This episode is quite a special one: it is our 50th episode! We will be covering a very interesting, and one of my favorite, formulas: xue fu zhu yu tang or drive out stasis from the mansion of blood decoction. This is a great formula for pain in the chest and I frequently use a modification for treating low back pain in many of my patients. We will, as usual, cover the basics of Chinese herbology including category, and functions, and explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode: we are continuing of our discussion of famous doctors with a more modern Chinese physician, Wāng Qíng-Rèn. Please join us as we explore Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (Drive Out Stasis from the Mansion of Blood Decoction).
