Obstruction or congealing of Blood usually develops after an extended period of Blood stagnation. The development of Blood stasis can also lead to the stagnation of Qi. The old adage states, “Blood is the mother of Qi, and where the Qi goes, the Blood will flow.”

Blood stagnation often evolves gradually as a consequence of long-term congestion of Qi or Moisture. It may, however, also develop suddenly as a result of the penetration of an External Influence such as Dampness, Heat or Cold Influence that blocks the movement of Qi and Blood in the channels and vessels (Jing Luo), especially those of the Heart, Liver and the Sea of Marrow (brain).

Purge Red River effectively mobilizes Blood, breaks up congealed Blood, alleviates occasional swelling, supports the formation of new Blood.

Pubescent holly root, Chinese salvia root and rhizome, Carthamus flower, vinegar prepared Zedoary rhizome and vinegar prepared Sparganium rhizome are the primary herbs for dispersing Blood stasis and supporting the healthy circulation of Blood in the chest, abdomen or pelvic cavity, especially within the organs of the heart, brain, liver, spleen and uterus.

Finally, Sichuan lovage rhizome and prepared Cyperus rhizome, especially in concert with vinegar prepared Sparganium rhizome, help to maintain healthy circulation of Blood and Qi within the vessels and channels.

All together these herbs counteract stasis and eliminate accumulations, nourish Blood and mobilize circulation throughout the channels, vessels and viscera.
