Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang – treating tumors of the lower abdomen
This formula is very similar to Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang and treats the blood stasis cancers. However this formula works better for cancers in the caudal abdomen. The main cancers I use it for are tumors of the adrenal glands, kidneys, prostate or bladder. It has a wonderful smell to it as it contains the culinary herbs fennel, ginger and cinnamon.
- Tao Ren (peach seed)
- Dang Gui (angelica root)
- Hong Hua (safflower flowers)
- Chi Shao (red peony root)
- Chuan Xiong (lovage root)
- Mo Yao (myrrh)
- Gan Jiang (ginger)
- Xiao Hui Xiang (fennel)
- Yan Hu Suo (corydalis)
- Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark)
- Pu Huang (cattail pollen)
I usually add San Leng (scirpus rhizome) and E Zhu (turmeric) to this formula to enhance its effect against cancer. Studies done on these two herbs show that they have a significant effect in inducing apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.
I dose this one the same as Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang.
