Is any one in the dept. able to tell you the ingredients of what they are prescribing? my guess is that qiang and du refer to qiang huo and du huo. my guess is also that there is nothing remarkable or peculiar about this formula if it is so commonly prescribed. Can't wait to see the ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Unfortunately I have now left this dept. Was looking over my notes and wanted to look up its composition but could not find it. The translation I believe is 'Tonify the Kidney and Strengthen the Du Mai' and probably does include Du Huo. Thanks anyway.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Phil, Very clear info on rather short list of formulas. Nice and concise for patient or student referral. Thank you.
