Nutgrass Flatsedge Rhizome (xiang fu)

Rhizoma Cyperi

 

Properties: The herb is pungent, sweet and slightly bitter in flavour, and neutral in nature. It acts on the liver channel. Being pungent for dispersing, bitter for purging, sweet for mild action, and mainly acting on the liver channel to promote Qi circulation, the herb can sooth the liver and regulate the liver-Qi. Blood circulation follows Qi circulation, and the coordination between Qi and blood can make menstruation self-regulated. Therefore, it is an important herb for soothing the liver and regulating menstruation.

Effects: Soothing the liver, promoting circulation of Qi, regulating menstruation and alleviating pain.

The herb is often used in combination with bupleurum root, nearly mature bitter orange and other herbs for soothing the liver and regulating the flow of Qi, such as Chaihu Shugan Powder, to treat distention, fullness and pain in the chest and hypochondrium caused by stagnation of the liver-Qi; and with Chinese angelica root, chuanxiong rhizome, bupleurum root and other herbs for promoting Qi and blood circulation, regulating menstruation and alleviating pain, to treat stagnation of the liver-Qi, irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.
