This formula is only suitable for strong bodies with obstruction. It clears excess and resolves obstruction of the Blood. As stated, it was only used every 3 days, with appropriate medicines being taken in the days between. In obstinate obstructions it may be necessary to take on an extended basis.

It could potentially be of use in Uterine Fibroids.
