Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• strengthens and firms the spleen
• transforms food stagnation in the stomach
• harmonises the stomach
• stops diarrhoea
• harmonises digestion

Description:

A perfectly formulated blend that addresses digestive issues on several levels. In the stomach area, the main problem is a tendency towards food stagnation – the stomach is not "digesting", and we feel pressure and fullness in the epigastrium, which may be accompanied by frequent belching or regurgitation. Symptoms typically worsen after eating. Subsequently, everything can "move lower" – into the intestines, which is where Chinese medicine refers to the spleen. The stomach has not processed the food adequately, making it much harder for the spleen to separate the "pure from the turbid", which is its most important function. Only pure, subtle Gu Qi (grain Qi) can be used to produce Qi, blood and other vital substances. Not only does the organism suffer from their deficiency, but unprocessed food, together with the dampness produced by a malfunctioning spleen, causes significant bloating and rumbling in the abdomen, followed by diarrhoea.

Initially, such states may only occur after overeating or heavy meals; if we do not react correctly and address the issue, the condition becomes chronic and any food may cause us discomfort. Fatigue after eating is also typical. And that is when we reach for Jian Pi Wan.

The blend contains herbs that move stagnation and assist in the proper flow and utilisation of food in the stomach and intestines, firm the spleen, dry and drain pathological dampness, and harmonise the entire digestive complex. Digestion improves, we have more energy and joy from every meal.

Contraindications:

Notes:

The blend replenishes overall energy and supports – strengthens digestive functions.

When strengthening the digestive complex, a regular eating regime and dietary adjustments aimed at strengthening the spleen and harmonising the stomach are necessary.

Weakness of the spleen leads to many other scenarios. Often, due to a lack of defensive Qi, our immunity is also weakened.

If distension in the stomach, bloating and flatulence dominate over the feeling of heaviness, and intermittent aching occurs, we recommend combining with the tincture Mu Xiang Shun Qi Wan, which excellently moves stagnation in the middle burner area.

If digestion is noticeably affected by stress, we recommend combining with the tincture Xiao Yao San, which releases the liver and harmonises it with the spleen.
