Tang-Kuei 18 general notes
Tang Kuei 18 is the most widely prescribed of all the Seven Forests formulas. It is a fundamental blood nourishing prescription adjusted to deal with accompanying conditions such as qi deficiency and stagnation, and blood heat and stagnation. The blood nourishing component is comprised of tang kuei, peony, cnidium, and rehmannia (the ingredients of Siwu Tang), with lycium fruit, ho shou wu, cornus, and ligustrum. To promote circulation of qi and blood, bupleurum, cyperus, curcuma, and achyranthes have been added. To tonify qi and enhance production of blood, astragalus, ginseng, and atractylodes are included. Finally, a small amount of moutan and gardenia are added to help remove blood heat that accompanies deficiency syndromes these are the same herbs added to Xiaoyao San (see Pine Mountain) to yield Bupleurum and Peony Formula (see Nuphar 14 and Ancient and Modern Formulas). The resulting formula can be used for pallor, general weakness, menopausal symptoms, spontaneous and pallor. In cases where blood deficiency is associated with a cold syndrome (often including a cold kidney disorder with bone marrow insufficiency), one can use, instead, Tang Kuei Tablets. Although many of the indications for formulas based on tang kuei are specific to women (eg menstruation-related disorders), the formulas are also suitable for men, particularly in cases of chronic inflammatory disorders.
