This formula nourishes blood and regulates menstruation. Suitable for amenorrhea due to blood deficiency.
This formula originates from *Lu Chuan Ben Cao*. Originally used for "female amenorrhea," it is a representative prescription for treating blood-deficiency amenorrhea. Blood deficiency leads to inadequate nourishment of the Chong and Ren vessels, resulting in empty blood sea and amenorrhea. The main ingredient, cuttlefish meat, is a "living substance" highly effective in nourishing blood and regulating menstruation. Peach kernels serve as auxiliary herbs to activate blood and regulate menstruation. Together, they nourish blood to regulate menstruation and activate blood to regulate menstruation, with nourishing blood being primary. Thus, it is suitable for amenorrhea due to blood deficiency with blood stasis or pure blood deficiency.
According to *Tang Yao’s Experience Formulas*, removing cuttlefish and adding lotus root enhances the blood-activating and menstruation-regulating effect. This version was originally used for "postpartum blood stagnation."
Pregnant women should avoid this recipe.
