Many people think that Gui Pi Wan is just a simple supplement for qi and blood, but in fact, if used appropriately, its capabilities are quite significant, able to address many deficiency syndromes. Today, I'll share with you 3 classic combinations of Gui Pi Wan to help replenish the deficiencies in your body.

Bu Pi Wan + Gui Fu Di Huang Wan: Tonifying Heart, Spleen, and Kidney Together, Dispelling Cold Pathogens

Some people not only have poor appetite but also experience bloating and acid reflux after eating, along with insomnia and forgetfulness at night, struggling to remember things. Additionally, they feel extremely cold, with icy hands and feet, and need to get up several times at night to urinate. From a TCM perspective, this is a combination of heart-spleen deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.

The heart governs blood vessels and the mind, while the spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of qi and blood generation. When the heart and spleen are deficient, qi and blood become insufficient, and the body lacks adequate nourishment, leading to issues with appetite and sleep. The kidney yang acts like a small sun within the body, warming it, and when kidney yang is deficient, the body feels cold and night urination increases.

At this point, combining Guipi Wan with Guifuzhihuang Wan is quite suitable. Guipi Wan can invigorate the spleen, nourish the heart, and replenish qi and blood, regulating the functions of the heart and spleen to ensure ample qi and blood. Guifuzhihuang Wan, on the other hand, is a classic formula for warming the kidneys and replenishing yang, capable of replenishing the body's yang and dispelling cold pathogens. When these two herbs are used together, the heart, spleen, and kidneys are all taken care of, and the body's discomforts will naturally improve over time.

Bu Pi Wan + Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan: Tonifying Qi and Blood, and Kidney Essence, Delaying Premature Aging

In traditional Chinese medicine, there's a saying called "essence and blood share the same origin." Essence and blood are like close siblings, mutually influencing each other. The spleen is responsible for transforming the food we eat into qi and blood. If the spleen is weak, the production of qi and blood will be insufficient, making it impossible to nourish the kidney essence promptly.

Kidney essence is a treasure of the body, governing human growth, development, and reproductive functions. If the kidney essence is deficient, it's common to experience soreness in the lower back and knees, feeling exhausted after walking a short distance; hair may turn white prematurely, making one appear older than their peers; sexual function may also decline, and the person may feel generally lacking in energy.

Guipi Wan can regulate the spleen, ensuring a source for the production of qi and blood. Wuzi Yanzong Wan is an excellent formula for replenishing kidney essence, with herbs like goji berries and prepared Tribulus terrestris that can nourish the marrow and replenish kidney essence. When these two herbs are combined, both qi and blood and kidney essence are replenished, helping to alleviate issues of premature aging.

Bu Pi Wan + Zhi Ba Di Huang Wan: Tonifying Heart and Spleen Yin, Clearing Excess Fire

Some people always feel dry mouth and tongue, no matter how much water they drink, and feel very irritable with internal heat, with hot palms and soles, poor sleep at night, frequent dreams, and night sweats after falling asleep. Sometimes they also experience tinnitus and spermatorrhea, with yellow and small urine. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is considered as deficiency of both heart and spleen plus yin deficiency with internal heat.

Deficiency of heart and spleen leads to insufficient qi and blood, resulting in inadequate body fluids. Insufficient body fluids cannot suppress the body's yang, causing relative yang excess and generating internal heat. This internal heat rises upwards, causing dry mouth and tongue and five-palm heat; it disturbs the heart spirit, leading to insomnia and frequent dreams and night sweats; it disturbs the lower body, causing tinnitus, spermatorrhea, and short, yellow urine.

Gui Pi Wan nourishes the heart and strengthens the spleen, replenishing qi and blood. Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan is a classic formula for nourishing yin and reducing heat, with Anemarrhena and Coptis chinensis clearing internal heat and Rehmannia, Cornus officinalis, etc., nourishing kidney yin. When these two herbs are used together, they can both replenish the body fluids of the heart and spleen and clear internal heat, gradually eliminating various discomforts in the body.

However, everyone's constitution and condition are different. It's best to consult a professional TCM practitioner before taking medication, use it reasonably according to your situation, so that the efficacy of the medicine can be maximized and the body can recover faster.
