067 XIAO CHAI HU TANG WAN – Milestone at the Crossroads

Herbal formula based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles

This traditional herbal formula is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is associated with harmonizing the so-called shao yang stage (少阳 shǎo yáng), a transitional layer between the exterior and interior of the body.

In TCM, this represents a condition where a pathogenic factor is neither fully external nor internal. It may persist as a hidden pathogen (伏邪 fú xié), disrupting balance and causing alternating or unclear symptoms.

The formula contains herbs traditionally associated with harmonizing this layer, supporting Spleen Qi, and facilitating the gradual release of the pathogen.

According to EU legislation, specific health claims cannot be made for this product.

TCM Characteristics

Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, the formula is associated with:

• harmonizing shao yang (和解少阳 hé jiě shǎo yáng)

• releasing hidden pathogens (透邪 tòu xié)

• clearing heat (清热 qīng rè)

• supporting Spleen Qi (补脾气 bǔ pí qì)

• harmonizing the Stomach (和胃 hé wèi)

Traditional Formula Principle

The formula combines herbs with harmonizing, releasing, and supportive actions:

• Chai Hu 柴胡 – key herb that harmonizes shao yang and helps release the pathogen from the transitional layer

• Huang Qin 黄芩 – clears heat and supports internal balance

• Ban Xia 半夏, Sheng Jiang 生姜 – harmonize the Stomach and regulate Qi direction

• Dang Shen 党参, Da Zao 大枣 – support Qi and strengthen the middle burner

• Zhi Gan Cao 炙甘草 – harmonizes the overall formula

In TCM, this reflects the principle: harmonize the intermediate layer and allow the body to complete its defensive process.

These patterns may traditionally be associated with symptoms such as:

• alternating chills and fever sensations

These descriptions are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.
