Black Pearl Ginseng and Astragalus Combination pill 40g

The formula, developed by Li Gao (a.k.a. Li Dong-yuan), was originally described in the context of the treatment of febrile illness due to Qi deficiency. It was also used for the basic syndrome of Spleen and Stomach Qi deficiency, from which a wide variety of disorders may arise . Li discovered that by using low doses of acrid Exterior-releasing (exogenous Wind-dispelling) herbs ‐ which have an ascending-floating direction of action ‐ along with Spleen Qi tonifying herbs (particularly those with an ascending direction of action) the normal ascending Qi movement of the middle Jiao, and hence of the whole body, may be restored. In this way, the formula restores Spleen Qi deficiency with sinking of the Yang Qi by tonifying the Spleen and Stomach to promote the normal ascending movement of their Yang Qi.
