Main benefits
Pattern identification: Traditionally used for the Shao Yang disharmony with internal disturbance of Shen, where the pivot between exterior and interior is blocked and “floating Yang” and Phlegm‑Heat agitate the Heart and Liver in TCM theory.
Name and core idea: The full classical name [translate:柴胡加龍骨牡蠣湯] means “Bupleurum Decoction with Added Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell,” indicating a modification of Xiao Chai Hu Tang that adds heavy, settling substances to anchor Yang and calm the Spirit (Shen).
Shao Yang harmonization: Uses Chai Hu (Bupleurum) and Huang Qin (Scutellaria) to harmonize the Shao Yang layer, course Liver Qi, clear constrained Heat, and resolve the “half‑interior, half‑exterior” state typical of Shao Yang disorders.
Anchoring floating Yang: Includes Long Gu (Dragon Bone) and Mu Li (Oyster Shell) as heavy mineral substances to anchor and subdue “floating Yang,” settle the Hun and Shen, and treat agitation, restlessness, or palpitations in the TCM sense.
Phlegm‑Heat and internal excess: The presence of Da Huang (Rhubarb) and Ban Xia (Pinellia), together with Fu Ling (Poria) and Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig), allows the formula to purge internal excess, transform Phlegm, and open the chest so that Heat and turbidity can exit.
Qi and middle support: Ren Shen (or Dang Shen) and Fu Ling support Spleen and Heart Qi so that the system has enough Upright Qi to stabilize the Spirit and prevent further penetration of pathogenic factors into the interior.
Therapeutic principles (TCM): Harmonize Shao Yang and unblock the three Yang warps. Clear constrained Heat and resolve Phlegm. Anchor Yang and calm the Shen. Regulate Qi in the chest and epigastrium.
Classical heritage: First recorded in Zhang Zhong‑jing’s Shang Han Lun / Shang Han Za Bing Lun, it is regarded as a major formula for “Shao Yang with Shen disturbance,” and modern commentators often describe it as a stronger, Spirit‑calming evolution of Xiao Chai Hu Tang.
