Hola,
Porque en la primera foto relacionada con la formula “Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang” está includida la hierba “Bai Shao”?
Es una variación?
Saludos,
Roberto

Hola Roberto,
Si, es una variacion. Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang lleva originalmente “Chi Shao”, que es mas adecuado para la estancacion de sangre que “Bai Shao”.
En la escuela nos han enseñado que al ser una variacion de la combinacion de “Tao Hong Si Wu Tang” con “Si Ni San” (las dos llevan “Bai Shao”), se puede usar “Chi Shao” junto con “Bai Shao”. Algo similar pasaria con “Sheng Di Huang” y “Shu Di Huang”. En “Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang” se usa “Sheng Di Huang” mientras que en “Tao Hong Si Wu Tang” se usa “Shu Di Huang”.
