This chinese medicine formula is able to treat both the symptoms of this disorder (excessive uterine bleeding) while addressing and strongly treating the root (spleen Qi deficiency). Gu Chong Tang and Gui Pi Tang both treat excessive amount of uterine bleeding but Gu Chong Tang is better at stopping bleeding and is therefore used in more severe bleeding conditions.
