What Are the Effects of Guizhi Fupi Pill?
1. Regulation of Blood Circulation
Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the cinnamon contained in Guizhi Fuling Pill has the effect of relieving vascular smooth muscle spasms. It can dilate blood vessels, adjust blood circulation functions, and promote the dissipation and absorption of inflammation. The term "tongyang" refers to promoting the yang qi, as the yin blood relies on the promotion function of yang qi to circulate, which is equivalent to regulating blood circulation.
2. Treatment of Amenorrhea due to Qi and Blood Deficiency
Guizhi Fuling Pill has the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and gradually dissolving blood clots. It can be used to treat conditions such as long-term blood stasis in women, continuous bleeding after pregnancy, unstable fetal movements, menstrual pain due to blood stasis, incomplete postpartum lochia discharge with dark purple blood, and abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure.
3. Treatment of Uterine Fibroids
In traditional Chinese medicine, the etiology of uterine fibroids is considered complex, mainly involving improper childbirth, weakness of internal organs, external pathogenic invasion, improper diet and rest, and emotional trauma. The pathogenesis is often related to weak vital qi and imbalance of qi and blood. Impaired qi and blood circulation can lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis, resulting in the formation of abdominal masses. Since qi is the commander of blood and blood is the mother of qi, the treatment approach involves promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. Medications such as Guizhi Fuling Pill, often combined with Dan'e Fukang Jiangao and Sanjie Zhentong Capsule, are commonly used.
4. Treatment of Breast Hyperplasia
The main cause of breast hyperplasia is imbalance of endocrine hormone levels in the body. Western medicine primarily relies on hormonal therapy and surgical intervention, but these treatments often have significant side effects. Guizhi Fuling Pill has the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and gradually dissolving blood clots. It can also reduce the levels of estrogen and progesterone in patients' blood, which contributes to the reduction or dissipation of existing breast hyperplasia. Although Guizhi Fuling Pill has good therapeutic effects in treating breast hyperplasia, the disease often requires a longer course of treatment to achieve significant results due to its chronic nature.
