Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Greetings all, I have been trying to understand the use of Chuan Lian Zi in the formula Yi Guan Jian, which is used for yin deficiency with liver qi stagnation. Why not use a less drying herb like Fo Shou to soothe the liver qi stagnation if there is also yin deficiency? There must be a reason...What kinds of experiences have you all had with treating yin deficiency with liver qi stagnation? Any thoughts on why Chuan Lian Zi was used in this formula instead of a less drying herb? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I know Yi Guan Jian mainly through treating Chronic Hepatitis where the yin xu is connected with both liver blood/yin and kidney xu. As well as being anti parasitic Chuan Lian Zi treats swellings (Bensky: bulging disorders) and pain. Yi Guan Wan is therefore often a first place to start constructing a formula for treating those with mid/late chronic hep symptoms of hypochondriac pain and cirhosis. Whether this was the original intent of Yin Guan I don't know but Chuan Lian zi fits it well. doug , " heylaurag " <heylaurag@h...> wrote: > > Greetings all, > > I have been trying to understand the use of Chuan Lian Zi in the > formula Yi Guan Jian, which is used for yin deficiency with liver qi > stagnation.
