic prescriptions are built. It pairs enriching herbs that build Blood with gently moving herbs that keep it flowing, so the formula nourishes without becoming stagnant. As always, the most appropriate formula depends on an individual’s TCM pattern, which the quick screening below helps confirm.
