Formula Rationale
Femalance (Jia Wei Xiao Yao San or Augmented Rambling Powder) treats Liver qi stagnation accompanied by interior heat and underlying blood and Spleen deficiencies. In cases when the interior qi and blood is deficient, especially Spleen, Liver qi stagnation turns into heat and fire.
Femalance is modified from Xiao Yao San (Rambling Powder) by including Mu Dan Pi and Zhi Zi in the formula to calm the interior heat arising from Spleen and blood deficiencies, as well as from Liver qi stagnation.
