Description
Si Jun Zi Tang is the base for many formulas. We offer two versions- one with Dang Shen and one with Ren Shen.ย
I would suggest the Dang Shen as most Westerners tolerate it better than Ren Shen which can make people “stuffy”. Although Spleen Qi deficiency is a common diagnosis and is associated with tiredness I would warn people against using Si Jun Zi Tang for “tiredness” without some more questioning. Often tiredness is caused by stagnation of damp and phlegm (among other many things) and Si Jun Zi Tang can make it worse. Actually I would look at the more complex Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang for most people. Liu Jun Zi Tang is a more complex formula that Si Jun Zi Tang and Xiang Sha is even more gently tonifying.ย
Si Jun Zi Tang is a common first formula for tonifying the Spleen and Stomach Qi.ย
