Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• tonifies the Qi of the middle burner
• raises sunken Qi
• raises sunken Yang
• raises organs in case of descent or prolapse
• regulates Qi

Description:

The spleen, or the "digestion complex", has many irreplaceable functions in the body. One of them is to hold organs in place and prevent them from descending. And it is not just about the organs – the circulation of Qi 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 them – and this is ensured by the spleen, the central and most important organ of our post-natal life – life after birth.

This is a classic formula from the 13th century, by the famous Li Dong-Yuan, who wrote it for situations where insufficient spleen Qi fails in its ability to control the Qi mechanism because it is too weak. We administer herbs that replenish and raise spleen Qi. Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang therefore tonifies the spleen, harmonises the middle burner, the spleen and the stomach, supports yang and the lifting function of the spleen, and thus raises sunken organs. This often leads to the correction of such unpleasant symptoms as frequent urination or incontinence.

It is also one of the formulas for addressing the pattern of so-called yin fire: a weak spleen, variously expressed heat above and dampness and/or cold below.

Indications:

descent of the stomach or other internal organs, rectal or vaginal and uterine prolapse, hernia

• varicose veins due to spleen weakness
• incontinence
• fatigue, lack of physical and mental strength and vitality
• all symptoms worsen after physical or mental exertion, fatigue and exhaustion
• weakness of muscles and connective tissue, even atrophy
• feeling of a heavy body or limbs
• loss of appetite
• chronic diarrhoea or constipation due to Qi deficiency
• poor digestion
• low blood pressure
• spontaneous sweating
• shortness of breath, weak voice, indistinct speech
• aversion to cold, thirst for warm drinks
• headaches due to Qi deficiency (without nausea, worsening with fatigue, rest helps)
• dizziness, instability
• impaired or blurred vision or deafness or tinnitus
• weak or absent menstruation
• spotting between cycles, irregular uterine bleeding
• recurrent miscarriages
• gynaecological discharge

Modern use:

• weakness and exhaustion after a severe illness
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• prolapses and ptosis (prolapse and descent) of organs, haemorrhoids
• gastritis
• chronic diarrhoea or dysentery
• immunodeficiencies
• intermittent fever worsening after exertion
• long-term subfebrile temperature (elevated temperature)
• allergic rhinitis
• chronic bronchitis
• leukopenia (low white blood cell count)
• pernicious anaemia
• chronic hepatitis
• cataract
• tinnitus
• frequent urination
• incontinence
• cycle irregularities
• uterine bleeding
• recurrent habitual miscarriage
• in pregnancy for dizziness, light-headedness
• oedema
• palpitations and fatigue
• postpartum anuria (urinary retention)
• frequent illness after childbirth
• supplement to chemotherapy or radiotherapy or in post-operative conditions

Tongue:

• pale and moist
• swollen with tooth marks
• can also be pale red
• mainly at the tip
• with a thin white moist or thick greasy coating (depending on the amount of dampness present)

Pulse:

• xu
• xi
• ru (fine, broad, without strength)

Contraindications:

• fever during heat from Yin deficiency (empty heat) or full heat
• persistence of external pathogens
• kidney deficiency

Be careful not to support pathogenic Qi or induce excessive rising of yang with our treatment – there must be spleen and Qi deficiency present!

Note:

A condition for using the formula is a weak spleen. A typical signal is that all the mentioned difficulties appear or worsen during physical or mental exertion, which consumes Qi. Alternatively, if the difficulties are chronic, exhaustion or a reaction to exertion were present at the beginning.
