Use of the recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:

-tonifies the Qi of the middle radiant

-raises the sagging Qi

-raises the submerged Yang

-lifts organs in case of drop or prolapse

-regulates Qi


Description:

The spleen or "digestive complex" has many indispensable functions in the body. One of them is to hold the organs in place and prevent their decline. And it's not just the organs - the Qi cycle also needs the lifting function of the Spleen. Only then can all vital substances flow in a perfect circle. It is also important that there is enough of it - and this in turn is ensured by the Spleen, the central and most important organ of our post-heavenly life - the life after birth.

It is the classic 13th century blend, by the famous Li Dong-Yuan, who wrote it for situations where the Spleen's Qi fails in its ability to control the Qi mechanism because it is too weak. We administer herbs that replenish and raise the Spleen Qi. Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang therefore tonifies the Spleen, harmonizes the Central Radiant, the Spleen and the Stomach, and supports the Yang and lifting function of the Spleen, thus lifting the drooping organs. Often such unpleasant manifestations as frequent urination or incontinence are corrected.

It is also one of the formulas for dealing with the image of the so-called yin fire: weak Spleen, variously expressed heat above and dampness and/or cold below.
