This formula treats a liver-spleen disharmony complicated by enduring dampness and heat, incipient yin vacuity, and blood stasis. This is a common pattern associated with relatively asymptomatic hyperlipidemia, also known as high cholesterol. This formula is a modification of a research formula for the treatment of high cholesterol and coronary artery disease created by Su Hui and originally published in issue #12, 1992 of Zhong Guo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi (Chinese National Journal of Integrated Chinese-Western Medicine).
