Heaven and earth must be harmonious in yin and yang, so that the wind and rain will be smooth, and the grain will be abundant.
The human body must balance qi and blood, in order to be energetic and inviolable.
Man has qi and blood, just as the heavens and the earth have clouds and rain. The qi around the body is clear and not stagnant, the blood is alive and not stasis, the qi is alive and bloody, and the disease is not removed!
If there is a problem with qi and blood, it will inevitably lead to dysfunction of the internal organs, one will be panicked, one will be short of breath, poor resistance, serious illness and small diseases, and even aging and death.
Although the human body is complex, there are only two fundamental things: one is qi and the other is blood. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic: "The owner of man, blood and qi ears." "Qi and blood are the foundation of life, and qi and blood are the source of life.
Qi and blood are all substances in human life activities. The internal organs of the human body, the meridians of the bones, and even the hair and skin must rely on the nourishment of qi and blood, without which there is no life.

The so-called no one is perfect, the gold is not perfect, and the Chinese medicine formula is the same, which can be named with ten perfections, which can see how comprehensive and perfect this formula is.
Let's take a closer look at the composition of this square.
First of all, this square is based on the eight treasures of soup, added, astragalus and cinnamon, then the eight treasures of soup is composed of the four things soup of the first party of the ancient blood replenishment, and the four gentlemen of the first party of the ancient tonic qi, a total of 10 flavor medicines.

It can be called a good medicine for blood, an essential product for nourishing blood, and a medicine that must be used by blood families.
White peony is slightly cold, taste bitter acid, into the liver, spleen two meridians, has the effect of astringent blood, soft liver nourishing blood. White peony can reduce blood dissipation through convergence, white peony soft liver can better nourish blood, liver like soft and afraid of hard.
Ripe ground; is the root of ground yellow, ground yellow root system is developed, can be deeply rooted in the ground, absorb the essence of the earth, so it is also called "ground marrow", ground yellow after concocted is called cooked yellow.
Cooked warm, sweet taste, into the liver and kidneys of the second meridian; liver blood, kidney essence, sperm homology, tonic liver and kidney, filling lean pulp is an important method to treat congenital deficiency, physical weakness.
Looking at the first three herbs of Siwu Soup are some big sperm blood medicines, but also take into account the liver and kidneys, will it cause excessive and congestion if so much blood is added?
Just like the commuting time, the crowd is crowded, causing the road congestion, so it is also necessary to blindly activate the blood medicine, which is Sichuan root.
Sichuan qian is warm and spicy, the most good at channeling, both can activate blood, but also can perform qi, but also pain relief, known as "blood in the qi medicine" Sichuan qian, upward leader, downward blood sea, side open depressed knot, walking power is very strong, can be useless blood, dead blood, stasis away, let the new blood rebirth, nourish the whole body.

Four Gentlemen's Soup: Composed of ginseng, baishu, poria, licorice, and four herbs.
Ginseng, everyone knows that this is a good medicine, a big tonic, not a small supplement, but a big supplement, a single ginseng soup composed of a medicine, there is a Yang rescue effect, it can be seen that the function of tonic qi is strong.

White surgical warmth, sweet taste, into the spleen, stomach two meridians, tonic temper, tonic qi, with a healthy spleen, dry and wet water, is the best spleen medicine.
"The spleen is the foundation of the acquired nature, the source of qi and blood biochemistry", everything that the human body wants to maintain its life needs to be ingested by the acquired diet, and then through the spleen and stomach transport, the generation of qi and blood, nourishing the whole body, if there is no acquired involvement, life will not be able to maintain.
The main muscles of the spleen, all the fatigue and fatigue, the weakness of the limbs, the lack of qi, and the weakness of qi are all the main muscles of the spleen.
Poria is flat, light taste, into the heart, lungs, spleen, kidney meridian, the main effect is to benefit water seepage, healthy spleen tonic, calm the mind, can dispel dampness and evil, but also can support the right qi, and the medicinal properties are peaceful.
Light taste has a special ability, that is, wetting, can clean out the excess water and wet grease in the body, easily eliminate acne, but also can make weight loss.
The spleen likes to be dry and damp, and Poria plays a role in strengthening the spleen and replenishing the spleen through water infiltration, often used with baishu, because the effect of the second drug is multiplied.
Licorice, blended with various medicines, is a national old-class Chinese herbal medicine.
First, the taste of licorice is sweet into the spleen, which has the effect of tonifying the spleen and benefiting qi. Second, licorice can reconcile various medicines, can make the drugs with too strong medicinal properties ease up a little, and can also make the drugs and medicinal effects twist into a rope, and make them go together.
The reason why Siwei medicine is called Four Gentlemen's Soup is because its medicinal properties are peaceful, not hot or cold, and its nature is peaceful like food. Like a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, modest and elegant, both self-improvement and virtuous.
The four herbs, working together, fully practice the virtues of cultivating Middle-earth and giving birth to all things.
Finally, astragalus and cinnamon.
Astragalus has two major effects here; Chinese medicine believes that tangible blood cannot be quickly grown, and invisible qi can be quickly formed, so it is to increase the strength of qi, and the other is to replenish qi to generate blood.
Cinnamon also has two major effects, one can warm the kidney Yang, into the kidney can replenish the fire of the door, ignite the fire to return to the yuan, warm the whole body meridians, remove the cold, let the whole body warm, but it is not easy to get on the virtual fire.
The second can invigorate the heart yang, for the lack of heart yang, upset, panic, restlessness is very suitable.
The question arises; how to take it? Ten full soup, you can directly boil water to fry, you can also stew chicken, stewed duck soup, stewed bone broth, etc. boiled soup, one dose a day, taken twice or three times, you can also cook a pot of soup for the whole family to eat, the taste is still good.
