Notas

  • It warms and disperses, effectively spreading and freeing up the Qi mechanism.
  • It smooths Qi flow, harmonizes the Middle, disperses Cold, and relieves pain in numerous locations.
  • It normalizes Qi flow in people with repressed emotions, i.e., Liver Qi Stagnation.
  • Though it can be decocted with other herbs for an extended period, a brief decoction is preferable since many of its constituents are volatile oils.
  • It warms the Middle Jiao.
  • It is used for stroke accompanied by rebellious Qi and surging Phlegm.
  • It is less warming than Rx. Aucklandiae Mu Xiang.
  • Some consider it the foremost herb for women's disorders.
  • It is effective for pain around the navel and in the lower abdomen.
  • It addresses pain occurring anywhere between the genitals and the chest.
  • It is indicated when borborygmus is present.
  • It is frequently used for distending pain in the chest or abdomen, rebellious Qi with cough and wheezing, Cold Qi in the Bladder causing urinary frequency, Cold-type painful bulging disorder, and gynecological Qi blockage with Blood Stasis.
  • It treats every pattern of Wind-stroke or Qi-stroke.
  • Wu Yao, Rx. Aucklandiae Mu Xiang, and Rx. Cyperi Xiang Fu all move the Qi. Wu Yao suits any disorder of rebellious Qi with chest or abdominal discomfort; Mu Xiang, bitter and warming, enters and revives an obstructed Spleen and suits food accumulation best; Xiang Fu, acrid and bitter, enters the Liver and Gallbladder channels, releases constraint, and disperses clumps, making it excellent for constraint and worry.
  • Wu Yao and Lignum Aquilaria Resinatum Chen Xiang both warm the Spleen, mobilize Qi, disperse Cold, and treat chest and abdominal distention and fullness with wheezing from rebellious Qi. Chen Xiang is bitter, draining and descending, helping the Kidneys grasp Qi, and is more warming than Wu Yao; Wu Yao, by contrast, has a mobile quality that reaches everywhere in the body, making it suitable for any rebellious disorder such as Cold in the San Jiao, Qi blockage, or Blood congealed by Cold.
  • Dry-fried Lindera Chao Wu Yao is less acrid and drying, but better at dispersing coldness, and is used for Deficiency Cold that has led to Qi Stagnation.
