The fast pace of modern life, the high pressure of work, and the poor habits of life Xi make people prone to dampness and bring a series of health problems. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness is a state in which pathological bodily fluids stagnate in the body, which can hinder the flow of qi and blood and cause a series of discomforts. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen is one of the important ways to regulate dampness. In this article, we will introduce 4 Chinese patent medicines to help sweep away dampness and restore health.
First of all, let's take a look at the theory of Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main drain, and the spleen is the main transport. Liver dysfunction can lead to stagnation of moisture, while poor spleen movement can lead to the accumulation of moisture in the body. Therefore, soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen is one of the important ways to regulate dampness.
One commonly used Chinese patent medicine is Xiao Yao San. Xiaoyaosan is composed of Atractylodes, Atractylodes, Tangerine Peel and Poria Cocos. Among them, Atractylodes atractylodes and Atractylodes both have the effect of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen. Atractylodes atractylodes can relieve the liver and regulate qi, relieve depression and dampness, and eliminate dampness;Atractylodes atractylodes can strengthen the spleen and promote qi, dispel dampness and stop diarrhea. Tangerine peel can relieve the liver and regulate qi, strengthen the spleen and dissolve dampness, while Poria cocos has the effect of infiltrating dampness and strengthening the spleen. The four Chinese patent medicines in Xiaoyaosan work together to comprehensively regulate the liver and strengthen the spleen, thereby assisting in the discharge of dampness, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating dampness symptoms.
In addition to Xiaoyaosan, Qing Lung San is also a commonly used Chinese patent medicine. Qinglung San is composed of skullcap and bitter almonds. Skullcap can soothe the liver and relieve fire, clear heat and detoxify, and bitter almond has the effect of promoting the lungs and relieving cough.

In addition, Si Zhi San is also a kind of Chinese patent medicine that soothes the liver and strengthens the spleen. The four inverse dispersions are composed of Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron cork and Yellow Rhubarb. Coptis chinensis can soothe the liver and relieve fire, calm the stomach and dampness;Both skullcap and cork have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying;Yellow rhubarb has the effect of benefiting the small intestine and dissolving external dampness. The four flavors of Chinese patent medicine in the Four Reverse Scatters cooperate with each other to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, and eliminate the discomfort caused by dampness.
Finally, there is also a Chinese patent medicine, Qin Gangsan, which is composed of Qin Gang, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, Peilan, Cinnamon and Burdock Seeds. Qin Gengsan not only has the effect of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, but also can dissipate dampness and cold, and dispel cold and dampness in the body.
