Explanation
This pill is suitable for headaches from Blood stasis against a background of Blood deficiency
and internal Cold. It is particularly indicated for women as it contains the Yi Mu Si Wu Tang
Leonorus Four Substances Decoction.
Please note that this pill contains herbs (such as San Leng and E Zhu) which strongly move
Blood: indeed, they pertain to the category of herbs which "break" Blood. In order to use this
pill, therefore, one must be absolutely certain of the diagnosis, i.e. a very severe and chronic
stasis of Blood manifesting with a very Purple (Bluish-Purple) tongue and a dark-purple
complexion.
