Treats all blood and Qi disorders in married and unmarried women, including irregular menstruation, umbilical and abdominal pain, sallow complexion, palpitations and weakness, abdominal distension and hypochondriac pain, dizziness and nausea, decreased appetite, metrorrhagia and leukorrhea, hematochezia, abdominal masses and accumulations. All are treated. If people discuss its name excessively, believing it depletes Qi, or dislike this medicine due to long-standing misconceptions, many refuse to take it, unaware of its extraordinary efficacy. The "Immortal Medicine for Women" recorded in ancient texts should not be neglected; properly prepared, how can it be compared to ordinary medicines? Its efficacy will reveal itself upon use.
Use Xiangfuzi (Cyperi Rhizoma) in any quantity. First pound clean, removing hairs.

Another formula adds Chenai (Mugwort Leaf) or also includes Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) and Lurong (Deer Antler Velvet).
