This formula supports digestive vitality by integrating traditional Chinese principles with Western herbs, addressing both root and branch patterns of digestive disturbance. Huang Qi root and Dang Shen root are central qi tonics in Chinese medicine, known to augment Spleen function, improve appetite, and support postnatal qi production. Bai zhu root functions similarly, strengthening the Spleen while drying dampness. Wild Yam is a Western herb very similar to Shan yao root, supporting qi and yin nourishment, while helping to ease biliary spasm and GI colic. Chen Pi (aged citrus peel) is used in Chinese medicine to regulate qi, resolve Food Stagnation, and harmonize digestion, particularly in cases marked by bloating or poor appetite. Fennel seed is likewise included to ease small intestinal cramping, gas, and colic through its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic actions. Ginger rhizome ignites digestive fire and disperses cold, while Licorice root harmonizes the formula, providing a demulcent and regulatory effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
This formula is ideal for individuals with weak digestion, poor assimilation, or post-infectious gut sensitivity. It may also be helpful in addressing Spleen qi deficiency patterns with mild dampness, bloating, and fatigue after meals.
Suggested Use: Take 2.5 mL twice daily before meals, in a small amount of water or as directed by a practitioner.
