Do you often feel this way? You constantly feel out of sorts all over, tightness in the chest, no appetite for anything, and your tongue appears yellowish and greasy, yet after a series of hospital check-ups, all the reports come back normal. In fact, this is often what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls "Six Stagnations" — Qi stagnation, blood stasis, deficient fire, dampness, phlegm obstruction, and poor digestion. When several issues are tangled together, no wonder you always feel uncomfortable!

Today, let’s talk about a classic formula passed down by our ancestors—Yueju Wan, which specifically treats such tangled-up health issues and is even more effective than the familiar Xiaoyao Wan and Erchen Wan! Yueju Wan is a treasure formula devised by the renowned Yuan Dynasty physician Zhu Danxi. It consists of just five herbs: Cangzhu (Atractylodes), Zhizi (Gardenia), Xiangfu (Cyperus), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum), and Shenqu (Medicated Leaven). Though simple in composition, it contains the full wisdom of regulating the body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that qi stagnation is the root of all diseases. Just like when a water pipe at home gets clogged and the water flow is obstructed, trouble follows. Cyperus rotundus is specifically responsible for soothing the liver and regulating qi, removing the root cause of qi stagnation; Ligusticum chuanxiong promotes the circulation of qi and blood, helping you resolve issues of poor blood flow; Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness, cutting off dampness at its source.

Gardenia is like a fire extinguisher, putting out the restless deficient fire in the body; Massa Medicata Fermentata is responsible for digesting food accumulation, relieving the burden on the stomach and intestines. These five herbs combined also incidentally help dissolve phlegm, truly achieving "five herbs treating six stagnations" and tidying up the chaos in the body thoroughly.

Now let's compare it with Xiaoyao Pills and Erchen Pills. Xiaoyao Pills are suitable for friends with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency, who often sigh, have emotional distress, poor appetite, indigestion, irregular menstruation, or perimenopausal irritability—taking these is quite appropriate. However, if there are issues of heavy dampness, phlegm, or blood stasis, Xiaoyao Pills may struggle to address them all. Erchen Pills are experts at tackling phlegm-dampness; if you have symptoms like excessive phlegm and cough, chest tightness, or nausea, taking them is spot-on. But if there are additional issues like emotional distress or internal heat, Erchen Pills cannot cover all of them.

The greatness of Yueju Pills lies in their versatility. Whether your main issue is qi stagnation accompanied by blood stasis, internal heat, phlegm-dampness, or food accumulation, it can simultaneously regulate them all.
