Guizhi Fuling Pill is a classic formula from Zhang Zhongjing's "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber", which has the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc. In recent years, Guizhi Fuling Pill has been widely used in the domestic clinic, which can not only treat gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adenomyosis, but also play a positive therapeutic role in diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hyperlipoproteinemia. Lipoproteinaemia and other diseases have also played a positive therapeutic role. This paper summarises and analyses the clinical application of Guizhi Fuling Pills in recent years to provide a basis for further broadening the scope of clinical use.
