Licorice Xiexin Decoction
Concept: The formula uses licorice to boost the stomach and spleen, revitalizing vital energy and blood circulation. Ingredients like Huang Lian and Huang Qin help cool and dry internal heat and moisture, preventing damage to the digestive system. Ban Xia and Gan Jiang work to eliminate internal heat and ensure smooth energy flow. Ren Shen and Da Zao further enhance energy and work alongside licorice to strengthen the body’s natural defenses against illness. Together, these ingredients work harmoniously to expel heat gently without disturbing the body’s natural balance.
