Main benefits
Pattern identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Blood deficiency with concurrent Blood stasis, especially in the context of gynecology, where there is both lack of sufficient new Blood and obstruction of Blood flow in the Chong and Ren channels.
Name and core idea: [translate:桃红四物汤] means “Four‑Substance Decoction with Peach and Safflower.” It is a modification of Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) that adds Blood‑invigorating herbs to the classic Blood‑tonifying base, so it both nourishes and moves Blood.
Blood‑tonifying base (Si Wu Tang): Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia): Strongly nourishes Liver and Kidney Blood/Yin. Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis): Tonifies and moves Blood, regulates the menses. Bai Shao (White Peony): Nourishes Blood and softens the Liver. Chuan Xiong: Invigorates Blood and moves Qi, guiding the formula to the Blood level and to the head and channels
Blood‑invigorating additions: The “Tao Hong” part refers to: Tao Ren (Peach Kernel): Breaks up Blood stasis and moistens the Intestines and Hong Hua (Safflower): Invigorates Blood, disperses stasis, and unblocks menses in classical descriptions. Together they strengthen the formula’s ability to remove congealed Blood while the original four herbs build fresh Blood.
Gynecological focus: In traditional gynecology, this pattern is associated with irregular or painful menstruation characterized in TCM terms by Blood deficiency with stasis, for example, dull plus stabbing pain, clots, and a pale but sometimes slightly dark tongue. The formula is chosen when one must “both enrich and quicken the Blood.”
Principle in TCM terms: The core principle is “Bu Zhong You Hou” tonification within movement: tonify and enrich the Blood so there is something to move, while also moving and breaking stasis so that the new Blood can circulate freely in the channels.
Classical heritage: Tao Hong Si Wu Tang is generally attributed to later refinements of the classic Si Wu Tang tradition and is widely cited in modern TCM textbooks as the standard formula when Si Wu Tang alone is too mild due to the presence of clear Blood‑stasis signs in a basically Blood‑deficient patient.
