Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: This is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbal mixtures today, also known under the name DAN ZHI XIAO YAO WAN. It has a very broad range of action and possibilities of use. It is used to level the energy between the liver and the spleen, literally to balance out their relationship. This imbalance is caused in two ways:
1. If liver qi stagnates GAN QI ZHI, it suppresses, as a secondary effect, spleen and stomach qi GAN YU PI XU, which cannot then produce sufficient qi energy and blood QI/XUE XU.

2. If kidney qi is weak PI QI XU and does not produce sufficient blood XUE, liver blood is also weak and stagnating (and after some time changes into internal heat RE); at the same time, liver qi gets in a state relative abundance and suppresses the spleen… Both cases create the feeling of a vicious circle which needs to be cut by harmonizing (adjusting and fine-tuning) both sides of the barricade. This herbal mixture is a variant of the herbal mixture Harmony of Magic Change (code 063), but in comparison provides more strength, feeds the middle burner (spleen and stomach) and provides for lower dispersion of the stagnating liver qi.

Most often this imbalance is manifested by diverse and unclear difficulties such as feeling of pressure and tightening on the chest, pain and pressure under the ribs, pain and tension in the abdomen, hiccups, frequent sighing, thinner stools and nausea. In terms of gynaecology, its symptoms include premenstrual syndrome (breast tension, irritability or depression before menstruation), painful menstruation, irregular menstruation, cysts and fibromas in the breasts, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, gynaecological discharge and inflammations, infertility in women, climacteric problems. Other non-specific symptoms also appear, such as fatigue, somnolence, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, etc. In case of internal heat RE (due to emotions, stress, excess of work…), other symptoms appear, including irritability, internal agitation, feeling of internal heat, night sweating, restless sleep, reddish cheeks, red eyes, dry mouth and throat, bitterness in the mouth, etc. Today these problems and diseases are often evaluated by Western doctors as “psychosomatic problems”. For hypertension, for example, it is combined with the herbal mixture Loosening of Strained Bowstring (code 112), for premenstrual syndrome with the herbal mixture Softness of Heavenly Fay (code 052), for problems in the menopause with the herbal mixture Fresh Evening Pagoda (code 185), for glaucoma, optic nerve atrophy, acute retrobulbar neuralgia (inflammation of the optic nerve) or inflammation of the cornea with the herbal mixture Shine of Jade Jewel (code 182), etc.
