Can you take Jade Spirit Ointment for Liver Qi Stagnation?

The use of Yu Ling Cream is generally not recommended for liver qi stagnation (poor qi and blood transportation in the liver, emotional depression). Medications that ease the liver and regulate qi (regulate stagnation of liver qi) such as Chai Hu Shuo Hepatitis Dispensary and Free and Easy Dispensary can be chosen under the guidance of a physician. Most of the Yu Ling Creams currently available on the market are composed of cinnamon yuen and American ginseng, or cinnamon yuen and ginseng. Gui Yuan, i.e. longan meat, has the effect of tonifying the heart and spleen (tonifying the heart and spleen with tonic medicines), nourishing the blood and calming the mind (stabilizing the mind and soothing the emotions by nourishing the blood). It should not be used if there is dampness in the middle (too much dampness causing fullness and discomfort in the spleen and stomach) or if there is stagnant drinking (water stays in the body), phlegm or fire. Radix Panax Ginseng has the effects of tonifying Qi, nourishing Yin, clearing heat and promoting the production of body fluid. Note that this product should not be used with quassia, and is contraindicated in cases of deficiency of yang in the middle, obstruction of cold and dampness in the middle, and depletion of qi and fire. Ginseng has the effects of tonifying vital energy (replenishing the root of the body’s qi), fixing the loss of body fluid, tranquilizing the mind and promoting intellectual development. It should not be used together with quassia and wulin, and is contraindicated for those with solid or hot symptoms but without deficiency of positive qi. Therefore, the use of Yu Ling Cream is generally not recommended for liver qi stagnation. If you need to use the medicine, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital and take it under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying your condition.
