Main Actions

  • Tonifies the Spleen
  • Softens the Liver
  • Expels Dampness
  • Stops diarrhea

Formula Origin

Essential Teachings of [Zhu] Dan-Xi (1481 AD)

Formula Description

Tong Xie Yao Fang is a 4-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Atractylodes Rhizomes (Bai Zhu) and White Peony Roots (Bai Shao) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1481 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that harmonize Liver-Spleen. Its main actions are: 1) tonifies the Spleen and 2) softens the Liver.

 

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 Tong Xie Yao Fang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Rebellious Liver Qi invading the Spleen. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as colitis or ingestion in children for instance.
