Main benefits
  • Pattern identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation below the diaphragm (Ge Xia), specifically in the region between the diaphragm and the umbilicus where the Liver and Spleen organs reside in classical anatomy.​

  • Name and function: The name 膈下逐瘀汤 means “Drive Out Stasis Below the Diaphragm Decoction,” indicating its specialized function of breaking stasis and moving Qi in the middle abdomen to relieve fixed masses or pain.​

  • Core strategy: combines potent Blood‑invigorating herbs with Qi‑regulating herbs to treat “fixed abdominal lumps” (Ji Ju) in TCM theory, where long‑term stagnation has caused tangible accumulations.​

  • Key ingredients: Includes Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Chi Shao, and Mu Dan Pi to break Blood stasis; Wu Ling Zhi and Yan Hu Suo to relieve pain; and Xiang Fu, Wu Yao, and Zhi Ke to powerfully move Qi in the chest and abdomen.​

  • Region-specific focus: Unlike Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (chest/upper burner) or Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (lower abdomen), this formula targets the middle jiao area (liver/spleen/stomach region), making it the primary choice for stasis patterns manifesting in the hypochondrium or upper abdomen.​

  • Classical indications: In traditional texts, it addresses palpable masses, fixed stabbing pain below the ribs, and abdominal distention that does not resolve with simple digestion herbs because the root cause is “congealed Blood.”​

  • Classical heritage: Recorded in the Qing‑dynasty text Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine), this formula exemplifies Wang Qing‑ren’s innovative approach to treating chronic, stubborn conditions by focusing on Blood stasis as the underlying pathology.​

Zhenatura Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang Extra Strong is based on the classical Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang, first recorded in the Qing Dynasty text Yi Lin Gai Cuo by Wang Qing-Ren. In the context of traditional Chinese herbal history, this specific combination of botanicals (including Peach Kernel and Red Peony) was described as a method to "invigorate the Blood" and "remove Stasis in the Middle Jiao" within the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions refer exclusively to the traditional characterization of the ingredients within the Chinese herbal paradigm and do not refer to modern anatomical structures or verified physiological effects.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Animal studies demonstrate that GXZY improves lipid metabolism (increases HDL, decreases LDL and total cholesterol), reduces hepatic fat accumulation, and alleviates inflammation and fibrosis. It acts by altering miRNA-24 expression and regulating TRPM4, contributing to lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Key compounds, such as hydroxysafflor yellow A, paeoniflorin, and ferulic acid, are linked to antifibrotic and antioxidant properties.

Liver Cirrhosis and Fibrosis
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22706148/

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Network pharmacology and animal experiments show GXZY targets genes and pathways (AR, JUN, MYC, CASP3, MMP9, GAPDH, RELA) involved in inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. It inhibits hepatic stellate cell proliferation, reduces liver injury and collagen deposition, and downregulates MMP9 expression.
GXZY induces apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells via increased caspase 3 and 12 expression, contributing to the resolution of fibrosis.

Abdominal Pain and Masses:

GXZY is indicated for fixed, localized abdominal pain, palpable masses, and heaviness below the diaphragm due to blood stasis and qi stagnation. Clinical reports support its use for chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and abdominal pain associated with blood stasis.
