192 GUI PI WAN - The Harmony of a Peach Orchard

GUI PI WAN – Traditional Herbal Formula According to the Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Traditional Use in TCM:

• Supports vitality and the balance of Qi and Blood

• Harmonizes the functional relationship between the Spleen and the Heart

• Traditionally associated with maintaining a calm and balanced state of mind

Description of the Formula in the Context of TCM:
GUI PI WAN is a classical herbal combination traditionally used in TCM in situations associated with Spleen and Blood deficiency, particularly those believed to arise from excessive mental effort, prolonged concentration, or emotional imbalance. The formula is designed to support the harmonious interaction between the Spleen and the Heart, as conceptualized in TCM theory.

The formula is based on classical prescriptions such as Si Jun Zi Tang and Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang, which are traditionally aimed at strengthening foundational physiological processes related to Qi and Blood production. GUI PI WAN has long been used in traditional practice where strengthening the “middle” (the digestive and transformative functions) and calming the “Shen” (spirit/mind) is indicated.

Traditional View on Composition:
The primary ("emperor") herbs in the formula target the Spleen. Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu, and Zhi Gan Cao are traditionally believed to support digestion and nutrient transformation—key functions associated with the Spleen in TCM. Long Yan Rou, Dang Gui, and Suan Zao Ren are included for their traditional role in harmonizing the interaction between Qi and Blood and contributing to a stable emotional state.

The formula also includes:

• Yuan Zhi – traditionally used to support the circulation of Heart Qi

• Fu Shen – known in TCM for calming effects

• Mu Xiang – often used to support digestive harmony

• Da Zao (red jujube) – used to balance and harmonize the overall formula

Suggested Dosage (for reference):
A typical adult dose is 8 pills, 3 times per day. In periods of increased mental demand, the dosage may be temporarily increased, ideally under the guidance of a TCM practitioner.

Storage:
Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
