Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan - Black Pearl Cinnamon and Hoelen Combination Formula pill 35g
Indications:
This formula was originally recorded in the ‘Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet’ (jin gui yao lue fang lun) by Zhang Zhong-jing (circa 150 – 219 CE). This work is the earliest surviving record that details the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases of internal medicine, as well as some surgical diseases and gynecological disorders, according to the Eight Principles.
It was originally used for resolving conditions due to Blood stasis during pregnancy causing mild and persistent bleeding, which interferes with the normal development of the fetus. Over the millennia, however, the applications of this formula have been broadened to include several gynecological and post partum disorders – for which it is mainly used today.
As would be expected, the treatment of Blood stasis during pregnancy must be fairly mild, otherwise the fetus may be at risk. Therefore this is a mild acting formula that is suitable for patients with deficiency syndromes or constitutional weakness, and can be safely taken long-term. In addition, because it is a fairly simple formula that is focused on a specific pathodynamic, it may readily be combined with other formulas to give a particular emphasis to the treatment, as described above under ‘Combinations’.
Signs & Symptoms:
Abdominal Pain & Tenderness: Fixed, aching, or cramping pain in the lower abdomen that is often worse with direct pressure.
Abdominal Distension: A sensation of fullness or swelling in the lower abdominal area.
Palpable Lumps/Masses: Tender fixed masses, such as uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts.
Menstrual Irregularities: Dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), amenorrhoea (absent periods), or abnormal/persistent vaginal bleeding.
Specific Physical Indicators:
Tongue: Purple, dark, or cyanotic coloring; may have dark spots (macules) or a greasy coat.
Pulse: A "choppy" (rough/uneven) pulse.
Actions of the Main Herbs:
Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twig) warms the channels, promotes circulation, and helps move Qi and Blood.
Fu Ling (Poria) strengthens the Spleen, drains Dampness, and supports fluid metabolism, assisting in resolving accumulation.
Mu Dan Pi (Moutan cortex) cools and invigorates Blood, helping to clear stasis with heat components.
Tao Ren (Peach kernel) strongly moves Blood and breaks up Blood stasis, particularly in the lower abdomen.
Shao Yao (Peony root) nourishes Blood, relieves pain, and helps regulate and harmonize the Liver.
These herbs work together to move Blood, resolve stasis, and regulate Qi, especially in the lower jiao.
Dosage & Course of Treatment:
Take 8–12 pills, three times daily, preferably after meals or as directed by a practitioner. Often used over a medium to longer-term course depending on the severity and chronicity of Blood stasis patterns.
Ingredients:
– Wolfiporia cocos, fruit. body 茯苓 86.3 mg
– Paeonia lactiflora, root 白芍 86.3 mg
– Cinnamomum cassia, twig 桂枝 67.5 mg
– Paeonia suffruticosa, stem bark 牡丹皮 67.5 mg
– Prunus persica, seed 桃仁 67.5 mg
Cautions & Contraindications:
Not suitable during pregnancy due to its Blood-moving properties. Use with caution in individuals with bleeding disorders or those with significant deficiency without signs of Blood stasis. Not appropriate for acute infections without stasis or for conditions requiring tonification rather than movement. Should be used under practitioner guidance for accurate pattern differentiation.
Practitioner-only product:
A consultation is recommended prior to use to ensure the formula is appropriate for the individual’s pattern diagnosis.
