Formula explanation:
Within this formula, Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and mix-fried Gan Cao, the
ingredients in Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), are the sovereign
medicinals which fortify the spleen and supplement the qi. The ministers in this
formula are Shan Yao, Yi Yi Ren, Bai Bian Dou, and Lian Zi which supplement the
spleen, seep dampness, and stop diarrhea. Sha Ren dries dampness and rectifies
the qi, while Jie Geng upbears the clear. These two medicinals are the
assistants.
Dosage: According to Him-che Yeung in Handbook of Chinese Herbs and
Formulas, Vol. 2, the standard daily dose in decoction for this formula is 134
grams. Because of the 10:1 concentration ratio and the efficiency of our
manufacturing process it would take only 18 capsules per day of Blue Poppy's
version of this formula to equal the standard daily dose. The actual prescribed
dose should be determined by the practitioner on a case by case basis.
