Main benefits
  • Pattern Identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Qi Deficiency leading to Blood Stasis in the channels, where weak Qi fails to push Blood, causing stagnation and obstruction.

  • Core Function: The formula name translates to “Tonify Yang to Restore Five (tenths) Decoction,” indicating its strategy of powerfully tonifying Qi to invigorate Blood and unblock the channels.

  • Sovereign Herb Focus: Features a very high dose of Huang Qi (Astragalus) as the sovereign herb to strongly supplement the Source Qi (Yuan Qi), providing the driving force necessary to move stagnant blood.

  • Blood Invigoration: Contains a team of Blood-moving herbs, Dang Gui Wei (Angelica Tail), Chuan Xiong, Chi Shao (Red Peony), Tao Ren (Peach Kernel), and Hong Hua (Safflower), to assist the Qi in breaking up stasis and opening the collaterals.

  • Channel Dredging: Also includes Di Long (Earthworm) to specifically unblock the channels and collaterals (Jing-Luo), facilitating flow in the extremities where Qi deficiency often leads to numbness or weakness.

  • Qi-Blood Relationship: Based on the TCM principle that “Qi is the commander of Blood; when Qi moves, Blood moves,” treating the root deficiency of Qi rather than just breaking stasis alone.

  • Post-Wind Stroke Context: Historically indicated for sequelae of Wind-Stroke (Zhong Feng) in TCM, characterized by hemiplegia or atrophy where the underlying mechanism is deficiency allowing stasis to linger.

  • Classical Heritage: A famous formula from Wang Qing-Ren’s Qing Dynasty text Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Correction of Errors in Medical Works), revered for its innovative approach to treating stasis through strong tonification.

Zhenatura Bu Yang Huan Wu Tang Extra Strong is based on the classical Bu Yang Huan Wu Tang ("Tonify the Yang to Restore Five [Tenths] Decoction"), first recorded in the Qing‑dynasty medical text Yi Lin Gai Cuo ("Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine") by Wang Qing‑Ren. In the context of traditional Chinese herbal literature, this specific combination of botanicals, including Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica sinensis, and Cnidium monnieri, was described as a method to "supplement Qi," "invigorate the Blood," and "unblock the Channels" within the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions belong exclusively to the traditional conceptual system of Chinese medicine and do not refer to modern anatomy, neurology, or scientifically verified physiological effects.

Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses (2021-2022):

A 2022 meta-analysis published in Frontiers in Pharmacology evaluated the clinical efficacy of BYHWT during the stroke recovery period. It found that BYHWT combined with conventional treatment significantly reduced NIHSS scores (neurological deficit) and improved activities of daily living (Barthel Index) compared to conventional treatment alone. Importantly, it did not increase the rate of adverse reactions.​
