People with low blood pressure can usually take Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills, but these pills do not treat low blood pressure. Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills are primarily made from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Bupleurum (Chai Hu), Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), and licorice (Gan Cao). Clinically, they are mainly used to regulate symptoms such as menstrual irregularities and chest tightness in women, functioning to soothe the liver and regulate qi. When patients with low blood pressure experience the aforementioned symptoms, they may take this medication under the guidance of a physician.
