Notes
- Its focus is Liver Blood deficiency rather than Heart Blood.
- Si Wu Tang vs Xiao Yao San: both treat menstrual disorders with deficiency and excess; Si Wu Tang for Blood deficiency with Blood stasis, Xiao Yao San for Liver Qi stagnation with Blood deficiency.
- Related formulas: Tao Hong Si Wu Tang (menstrual problems), Wen Qing Yin (stubborn skin disease), Bu Gan Tang (eye and muscle disorders), Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan (restless fetus from Cold and Blood deficiency).
- Modification: For stubborn skin disease: add Huang Lian Jie Du Tang (Wen Qing Yin)
- Modification: For eye and muscle disorders: add Suan Zao Ren, Mu Gua, Zhi Gan Cao (Bu Gan Tang)
- Modification: For restless fetus due to Cold and Blood deficiency: add Xiang Fu, Ai Ye, Huang Qi, Rou Gui, Wu Zhu Yu, Xu Duan (Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan)
From Class
- Raising red cells: Lu Rong, Gui Pi Tang, Ba Zhen Tang, Si Wu Tang: Marrow stimulants (deer antler) and blood formulas raise RBCs but must fit the pattern; if qi/blood is obstructed use a moving-tonifying formula like Xiao Yao San. (Lewis)
- Si Wu Tang variation & Precious Sea (Women's Treasure remedy): Blood-nourishing options listed for deficient lactation. (Maciocia)
