Two Cured Decoction (Er Chen Tang)

 

Details of Two Cured Decoction

Ban Xia is the go-to herb to regulate digestive gurgling.

Ingredients:
Ban Xia 半夏 pinellia rhizome, pinellia tuber Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae
The key action of this herb is drying dampness. To put that into familiar terms, it promotes the healthy functions of the stomach. Healthy stomach functions mean less gurgling and nausea.

Fu Ling 茯苓 sclerotium of tuckahoe, China root, hoelen, Indian bread Poria Cocos
Fu ling dries like Ban Xia, but also calms the spirit. Doesn’t make you sleepy or anything, just calm.

Ju Hong 橘紅 tangerine flavedo, red tangerine peel Pc. Citris
Another drying herb, but this one also promotes qi movement which can be thought of as regulating the part of stomach functions that require the help of the nervous system.

Zhi Gan Cao 炙甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae prep.
Honey friend licorice root. Mmm! This herb actually nourishes and moistens. The other herbs are very drying, this herb prevents them from being *too* drying and causing constipation.
