This is how to Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions part Ninety-four

Hey, I'm back and ready to analyse the first monarch's herb  in the formula above. 

Without further delay, let's dive in to analyse :


Xiang Fu










The reasons for the selection of  Xiang Fu as one of the 4 monarch's herbs are:
  • A) It's a natural powerful remedy to ease and smoothen all indigestion caused by liver's Qi stagnation resulting in bloating and pain in the TCM perspective 
  • B) It has the capability to regulate menstruation which is not the primary concern over indigestion.  However, it is because of this capability, Xiang Fu can eliminate pain resulting from the bloating. 




Association to a Specific Meridian Channel


Xiang Fu is better known as Cyperus Rotundus in Latin and only the rhizome is used. It is associated with:  
  • San Jiao
  • Liver - Meridian Channel respectively 


Specific Taste



The specific taste of Xiang Fu is pungent and slightly sweet inclined to bitterness 



Specific Properties



The Specific Property of:

As for the rule of thumb:
