bai.shao .96 Fifth and Sixth Heavenly Stem Pill (Wu Ji Wan)

Lovely bai shao relaxes tension

Ingredients:

Huang Lian :黃蓮 coptis rhizome Rhizoma Coptidis
If heart burn “burns” then Huang Lian “cools”. That’s exactly how Chinese medicine thinks about it too.

Wu Zhu Yu :吳茱萸 evodia fruit Fructus Evodiae Rutaecarpae
This herb harmonizes the Liver and Stomach. To put that into modern terms, it regulates the downward moving function of the stomach via the nervous system.

Bai Shao :白芍 white peony root, peony Paeoniae Radix alba [Pregnancy Note]
This herb also harmonizes the Liver and Stomach, but mostly focuses on calming the Liver. An upset Liver usually results in the Liver taking it out on the Stomach (in the case of heartburn) and the Spleen (in the case of lower intestinal complaints.) In either case, we can think of Bai Shao as regulating the nervous system, because nobody’s digestion likes to feel nervous

  1. This is another one of those formulas with a large dosage of a really bitter herb (huang lian). Works great for what it does of course, but it can be challenging for those who aren’t so crazy about funky tastes.

    So, if you have any doubt, be sure to order the capsules rather than the extract powder. That way you won’t have to taste it. Good news is that, although I usually say that the powders work better, because the number of herbs in this formula is so small, the capsules are pretty good too.
