  • Rx. Curcumae Yu Jin, acrid, bitter and cold, enters the Heart, Lung and Liver channels, where it disperses and drains to cool Heat; entering the Blood, it moves Qi within the Blood, which cools Heart Blood, breaks up Stagnation, stops pain, soothes the Liver, aids Gallbladder function and reduces jaundice. It is applied to Liver Stagnation turning into Fire, Stasis from Blood Heat, and jaundice. Compared to Yu Jin, Yan Hu Suo moves Qi and stops pain more strongly but is less effective at cooling Heart Blood and relieving constraint.
  • Rz. Curcumae Longae Jiang Huang is bitter, acrid and warm, entering the Spleen, Stomach and Liver channels; it breaks up Blood Stasis more strongly than Yan Hu Suo and, unlike Yan Hu Suo, also expels Wind and addresses Wind-Damp Bi.
  • Yan Hu Suo, Faeces Trogopterori Wu Ling Zhi, Olibanum Ru Xiang and Myrrh Mo Yao each invigorate the Blood and stop pain; among them Yan Hu Suo relieves pain most strongly, Wu Ling Zhi somewhat less so, with Ru Xiang and Mo Yao weaker still.
  • Dry-fried Corydalis Chao Yan Hu Suo regulates Qi and Blood flow, addressing milder menstrual irregularity or a dull epigastric ache caused by Qi clumping in the Spleen and Stomach.
  • Vinegar-fried Corydalis Cu Chao Yan Hu Suo enters the Liver channel and regulates menstruation and stops pain more effectively, treating gynecological disorders, particularly dysmenorrhea.
  • Wine-fried Corydalis Jiu Chao Yan Hu Suo rises to the head, descends, and reaches both the exterior and the interior.
  • Salt-fried Corydalis Yan Chao Yan Hu Suo mainly directs downward, treating pain from bulging disorders.
