Main Action of Gua Lou Xie Bai Bai Jiu Tang
The functions of this Chinese medicine Herbal formula are to unblock the yang and promote movement of Qi while expelling phlegm. This TCM Herbal formula is best suited for conditions of painful obstruction of the chest due to yang deficiency in the upper burner. When yang Qi is deficient it is unable to disperse fluids throughout the body and the fluids become stagnated and turbid and begins to form phlegm. This phlegm eventually blocks the normal Qi circulation creating stagnation between the normal circulation between the chest and the back.
