Use of the recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:
-regulates Qi
-harmonizes the Liver and Stomach
-releases blocked Qi of the Stomach and Intestines
-moves the center and blockages from food
-removes pathological dampness from the middle fire
-strengthens the Spleen and Stomach
Description:
This blend is primarily for conditions where Liver Qi invades the Stomach and causes food stagnation. This manifests as repeated feelings of "indigestion" that are clearly tied to an unpleasant emotional state and/or stress. Symptoms such as fullness, pressure or distension in the epigastrium or lower abdomen, which may go to pain, burping, occur. Acid reflux or heartburn, vomiting after eating followed by relief, bloating and flatulence, mushy stools or alternating with constipation may be present. This may result in lack of appetite and even aversion to food. We have a bad mood or depressed mood, often sighing.
This problem sometimes arises in young children, where it has its roots in the transition from milk to a normal diet. And the fact that babies' digestion is not yet fully developed plays a role here. Or, on the contrary, it comes in older people, where it is already naturally slowed down. But it is also very common in people of working age who do not follow the principles of proper eating - they eat irregularly, overeat, their diet is heavy.
The mixture excellently stirs up the stagnations in the region of the middle radiator - the Liver and the Spleen and thus helps the Stomach to digest better. Our modification of the basic formula makes the Liver even better and harmonizes it with the Stomach, and also helps the Spleen deal with the resulting dampness.
It is therefore an indispensable aid not only for Western diagnoses such as peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis or irritable bowel, but also for so-called psychosomatic digestive problems caused by today's hectic and stressful lifestyle.
