Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Gui Pi Wan is mainly composed of various medicinal ingredients including Astragalus (Huang Qi), Atractylodes (Bai Zhu), Poria (Fu Ling), Licorice (Gan Cao), Ginseng (Ren Shen), Angelica Sinensis (Dang Gui), Ziziphus jujuba seed (Suan Zao Ren), and Saussurea (Mu Xiang). Its primary functions are to invigorate qi and the spleen, nourish the blood, and calm the mind. It is suitable for individuals with physical deficiency and those suffering from deficiency of both the heart and spleen.
The ingredients in Gui Pi Wan such as Astragalus and Codonopsis (Dang Shen) help to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, enhance the digestive and absorptive functions of the spleen, and promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients. With herbal components such as Poria and Ziziphus jujuba seed, Gui Pi Wan has the effect of nourishing the blood and calming the mind, thereby improving sleep quality and alleviating emotional issues such as anxiety and irritability. Gui Pi Wan demonstrates significant therapeutic effects on symptoms caused by deficiency of both the heart and spleen, including shortness of breath, palpitations, insomnia with frequent dreams, and dizziness.
Gui Pi Wan is suitable for individuals with a weak spleen and stomach, such as those suffering from indigestion, poor appetite, pallor, and fatigue. It is also indicated for those with deficiency of both the heart and spleen who may experience symptoms such as insomnia, frequent dreams, palpitations, and forgetfulness. For individuals with deficiency of both qi and blood manifesting as sallow complexion, dizziness, vertigo, palpitations, and shortness of breath, Gui Pi Wan can also help improve these symptoms.
Patients should use this medication under the guidance of a physician and should not take it arbitrarily.
