This is an empirical formula based on Dr. Fung’s 60 years of clinical experience. Hemorrhoids are a common affliction caused by a variety of factors. Biomedically, these include pregnancy, constipation, and straining during bowel movements. Individuals in professions that involve sitting for prolonged periods are also prone to hemorrhoids. In Chinese medicine, the presenting pattern is one of damp-heat sinking. Thus, the primary goal of this formula is to clear damp-heat.

The chief herb is sweet wormwood (qing hao), which is bitter and pungent to clear heat and dampness. Chinese salvia (dan shen) unblocks meridians and activates blood, while quercetin (from Sophora japonica) strengthens blood vessels and arrests bleeding. Quercetin is especially valuable for treating bleeding hemorrhoids because its actions are primarily directed at damp-heat patterns of the large intestine. Chinese skullcap (huang qin) clears heat, dries dampness, and stops bleeding. Other herbs in this formula that address heat and damp-heat include rehmannia (sheng di huang), phellodendron (huang bai), and Japanese honeysuckle (jin yin hua).

Since heat consumes yin, and in cases of bleeding, there is a relative insufficiency of yin and blood, it is necessary to nourish yin and blood in order to effectively resolve such conditions as hemorrhoids. Thus, in this formula, yin-blood nourishing herbs such as Chinese peony (bai shao) and dong quai (dang gui) are added. Heal All (xia ku cao) clears heat, relieves yin deficiency and yang excess, and resolves red, swollen tissues.
