Protect the Middle (Huo Xiang Zheng Qi San), addresses digestive disharmonies that arise from an externally contracted Wind Cold Damp, combined with a pre-existing Spleen Qi deficiency with Dampness.
Patchouli herb, the chief herb in Protect the Middle both transforms Damp and expels Wind Cold Damp invasions. Ginger cured Pinellia rhizome, Magnolia bark and Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit restore the normal descent of Qi to relieve occasional vomiting and abdominal discomfort. Perilla leaf and Platycodon root help expel Wind invasion. White atractylodes rhizome, Poria, Ginger rhizome, Red jujube fruit and Chinese licorice root and rhizome tonify the Spleen and Stomach to make them more resistant to invasion and bolster their digestive functions. A small amount of Chinese rhubarb rhizome and root is added to promote normal descent of digestive Qi and to relieve occasional bloat. Protect the Middle is rich in aromatic herbs to support healthy digestive functions.
