Because two of the ingredients are Guizhi and Shechuangzi, I suspect

that there is a typo in the formula name. It probably should be:

Gui-She-Di-Huang-Tang [gui-zhi, she-chuan-zi, bai-zhu, hong-hua,

xiang-fu, long-gu, he-shou-wu, ban-lan-gen, mu-li, bai-shao, ma-zi-

ren, xia-ku-cao, shu-di-huang, dang-gui, e-zhu].

 

Using Google AND the main Chinese WWW engine (www.baidu.com ], I

cannot find a single hit for that formula on WWW, even if I use the

correct Hanzi characters, in simple form or full (Mandarin) form!

 

I suspect:that this is an empirical, non-traditional recipe, made by

one obscure company (because it apparently has no website!).

 

Is the company name & address listed on the box / packaging? If so,

you might try to contact the company direct as to what THEIR

suggested actions & uses are.

 

Hugs to my Botucatu friends,

Hi Phil,

I appreciate your effort to explore further what that formula really

should be and you are probably right about that.There are literally ten

thousand more formulas in books and we can only use the most popular

ones.
