SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF SPLEEN QI/DEFENSIVE QI VACUITY INCLUDE
This formula is meant for the treatment of recurrent sore throats in children, including those diagnosed as strep throat. Because of inherent spleen qi vacuity, children’s defensive qi tends to be vacuous and insecure. The more vacuous the spleen, the more likely it is a child may suffer from recurrent catching cold and sore throats. Overeating sweets and overuse of antibiotics worsen this tendency. Therefore, within this formula, Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri), Jin Yin Hua (Flos Lonicerae), Lian Qiao (Fructus Forsythiae), and Niu Bang Zi (Fructus Arctii) all clear heat and dispel wind, while Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao, Xuan Shen (Radix Scrophulariae), Sheng Di (uncooked Radix Rehmanniae), and Ban Lan Gen (Radix Isatidis/Baphicacanthi) clear heat and resolve toxins. Among these heatclearing medicinals, Xuan Shen, Niu Bang Zi, and Ban Lan Gen have the empirical function of disinhibiting the throat. Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae) clears any internal heat in the lungs, liver, and stomach which may exacerbate any heat in the exterior. Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri) also drains the liver based on the fact that, in children, the liver commonly has a surplus. Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsitis), Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinellia), Da Zao (Fructus Jujubae), Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), and Sheng Jiang (uncooked Rhizoma Zingiberis) fortify the spleen at the same time as they transform phlegm and eliminate dampness that congeals into phlegm. Jie Geng (Radix Platycodi) also transforms phlegm and, along with Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), guides all the other medicinals in the formula to the upper body, including the region the chest and neck. Because the blood is the mother of the qi, the addition of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) and Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Albae) help in the engenderment of the qi at the same time as relaxing the liver and harmonizing the defensive and constructive.
