bubble_chart Formula Principles

The heart governs blood and stores the spirit. Insufficiency of qi and blood in the heart meridian leads to an inability to nourish the spirit, resulting in restlessness and symptoms such as palpitations due to fright and insomnia. Treatment should focus on tonifying qi, nourishing blood, and calming the heart to soothe the spirit. In the formula, ginseng and astragalus are used to tonify heart qi, while chuanxiong and angelica nourish heart blood. Poria, polygala, biota seeds, ziziphus seeds, and schisandra are employed to tranquilize the mind and calm the spirit. Additionally, fermented pinellia is used to harmonize the stomach and resolve phlegm, aiding in the overall effect. Cinnamon is used for its dispersing and warming properties to counteract acidity, and licorice root harmonizes the various herbs, collectively achieving the effects of tonifying qi and blood, nourishing the heart, and tranquilizing the mind.

bubble_chart Formula Modification

For water retention and severe palpitations, add Areca Seed and Red Poria.
