Dr. Yang Ziqi
Ren Shen Gui Pi Wan is a compound traditional Chinese medicine primarily composed of herbs such as ginseng, angelica root, astragalus, white atractylodes, sour jujube seed, polygala, and others. Its functions and therapeutic effects mainly include the following:
1. Tonify qi and nourish blood: Its main components are ginseng and angelica root. Ginseng strongly replenishes vital energy (primordial qi), while angelica root effectively nourishes blood. Together, they help improve symptoms caused by qi and blood deficiency, such as sallow complexion, pale tongue with thin white coating, fatigue, and weakness.
2. Strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart: Ingredients like astragalus, white atractylodes, and poria have functions of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, thereby aiding the recovery of spleen and stomach function. It can be used to treat symptoms such as scanty menstrual flow and deficiency of qi and blood.
3. Regulate the middle jiao: Costus root regulates qi circulation and alleviates pain, harmonizing the function of the spleen and stomach. This ensures that the formula provides nourishment without causing excessive stickiness, thus avoiding the problem of excessive nourishment without proper transformation and transportation.
4. Treat palpitations and insomnia: It can improve symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and insomnia caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen and insufficiency of qi and blood.
