Explanation
This formula combines the two classical formulae Gui Zhi Tang (Ramulus Cinnamomi Decoction) and Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Windscreen Powder).
- Gui Zhi Tang harmonizes Ying and Wei and regulates the Cou Li space where Wei Qi circulates
- In combination with the second formula Yu Ping Feng San, which tonifies Qi, this “firms” the Cou Li space preventing invasions of Wind
- Several digestive herbs (Shen Qu, Lai Fu Zi, Shan Zha, Gu Ya) were added as most children have a weak Spleen, the younger they are, the weaker
