Huoxue Sanyu Decoction

Huoxue Sanyu Decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formula used primarily to promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis. It is composed of multiple herbs, with the specific composition varying by clinical context and practitioner. The decoction is commonly used in the management of gynecological disorders such as adenomyosis, where it has been shown to alleviate symptoms like dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), excessive menstrual bleeding, and increased uterine volume[1]. In clinical studies, it has also been combined with other therapies for conditions such as breast cancer (to improve quality of life and reduce tumor marker levels)[5] and as part of integrated TCM regimens for various chronic diseases. The mechanism of action is based on TCM theory—promoting blood flow, removing stasis, reducing pain—and may involve anti-inflammatory effects or modulation of immune responses according to modern pharmacological interpretations. It does not have a single defined molecular target but acts through multi-component herbal synergy.
