Explanation
Smooth Passage™ is a formula aimed at addressing disharmony of Spleen and Liver. Its main therapeutic aim is to tonify and move Qi and resolve Dampness in the Intestines.
It therefore addresses the main patterns of Spleen-Qi deficiency, Liver-Qi stagnation, and Dampness in the Intestines, which may, over time, transform into Damp-Heat.
The formula is particularly suited to cases where Qi stagnation and Spleen deficiency lead to the accumulation of Dampness, with possible secondary Heat manifesting in the Intestines.
- Bai Zhu promotes the movement and transportation of Spleen-Qi
- Fu Ling and Huang Bai resolve Dampness from the Lower Burner
- Chuan Mu Xiang, Xiang Fu and Zhi Ke move Qi and relieve stagnation
- Ku Shen and Bai Tou Weng clear Damp-Heat and resolve Toxic Heat in the Intestines
- Shen Qu aids digestion and supports the Spleen
The formula also addresses Damp-Heat in the Intestines when arising from prolonged Qi stagnation, but is not indicated for Cold-Damp or Yang-deficient conditions.
