About This Formula
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi and Blood are deeply interdependent: Qi keeps the body energized and moving, while Blood nourishes and anchors it. When both run low — often after illness, overwork, childbirth, or significant blood loss — the result can be lasting fatigue, a pale complexion, dizziness, and a general sense of being run down.
Ba Zhen Tang combines two foundational formulas, the Four Gentlemen (a Qi tonic) and the Four Substances (a Blood tonic), into a single balanced remedy. It is traditionally chosen to rebuild reserves gradually while supporting digestion, so the body can generate its own Qi and Blood. The most appropriate formula always depends on an individual’s TCM pattern, which the quick screening below helps confirm.
