Click the blue text to follow me; if you have spleen and stomach issues, I can help you!
Hello everyone, I am Ge Yan, the Chief Physician of the Gastroenterology Department at a public tertiary hospital in Guangzhou.
What should you do if you experience mental fatigue, physical weakness, dizziness, poor appetite, palpitations, insomnia, and vivid dreams? This is due to insufficient heart and spleen leading to deficiency of both Qi and blood.
Today, I will share with you a traditional Chinese medicine formula that can help replenish your energy.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the blood vessels, which is the source of energy for the entire body. The body requires the nourishment of blood, which provides energy to all parts of the body.
TCM also holds that Qi is the commander of blood, and the spleen and stomach are the foundation of postnatal life. When the spleen and stomach are weak, the spleen’s ability to transform and transport will decline, leading to symptoms such as mental fatigue, physical weakness, and poor appetite.
Today, I will share a traditional Chinese medicine formula that can effectively alleviate the issues I mentioned above, which is the Ren Shen Yang Rong Wan (Ginseng Nourishing Pill).
Let’s first discuss the four medicinal ingredients in this formula: Ren Shen (Ginseng), Bai Zhu (White Atractylodes), Fu Ling (Poria), and Gan Cao (Licorice). These four are known as the Four Gentlemen Decoction, which is the best combination for Qi supplementation.
Huang Qi (Astragalus) is also used for Qi supplementation, but it is milder compared to ginseng and less likely to cause excess.
Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis), Bai Zhu (White Atractylodes), and Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia) are used for blood supplementation.
This formula cleverly includes Chen Pi (Dried Tangerine Peel), which not only helps to lighten the burden on the spleen and stomach but also regulates Qi, preventing the supplemented Qi from stagnating in the body.
Yuan Zhi (Polygala) is used to connect the heart and kidney; Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra) is used to nourish the heart and calm the spirit; Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) and Da Zao (Jujube) are used to protect the spleen and stomach; and Gan Cao (Licorice) harmonizes the other herbs.
This combination can effectively alleviate the issues caused by insufficient heart and spleen, and deficiency of both Qi and blood.
I am TCM practitioner Ge Yan. If you also experience similar symptoms such as dizziness and physical weakness, but are unsure of the underlying issues, it is advisable to use medication under the guidance of a professional doctor.
