  • It is a key herb for treating headaches.
  • Some sources say it nourishes Blood and revives the senses.
  • Chuan Xiong and Rz. Cyperi Xiang Fu both work at the meeting point of Qi and Blood, entering the Liver and San Jiao. Chuan Xiong is known as a guiding herb to the Liver, Gallbladder, San Jiao and Pericardium; it rises and disperses, reaching up to the head and out to the Exterior to scatter Wind and Cold. Xiang Fu, by contrast, reaches all twelve channels and directs its action downward, harmonizing the Middle and relieving constraint.
  • Chuan Xiong and Rz. Ligustici Gao Ben both treat headaches, though Chuan Xiong suits lateral headaches best and Gao Ben suits vertex headaches best.

Chuan Xiong moves Qi within the Blood and ascends to the head and eyes to expel Wind and relieve headaches, while Ze Lan promotes fluid metabolism and urination, making it suited to disorders combining Blood Stasis and edema.
  • Dry-fried Chuanxiong Chao Chuan Xiong tempers the herb's tendency to deplete Qi and Blood, making it suitable for patients with Qi and Blood Deficiency.
  • Wine-fried Chuanxiong Jiu Chao Chuan Xiong enhances the herb's ability to invigorate the Blood, move Qi and stop pain.
