Therapeutic Actions 1.Addresses fatigue, weakness of the limbs, loss of appetite, gas and bloating after meals 2.Resolves nausea and vomiting caused by dampness affecting the spleen/stomach 3.Treats phlegm accumulated due to spleen qi deficiencyChinese Therapeutic Effects Tonifies Qi Harmonizes the spleen and stomach Strengthens the spleen Transforms phlegmFormula 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
