Formula: Astragalus, Angelica sinensis, red peony root, ligusticum, fine cinnamon, whole scorpion, etc.
Function: Tonify qi, activate blood, unblock meridians, relieve pain.
Indication: Migraine.
Explanation: The formula heavily uses Astragalus combined with Angelica sinensis to tonify qi and nourish blood, promoting blood circulation. Ligusticum activates blood and regulates qi to relieve pain; paired with red peony root to cool blood and promote blood circulation, thus moderating the excessive dispersion of ligusticum. Fine cinnamon warms and disperses exterior wind; whole scorpion dispels internal wind with mild warmth. Treats both exterior and interior conditions, collectively achieving tonifying deficiency, unblocking meridians, and relieving pain.
Clinical Application: This formula is primarily used for migraine caused by qi deficiency leading to blood stasis obstructing brain meridians and poor circulation.<pain relief>
