111 BEI XIE SHEN SHI WAN – Valley of Marsh Fields

Herbal formula based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Introduction

This traditional herbal formula is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is associated with supporting balance in patterns described as accumulation of damp-heat (湿热 shī rè), particularly in the lower burner (下焦 xià jiāo).

In TCM theory, such imbalance may affect the skin, lower part of the body, and fluid metabolism. The formula combines herbs traditionally used to clear damp-heat, harmonize blood, and support the body's internal balance.

In accordance with EU regulations, no specific health claims can be made for this product.

Characteristics according to TCM

Within the framework of TCM, the formula is associated with:

• clearing damp-heat (清湿热 qīng shī rè)

• cooling and invigorating the blood (凉血活血 liáng xuè huó xuè)

• strengthening the Spleen (健脾 jiàn pí)

• supporting fluid metabolism (利水 lì shuǐ)

Traditional formula concept

The formula combines herbs with drying, cooling, and harmonizing properties:

• Bai Xian Pi 白鲜皮 – clears heat, eliminates dampness and wind from the surface

• Bi Xie 萆薢 – traditionally associated with draining turbid dampness from the lower burner

• Yi Yi Ren 薏苡仁, Cang Zhu 苍术, Fu Ling 茯苓 – strengthen the Spleen and dry dampness

• Huang Bai 黄柏 – clears damp-heat from the lower burner

• Mu Dan Pi 牡丹皮 – cools and moves the blood

• Tong Cao 通草, Ze Xie 泽泻 – support fluid regulation

• Zhi Zi 栀子 – clears heat and cools the blood

In TCM, this combination reflects the principle of draining damp-heat from below while harmonizing the internal environment.

These descriptions are based on TCM theory and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.
