The use of the recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:

-removes moisture from the lower radiator and stops discharge

Description:

A relatively modern 19th century formula designed to treat gynecological discharge caused by deficiency of the Spleen (digestive complex) and stagnation in the Liver, which can attack the weakened Spleen. This leads to the formation and accumulation of dampness, which because it is "heavy", falls down and accumulates in the area of the lower radiator, where it manifests itself in women with a white to whitish-yellow discharge without any pronounced burning or odor, precisely because there is no heat or infection present yet. The woman shows other symptoms of Spleen deficiency: she is pale in complexion, tired to lethargic, and may also have indigestion and mushy stools.

The blend contains herbs to replenish the Spleen Qi and strengthen it, others to transform and remove dampness - thus removing the dampness already present and preventing it from forming again. Peony and Prostrate soothe and clear the Liver, Schizonepeta stops discharge.
