bubble_chart Formula Principles

This formula is commonly used to treat spleen deficiency with liver depression and damp stagnation leading to leukorrhea. The spleen governs transportation and transformation, while the liver governs the free flow of qi. When spleen deficiency and liver depression occur, dampness descends and manifests as leukorrhea. In this formula, Tangshen, Liquorice Root, and Chinese Yam tonify qi and strengthen the spleen, drying dampness and securing the lower body. Peony Root, Dried Tangerine Peel, and Bupleurum soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach, relieving depression and raising yang. Plantain Seed guides dampness downward, while black Schizonepeta enters the blood aspect to expel wind and eliminate dampness. The formula combines tonifying and astringent herbs with a small amount of qi-regulating and yang-raising herbs such as Bupleurum, Dried Tangerine Peel, and Schizonepeta, ensuring tonification without stagnation and facilitating the expulsion of pathogens. Thus, the formula as a whole strengthens the spleen, eliminates dampness, tonifies qi, and raises yang. The combination of herbs achieves both tonification and dispersion, promoting vigorous qi, a healthy spleen, and the transformation of dampness through yang rising. It is a commonly used formula for spleen deficiency leukorrhea.
