Formula
Rationale
This is
the classic Chinese formula that treats deficiency of spleen Qi. Its basis is
four herbs (the Four Gentlemen) which tonify the Qi of both the spleen and lung.
Codonopsis (dang shen) and white atractylodes (bai zhu) combined
tonify the spleen qi, lung qi, dry dampness, and facilitate the transporting
function of the spleen. Poria (fu ling) leaches out dampness. Baked
licorice (zhi gan cao) tonifies the spleen while harmonizing the middle
burner (stomach/spleen). Two additional herbs address phlegm: pinellia (ban
xia) and citrus (chen pi) are drying and are able to transform
phlegm. Since the formula tends to be cloying, vladimiria souliei (mu xiang)
and cardamon (sha ren) have been added to disperse stagnation in the
stomach, facilitating the absorption of the formula.
Clinical
Notes
1. This
formula addresses a wide range of complaints. The key to its proper use lies in
identifying deficiency syndromes of the spleen and lung, i.e., qi deficiency.
Since the spleen's function in Chinese medicine is to transport dampness, the
formula is effective not only as a digestive tonic, but also treats fatigue,
tired limbs, and low energy
2. Phlegm is a frequent problem in cases of spleen qi deficiency. Six Gentlemen
functions to dry the spleen and thus transform phlegm. It is helpful in cases
when phlegm turbidity manifests through the lung and its related orifice, the
nose. The formula is warming and is thus appropriate for deficient cold type
conditions. Yellow or green phlegm indicates heat, a presentation that is NOT
appropriate for this formula
