Description:

The most effective formula for acute attacks on the body by a harmful substance of the nature of damp heat or damp cold (especially in summer), which manifest in the body as turbid dampness or damp heat again, for example after an attack of summer heat. Typical symptoms include increased temperature or fever alternating with chills and shivering, headaches, especially in the forehead, and muscle aches. The noxious substance that has entered the middle radiator there causes stagnation and disturbs the proper mechanism of Qi: the Qi of the Stomach, instead of going down, begins to rise, which manifests itself in a feeling of nausea or vomiting, and the Qi of the Spleen, instead of going up, goes down with the turbid Qi, causing mushy stools or diarrhea. All of this can also be accompanied by bloating, pain and cramps in the abdomen. Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Pian is therefore used in modern terms for acute gastroenteritis (acute inflammation of the Stomach and Intestines), food poisoning and infections associated with the so-called "intestinal flu". It can also be used for kinetosis (nausea and vomiting after excessive movement or travel by transport), after overeating with subsequent stagnation of food in the stomach or after excessive alcohol consumption.

The imperial herb in the blend is agastache wrinkled, which clears the turbid dampness and at the same time harmonizes the Stomach and Spleen. It is excellent for stopping vomiting and soothing the Stomach. The areca palm and perilla are excellent in helping her do this. The other herbs in the recipe work with the dampness and mucus, transforming and expelling them in various ways, and also fortifying the Spleen.
