Explanation
This is a very important formula to tonify Spleen and Heart. The formula tonifies both Qi and Blood of the Spleen and Heart and its clinical manifestations reflect both Qi and Blood deficiency. In long-standing cases of Blood deficiency, there may also be some Empty-Heat arising from it.
Since there is both Qi and Blood deficiency, one should evaluate whether Blood deficiency predominates or if Qi deficiency predominates.
