Ren shen (ginseng) strengthens multiple organ systems.

What’s it mean to “regulate the middle”? In Chinese medical theory, they break the abdomen and all its internal organs into thirds. The middle third is associated with the digestive organs and functions. So, regulating the middle means that this formula targets cold digestion with warm herbs that awaken the digestion and eliminate spastic pain aggravated by cold food or weather.

Gan Jiang :乾姜 dried ginger rhizome Zingiberis Rhizoma [Pregnancy Note]

  • Warming the middle, this spicy dried ginger makes you feel all warm inside. This is especially welcome when cold food or weather causes extremely painful abdominal cramps.

Ren Shen :人蔘 ginseng root Radix Panax Ginseng

  • Strengthening the functions of the digestion, ginseng is world famous for its improvement of the functions of just about every organ in the body. It does however have a special love for the digestion.

Bai Zhu :白术 , bai shu ovate atractylodes, (white) atractylodes rhizome [Pregnancy Note]

  • When the “middle” isn’t working right, the outcome is dampness. Dampness is like saying that there’s too much fluids in the Stomach and Intestines. This herb helps to dry up that dampness that is presumed to be there in the wake of cold in the “middle”.

Gan Cao :甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae [caution]

  • Licorice root is added to many Chinese herbal formulas in order to harmonize the ingredients. Gan cao translates to “sweet herb” and like the addition of a sweet person in a room full of opinionated people this herb’s sweetness helps everybody just get along.
