Associations

Notes

  • It works especially well to dispel Blood Stasis located in the shoulders and arms.
  • It is also effective for Stomach and uterine pain.
  • Its actions resemble those of Tub. Curcumae Yu Jin and Rz. Curcumae E Zhu.
  • It enhances bile secretion.
  • It is also useful for painful swelling caused by trauma.
  • Jiang Huang and Rz. Curcumae E Zhu share a warm, acrid, bitter nature and both break up Blood Stasis while moving Qi to relieve pain; E Zhu is the stronger of the two at breaking Blood Stasis and reducing accumulations, whereas Jiang Huang acts on both the Interior and Exterior and treats Wind Bi.
  • Jiang Huang and Rx. Curcumae Yu Jin both promote Qi and Blood movement and help the Gallbladder resolve jaundice, an action Yu Jin performs more strongly. Jiang Huang is warm rather than cold and treats Wind Bi, which Yu Jin does not; Yu Jin, by contrast, enters the Blood Level to cool Heat, break up Blood Stasis and move Qi at that level, and it also clears Heat and relieves constraint, functions Jiang Huang lacks.
