Cautions

pregnancy Not to be used while pregnant; Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Chuan Xiong and Chuan Niu Xi move Blood forcefully

contraindication Heavy menstrual bleeding, active haemorrhage or bleeding disorders, where bleeding rather than stasis is the main problem

contraindication Weak or debilitated patients, and pure deficiency of Qi and Blood without underlying stasis

caution Sheng Di Huang is cooling and can burden a weak Spleen; take care with loose stools or poor digestion

caution Chest pain must first be assessed as a possible cardiac emergency; coronary heart disease and angina need medical diagnosis and management, with this formula only as an adjunct
