Treatment of Large Arteritis with Huiyang Sanjian Tang, March 13, 1995

Angelica sinensis 10 g, white peony 15 g, Chuanxiong 10 g, Atractylodes lancea 6 g, Magnolia officinalis 6 g, Citrus reticulata 6 g, licorice 6 g, chicken blood vine 20 g, salvia miltiorrhiza 20 g, processed aconite 30 g (decocted for 40 minutes first), Poria cocos 12 g, Atractylodes macrocephala 12 g, goji berries 10 g, agarwood 3 g, and Angelica pubescens 10 g. The dosages of angelica, white peony, and salvia can gradually increase to 50–60 g, while the processed aconite should be used in larger quantities and decocted for 40 minutes first to remove its toxicity. This formula was originally reported by Gai Yaochang in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Issue 3, 1980), and I have confirmed its effectiveness through numerous practical applications. It is effective against occlusive vasculitis and thrombotic phlebitis. Based on this, I specially composed a mnemonic: Four flat chicken blood vine true goji fragrance, one single Angelica pubescens together with decoction taste.
