    Combinaciones

    • Weakness and lassitude from Spleen-Stomach Deficiency.

    • External Wind-Cold: it eases epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting by fortifying the Spleen, regulates Ying and Wei for Tai Yang Zhong Feng, keeps tonics from generating Middle Jiao Dampness, prevents Phlegm from accumulating, nourishes the Blood while guarding against injury from harsh Blood-moving herbs, aids Qi movement, and improves digestion and absorption of other Qi- and Blood-tonifying herbs.

    • Excessive spontaneous sweating in debilitated patients.

    • Deficiency of Nutritive Qi and Blood.

    • Restless-organ (dry-organ) disorder.

    • Diarrhea and poor appetite from Cold and Dampness in the Spleen and Stomach.

    • Marked Blood Deficiency accompanied by irritability and insomnia.

    • Coughing, wheezing and chest fullness from Phlegm accumulating in the chest.

    • Dry-organ disorder accompanied by Shen disturbance.

    Notas

    • Added to harsh purgatives like Sm. Daphne Genkwa (Yuan Hua) and Rx. Euphorbiae Kansui (Gan Sui), it can somewhat soften their violent action and protect the Spleen and Stomach from injury.
    • It is included in formulas heavy with acrid or bitter herbs to temper their harshness.
    • It offsets Ginger's drying tendency.
    • Used alone, it can address Blood Deficiency.
    • It is reputed to dissolve hypochondriac lumps.
    • It suppresses cancer-cell growth, an effect that scales closely with dosage — the higher the dose, the stronger the result.
    • It is said to treat cough, sore throat, blood-streaked sputum from chronic illness, septicemia, urinary tract infection and stranguria.
    • It boosts stamina and supports Liver recovery after toxic exposure.
    • Red Date (Hong Zao) has a more cooling nature.
    • Da Zao governs pathogenic Qi affecting the Heart and abdomen, calms the middle, nourishes the Spleen, opens the twelve channels and nine orifices, tonifies Qi and fluid deficiency along with any general insufficiency of the body, relieves marked jitteriness and heaviness of the limbs, and harmonizes the hundred medicinals.
    • Da Zao, Rz. Dioscoreae (Shan Yao) and Rz. Atractylodis Macrocephalae (Bai Zhu) all tonify Qi. Bai Zhu is drying and lacks a moistening quality; Shan Yao is neutral and tonifies Spleen Yin; Da Zao tonifies both Qi and Blood within the Spleen and Stomach.
    • Da Zao and Arillus Longan (Long Yan Rou) share a sweet, warm nature, both augmenting Qi and Blood, tonifying the Spleen and Stomach, and calming the Spirit. Da Zao calms the Spirit less strongly but is better at moderating the harshness of other herbs so they do not injure the Spleen. Long Yan Rou, being sweeter and warmer, benefits the Spleen more and is more moistening — tonifying Blood more than Qi — and it calms the Spirit, uplifts the emotions and enriches the Heart more effectively.
