Main Actions

  • Directs rebellious Qi downward
  • Stops hiccup
  • Augments Qi
  • Clears heat

Formula Origin

220 AD (Essentials from the Golden Cabinet)

Formula Description

Ju Pi Zhu Ru Tang is a 6-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi) and Bamboo Shavings (Zhu Ru) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in Essentials from the Golden Cabinet, it belongs to the category of formulas for a rebellious Qi. Its main actions are: 1) directs rebellious Qi downward and 2) stops hiccup.

 

In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.

 

In this case Ju Pi Zhu Ru Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Rebellious Qi or Rebellious Liver Qi invading the Stomach. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as morning sickness, incomplete pyloric obstruction or gastritis for instance.
