Buyanghuanwu decoction is a famous ancient prescription, which benefits qi and promotes blood circulation. The original prescription comprises Radix Astragali, angelica tail, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Lumbricus, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Carthami Flos and Semen Persicae. Because of its excellent effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it is often used in the treatment of stroke. However, Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation, so not all stroke treatment methods are applicable. This prescription is suitable for qi deficiency and blood stasis type apoplexy. In actual use, every Chinese medicine practitioner will adjust the prescription according to the patient's situation and add and subtract the prescription. There is no uniform standard for this.
If you are diagnosed as a stroke with qi deficiency and blood stasis, you can consider Naomaili Granule, which adds and subtracts the ancient prescription, and replaces earthworm and peach kernel with motherwort, notoginseng, turmeric, salvia miltiorrhiza, radix paeoniae alba and radix cyathulae, which are less toxic in the original prescription, so as to enhance the efficacy of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and at the same time achieve the effect of eliminating pathogenic factors without damaging the righteousness.
