What Chinese patent medicines are available for treating a body constitution characterized by phlegm-dampness and blood stasis obstruction?

Generally, there is no ideal proprietary Chinese medicine for phlegm-dampness stasis constitution, but certain proprietary Chinese medicines such as Shenling Baizhu Powder, Xuefu Zhuyu Pills, Xiaohuoluo Pills, Xiangsha Liujun Pills, and Xiaoyao Pills can help eliminate phlegm and resolve stasis. It should be noted that proprietary Chinese medicines must be used under the guidance of a qualified TCM practitioner. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Shenling Baizhu Powder: This formula contains ginseng, poria (Fuling), atractylodes (Baizhu), and other ingredients. It functions to strengthen the spleen and boost qi, as well as remove dampness and resolve phlegm. By enhancing spleen and stomach function, it promotes the elimination of dampness and alleviates symptoms of phlegm-dampness stasis.

2. Xiaohuoluo Pills: Primarily composed of herbs such as processed cobra lily (Dannanxing), prepared aconite root (Zhi Chuanwu), earthworm (Dilong), and processed monkshood (Zhi Caowu), this medicine dispels wind and cold, resolves phlegm and dampness, promotes blood circulation to relieve pain, and relaxes tendons and improves circulation. It helps alleviate symptoms such as cough with excessive phlegm, chest tightness, and abdominal distension caused by phlegm-dampness stasis.

3. Xuefu Zhuyu Pills: These pills are mainly used to treat symptoms such as headache, chest pain, and palpitations caused by internal stasis of blood. Through their function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, they help eliminate phlegm-dampness from the body and improve related symptoms. However, it should be noted that this medicine is contraindicated for pregnant women.

4. Xiangsha Liujun Pills: Containing ingredients such as costus root (Muxiang), cardamom (Sharen), and codonopsis (Dangshen), this formula enhances spleen and stomach function, promotes the elimination of dampness, and alleviates symptoms of phlegm-dampness stasis. However, it is not suitable for individuals with dry mouth, reduced saliva, or dry stools, nor for patients with acute gastroenteritis.

5. Xiaoyao Pills: The primary function of this medicine is to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen. Its additional function of nourishing blood and regulating menstruation also helps improve poor circulation caused by phlegm-dampness stasis. Taking Xiaoyao Pills can harmonize qi and blood and promote the dissipation of phlegm-dampness.

In daily life, it is important to develop good lifestyle habits, avoid long-term smoking, and engage in appropriate physical activities such as jogging and hiking, which are beneficial to overall health.
