Exploring Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang: Elevating Digestion Through Ginseng & Astragalus

Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, known as Ginseng & Astragalus Combination or "Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction", is an effective herbal formula used to fortify the Spleen and Stomach meridians and boost digestive function. At the heart of Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang lies a harmonious blend of botanicals, with Ginseng and Astragalus as the chief herbs, two of its key spleen-tonifying ingredients, and a must-have in your herbal medicine cabinet.

Renowned for their tonic properties, Ren Shen (Ginseng) and Huang Qi (Astragalus) are revered in Tradtional Chinese Medicine for their ability to replenish Qi. They are vitality-support herbs that enhance immune function and restore balance to the body's energy systems, being some of the best natural energy supplements. Paired with complementary herbs such as Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) and Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel), this formula works synergistically to invigorate the Spleen, lift the Qi, and harmonize the middle burner.

Main Functions of this Formula
