Preparation & dosage

Decoction. Dang Gui Wei is used, as it has stronger Blood invigorating properties.

  • Some believe the dosage of Huang Qi should be reduced to 15-18 grams in order to better balance the formula. If large amounts of Huang Qi are used, Shi Gao and Dai Zhe Shi can be added to better balance the blood raising effects of Huang Qi.
