Characteristics according to TCM

This formula is primarily associated with:

• tonifying Spleen Qi
• removing dampness
• supporting digestion
• harmonizing the middle burner

Traditional composition and formula principles

The formula expands upon Si Jun Zi Tang with additional herbs targeting dampness and digestion:

• Ren Shen 人参, Bai Zhu 白术, and Fu Ling 茯苓 tonify Spleen Qi
• Shan Yao 山药 supports digestion and stabilizes the middle
• Lian Zi 莲子 and Bai Bian Dou 白扁豆 strengthen the spleen and address dampness
• Yi Yi Ren 薏苡仁 drains dampness

This combination creates a balanced approach between tonification and elimination of dampness without burdening digestion.

In modern formulations, some ingredients may be adjusted in accordance with EU regulations.
