Rambling Powder - Free and Easy Wanderer

Chinese Prescription: Xiao Yao San

English Translation: Rambling Powder - Free and Easy Wanderer

Formula Type: Regulate and Harmonize the Liver and Spleen

Actions: Spreads the Liver qi, strengthen the Spleen, & nourishes the blood.

Indications: Hypochondriac pain (usually spasmodic), headache, vertigo, a bitter taste in the mouth, dry mouth & throat, fatigue, reduced appetite, pale-red tongue, & a wiry, deficient pulse. There may also be alternating fever & chills & irregular menstruation or distended breasts.

Contraindications: The chief herb in this formula dredges the Liver & vents heat. The formula is thus unsuitable for treating purely deficient disorders. Furthermore, while the formula is effective for treating psychoemotional disorders that manifest as Liver qi constraint, it does not address causes that go beyond a physiological disposition to express problems in the particular way.
