Main benefits
  • Pattern Identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of "Liver Qi Stagnation" (Gan Qi Yu Jie), where the free flow of Qi is obstructed, leading to constraint and discomfort.​

  • Liver Spreading: The name translates to "Bupleurum Powder to Spread the Liver," indicating its classical function of soothing the Liver channel to release constraint and restore the smooth circulation of Qi.​

  • Sovereign Herb: Features Bupleurum (Chai Hu) as the chief ingredient, traditionally valued for its specific ability to "course the Liver" and relieve the sensation of binding or oppression in the chest and flanks.​

  • Qi Regulation: Contains Cyperus (Xiang Fu) and Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi) to powerfully regulate Qi movement, addressing the "stifling" sensation and abdominal fullness often associated with emotional stress in TCM theory.​

  • Blood Harmonization: Includes Cnidium (Chuan Xiong) and White Peony (Bai Shao) to "harmonize the Blood," based on the TCM principle that "Qi moves Blood"; this combination helps soften the Liver and relieve tension.​

  • Pain Alleviation: Historically indicated for "flank pain" and digestive disharmony caused by "Wood overacting on Earth" (Liver Qi invading the Stomach), leading to distention or discomfort after eating.​

  • Digestive Balance: Uses Bitter Orange (Zhi Ke) to direct Qi downward and Licorice (Gan Cao) to moderate the formula, ensuring the dispersing action does not damage the middle Qi.​

  • Classical Heritage: A 400-year-old modification of the foundational Si Ni San formula, first recorded in the Jingyue Quanshu (1624 AD), famously used to address "Qi stagnation" patterns arising from frustration or emotional constraint.
