Added Flavors Supplement
The basis for the following formula is Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang as it
appears in Li Dong-yuan’s Pi Wei Lun (Treatise on the Spleen & Stomach).
Ingredients have been added based on Bob Flaws’s research and clinical experience.
Our version is a 12:1 extract.
Indications
This formula treats excessive or pathological uterine bleeding due to
a combination of spleen qi vacuity, kidney yang vacuity, liver depression,
depressive heat, and blood stasis. Women with this scenario have bad PMS,
early menstruation, and profuse menstruation. They may be diagnosed with
either functional uterine bleeding or uterine myoma. Often they have luteal
phase deficiency infertility or progesterone insufficiency habitual miscarriage.
This formula addresses all of these conditions. Typically, this scenario
occurs in women from 35-55 years of age.

Combinations
To get even more symptomatic effect for stopping bleeding, this formula
can be combined with San Qi Wan (Pseudoginseng Pills) or Shi
Hui Wan (Ten Ashed [Ingredients] Pills). If there's phlegm noduation,
then pills for that can be taken simultaneously, such as Hai Zao Wan
(Sargassum Pills). For even stronger supplementation of the spleen
and boosting of the qi, one can combine this formula with Shen Qi Da
Bu Wan (Ginseng & Astragalus Greatly Supplementing Pills), etc.
Formula explanation
Astragalus, Codonopsis, mix-fried Licorice, and Atractylodes Macrocephala
all fortify the spleen and boost the qi. Epimedium and Curculigo supplement
the kidneys and invigorate yang. Bupleurum and Cimicifuga upbear yang
and disinhibit the qi mechanism. Rectification of the qi is also aided
by Citrus’s harmonizing of the stomach and downbearing of turbidity. Scutellaria
clears heat from the blood, either damp heat or depressive heat. It also
stops bleeding. Ophiopogon enriches heart, lung, stomach yin, clears heat
from the heart and lungs, and trans-forms phlegm. Donkey Skin Glue and
Dang Gui both nourish and supplement the blood. Dang Gui also quickens
the blood, while Donkey Skin Glue also stops bleeding. Likewise, Leonurus
quickens the blood and stops bleeding, while Artemisia Argyium warms the
uterus and stops bleeding.
Dosage
Three capsules two times per day equal not less than 36g of raw medicinals.
However, because our extraction process is so much more efficient than
stove-top decoction, we believe this amount of our extract is actually
more like the equivalent of 48-72g of bulk-dispensed herbs.
