BLACK PEARL BP043 NEI XIAO LUO LI WAN PRUNELLA & SCROPHULARIA

BLACK PEARL NEI XIAO LUO LI WAN PRUNELLA & SCROPHULARIA – BP043

This formula is a variant on the formula by the same name that was first devised by Gu Si-cheng and recorded in his book, ‘Complete Works for the Treatment of Sores’ (yang yi da quan), 17th century. The original formula was designed to treat scrofula and similar swellings in the neck, including goitre. The modern variant omits several of the harsh dispersing and laxative ingredients that limited the original formula’s use to excess conditions in patients with a robust constitution.

This formula is suitable for the treatment of various types of nodules, masses and swellings that involve the localised accumulation of Phlegm-Heat and/or static Blood. Owing to the nature of the pathogens, Phlegm and Heat, together with Qi stagnation and Blood stasis, the disorders for which this formula is indicated require prolonged treatment.

This necessitates the use of a more balanced formula that supports the health Qi (zheng qi) while at the same time effectively dispelling the pathogens. The indications of this formula, as listed above, are therefore much broader than those of the original.
