  • Tonifies Defensive Qi (Wei Qi)
  • Tonifies Lung Qi
  • Consolidates the Exterior & stabilizes the Defensive Qi Level

Formula Origin

No origin information available for this formula.

Formula Description

This formula tonifies Qi at multiple levels (Spleen, Lung, Kidney, Wei Qi), nourishes Yin to provide substance, mildly warms Yang to support defensive function, and astringes to consolidate gains. The addition of Dan Shen ensures Blood moves freely despite all the supplementation.

This is a well-constructed formula that balances Qi tonification with Yin nourishment, prevents Stagnation, and consolidates the Exterior. It addresses immune Deficiency comprehensively rather than one-dimensionally.
