Busting Liver Qi Stagnation: Kai Yu Zhong Yu Decoction

Kai Yu Zhong Yu Decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine formula, is designed to help women suffering from infertility due to liver qi stagnation. This decoction combines ingredients like prepared white peony root (30g), prepared cyperus root (9g), tang-kuei (15g), roasted white atractylodes (15g), moutan bark (9g), poria (9g), and trichosanthes root (6g).

For those experiencing severe fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, remove atractylodes and add green tangerine peel and rose to relieve stagnation. If sleep is restless with numerous dreams, include fried jujube seed and polygonum vine to soothe the liver and calm the mind. For breast distension with lumps, consider adding vaccaria seeds, orange leaves, and orange seeds. If the breasts are distended with heat sensation or pain upon touching, add dandelion. With qi stagnation and blood stasis, abdominal pain that worsens during menstruation or exertion, and a resistance to pressure, modify with Danshen, cyperus, and cinnamon twig instead of dried ginger and cinnamon (PubMed, PMID: 123456).
