Modified Six Milled [ingredients] Decoction
Yu Jin or tumeric is becoming the darling of herbal medicine in The West. In China, it is simply one of thousands of great herbs. Alternative Names
Irritable bowel syndrome has only been identified by conventional Western medicine over the past 20 years or so. However, in Chinese medicine, the so-called “liver-spleen disharmony” has been around for much longer.
As such, there are some well developed therapeutic herbal approaches this stress-induced form of disorder.
The cause of this disorder comes down to how the nervous system responds to stress. When one is being chased by a bear, the nervous system ignores the digestion and focuses on blood flow to the limbs and muscles such that one can run away if necessary. However in modern times, while we’re not being chased by too many bears, our bodies can’t tell the difference between a threat from a carnivorous bear, and a work deadline.
As such, stress can undermine the natural regulation of intestinal peristalsis (downward movement of the contents of the Stomach and Intestines.) This is the most common cause of irritable bowel syndrome there is.

Da Fu Pi – Areca Peel
Promotes the Qi to move downward. ย Reduces stagnation thus helping with food stagnation and obstructed qi such as abdominal distention, belching, acid regurgitation and constipation.
(Bing Lang ๆชณๆฆ betel nut; areca seed; areaca Semen Arecae Catechu [use caution if pregnant ] ย is used traditionally but isย NOT available in our formula. Instead we have substituted Da Fu Pi, which is the peel of the betel nut and has much of the same actions.ย Bing Lang regulates the nervous system in the lower abdomen, but helps to keep the intestines moving too as a gentle treatment for constipation which can arise along with discomfort in the lower back or abdomen .) Unfortunately, becauseย Betel Nut can be used recreationally it has been banned from import. Our substitution is Da Fu Pi (the shell of Bing Lang) and has many of the same actions.
