Ba Zhen Tang

Ba Zhen Tang from Empirical Health is a classical Chinese herbal formula powder, based on the traditional Ba Zhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction), originating from the Ming Dynasty text Zheng Zhi Zhun Sheng (~1602 AD) as an elegant combination of Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction).

This foundational formula tonifies both Qi and Blood, strengthens the Spleen, nourishes the Heart and Liver, and promotes overall vitality. In modern Western terms, it supports healthy energy production and red blood cell function, helps maintain balanced circulation and tissue nourishment, promotes normal immune and stress responses, and assists with recovery from depletion—making it particularly useful for patterns of dual Qi and Blood deficiency, such as persistent fatigue, pale or sallow complexion, shortness of breath on mild exertion, light-headedness or dizziness, poor concentration or memory, palpitations, mild anxiety or restlessness, scanty or delayed menstruation, weak limbs, reduced appetite, or slow healing/recovery after illness, childbirth, blood loss, or prolonged stress.

Key Ingredients (classical composition):

• Ren Shen (Ginseng Root) – strongly tonifies Qi and supports vitality.
• Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) – strengthens the Spleen and dries dampness.
• Fu Ling (Poria) – drains dampness and harmonizes the middle jiao.
• Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice) – harmonizes and mildly tonifies.
• Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) – nourishes Blood and Yin, replenishes essence.
• Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica Root) – nourishes and invigorates Blood.
• Bai Shao (White Peony Root) – nourishes Blood and softens the Liver.
• Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) – invigorates Blood and moves Qi.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal tightly after opening.
