Chì Sháo is prescribed with other herbs to cool and move Blood.
Blood Stasis is induced by trauma (including musculoskeletal injury and trauma caused by surgery), long term unresolved emotional pain (chronic, and present for many years), complications of childbirth and menstruation (such as endometriosis) and as a sequalae to long term stasis of fluids, internal fire or cold.
Chì Sháo is indicated where there is heat, and also clears fire from the Liver, as may arise in Spring or where there is a problem with anger.
It is often prescribed with Bái Sháo (white peony) which softens the Liver and Nourishes Blood to resolve issues where Blood and heat have hardened the Liver.
It is strongly indicated for menstrual disorders with severe stabbing pain which lasts for long periods of time, and is accompanied by extreme irritability and anger leading up to and during menses, particularly if there is fever associated and purplish to dark clots.
