Ingredients:

Tian Ma :天麻 gastrodia rhizome Rhizoma Gastrodiae Elatae

• This herb “extinguishes internal wind”. Internal wind is stress induced neurological problems such as headaches and muscle spasms.

Ban Xia :半夏 pinellia rhizome, pinellia tuber Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae [Pregnancy Note]

• This herb dries the excessive fluids in the Stomach. This is where phlegm comes from initially. When phlegm is kicked up by internal wind, it can cause dizziness and vertigo.

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

• Another anti-phlegm herb that also strengthens the digestion to prevent the creation of additional phlegm.

Da Zao :大棗 jujube, Chinese date Jujubae Fructus
Sheng Jiang :生薑 fresh ginger rhizome Zingiberis Rhizoma
Gan Cao :甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae [caution]

• The three herbs described above are known in American Chinese medicine schools as “the three candies”. They’re often used together. Date, licorice and ginger and are delicious like candy, but they’re also really good at waking up the Stomach so that it doesn’t generate any more dampness.

Ju Hong :橘紅 tangerine flavedo, red tangerine peel Pc. Citris

• This is the more potent portion of an herb that shows up in a few formulas here at EagleHerbs called chen pi, or tangerine peel. The entire peel includes the oil-filled superficial skin, plus some of the white rind beneath. however, Ju Hong is only the oil-filled superficial skin making it even more potent at drying the excessive fluids in the stomach that serve as a precurser to the phlegm that causes the dizziness this formula addresses.

Fu Ling :茯苓 sclerotium of tuckahoe, China root, hoelen, Indian bread Poria Cocos

• Another herb for excess fluids, but it doesn’t directly dry them as much as “leech them out” through the urinary tract. So, it is a mild diuretic. It also has a gentle calming effect.

This formula can be used to support health with or without symptoms. If symptoms are present, take 1 level teaspoon of the powder (8 capsules) three times daily. When symptoms are not present, take 1/2 level teaspoon (4 capsules), two times daily. Empty stomach is best for efficient absorption, but not essential. [More...]
