Origin of Gui Pi Tang* - Restore the Spleen 

Formulas To Aid The Living - JI SHENG FAN - by YANG YONG-HE,  1253 AD

Gui Pi Tang has many uses.  The Spleen regulates digestion, so the formula is sometimes used for digestive complaints.

Disharmony between the Spleen and the Heart causes sleep problems, so GUI PI Wan is often used for insomnia.  

The Spleen also supports the patency of the vessels. That's  why  GUI PI Tang is used for bleeding disorders caused by Spleen Deficiency. The use of the formula to treat bleeding was first noted about 100 years after the formula was written. When used for this purpose today, the formula is often enhanced by adding hemostatic herbs, most commonly E JIAO (ass hide glue)

Gui Pi Tang TCM Uses

  • Stops Bleeding

Tips on Drinking Chinese Herbal Decoctions

First, while cooking herbs, ventilate the kitchen. This stops the odor from deterring you (and your family). If you find the taste of your medicine disagreeable, hold your nose when you drink your herbs. This eliminates almost all the taste. Drink your herbs lukewarm or at room temperature. Hot liquids must be sipped slowly. If you hate the taste, you'll want to drink it down quickly. Cold liquids have less taste but may be hard to digest.After drinking your medicine, chew a few raisins or place a drop of lemon juice on your tongue to eliminate any aftertaste.

Herbs can be absorbed up to 30% better when taken on an empty stomach. Allow at least a half hour after taking herbs before eating or taking additional medicines. There are some exceptions. If your medicine proves difficult to digest, try taking it with food or after eating. Some doctors believe that formulas designed for the upper body should be taken after eating. Some medicines are best taken with other liquids such as wine (injuries or vascular problems), broth (to aid digestion of the herbs), or salt water (messenger to the Kidneys).

 

Gui Pi Tang Safety & Side Effects

Pregnant or nursing women should consult their health care provider before taking any supplement.  Gui Pi Tang is not effective or recommended for bleeding during pregnancy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is powerful and reliable, but it can be complex. As TCM is not based on symptoms alone, self-diagnosis and self-treatment aren't recommended. Best to start a low cost online-herbal-consultation.
