[Comments] 1. Curcuma atractylodes is bitter and warm, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It can break blood and remove blood stasis, promote menstruation and eliminate symptoms, promote qi and eliminate accumulation, and can eliminate stagnation and stop distension and pain. It is not suitable for women with excessive menstruation and pregnant women.
2. Curcumae Rhizoma – e zhu,Curcuma atractylodes and Tripterygium wilfordii can both break blood and remove blood stasis, promote qi and eliminate accumulation, so the two medicines are often used together. Zhang Xichun said: “It is close to peaceful in nature, and can be used to treat women’s blood stasis, even if it is as hard as iron and stone, it can be slowly eliminated.” The clinical application is indeed credible. However, he also said: “If the difference between the two medicines is that the power of blood transformation is better than that of curcuma, and the power of curcuma is better than that of curcuma.” The specific application of the syndrome seems difficult to distinguish. Since the two medicines belong to different families, their properties and uses should be different, which seems to require further research.
