Description | Tonifies Qi, strengthens Spleen* Four Gentlemen is the quintessential formula to address Qi and Spleen Qi deficiency. Spleen Qi acts as the foundation for postnatal Qi in the body and is responsible for extracting the essence from food, or Gu Qi, and transporting it to the rest of the body. When Spleen is strong, the essence of food is properly transformed into Qi to supply energy to the body, and to build Blood. The Spleen is also responsible for the raising of Qi, and its deficiency is reflected in occasional sensations of heaviness in the body, or occasional loose stools. Typically, patterns involving Spleen Qi deficiency are precipitated by increased activity and improve with rest. As the Spleen controls the Blood, muscles, and four limbs, when Spleen is strong, Blood is supported in the vessels, muscles have tenacity, and the four limbs have appropriate strength. Excessive regular consumption of cold liquids are weakening to the Spleen, leading to occasional lack of appetite and the generation of internal Dampness. External Dampness due to climate are likely to contribute to internal Dampness, which will contribute to Spleen Qi deficiency. Overwork, excessive worries or a poor diet can all aggravate or cause Spleen Qi deficiency. When Spleen is deficient, occasional loose stools, a lack of appetite, or occasional weak limbs can be experienced.
Poria strengthens the Spleen, drains Dampness, and mitigates the cloying nature of honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome, which strengthens the Spleen and harmonizes the actions of the other three herbs. Four Gentlemen can be given on its own for basic signs of Qi deficiency, or given in combination with any formula where the Spleen needs further support or protection.
