Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang by Blue Poppy’s Great Nature Classics is a formula that comes from Wang Qing-rens Qing dynasty Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine).

Within this formula, Tao Ren (Semen Persicae), Hong Hua (Flos Carthami), and Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong) are the sovereigns for quickening the blood and dispelling stasis in the upper burner.

Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) and Chi Shao (Radix Rubra Paeoniae) are two of the ministers which quicken the blood and dispel stasis from the lower part of the body, while Chuan Niu Xi (Radix Cyathulae) is the third minister which leads the blood to move downward and thus not become static in the chest.

Sheng Di (uncooked Radix Rehmanniae) is a blood quickening and movement assistant which, when combined with Dang Gui, also prevents damage to the righteous.

This is because both Dang Gui and Sheng Di both supplement as well as drain.

Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri), Jie Geng (Radix Platycodi), and Zhi Ke (Fructus Aurantii) are the qirectifying assistants which course the liver and upbear clear yang to the region of the chest to better stir or move the blood.
