Spleen-Stomach Strengthening

This blend helps eliminate moisture and strengthen the spleen, while harmonizing the kidneys. The five ingredients it contains are:

• Job’s tears (Yi Yi Ren)
• Chinese yam (Shan Yao)
• Azuki beans (Chi Xiao Dou)
• Fuling mushroom (Pachyme)
• Euryale seed (Qian Shi)

Each ingredient has been steamed three times, sun-dried three times, and then sautéed with wheat bran.

Sautéing with wheat bran (Fu Chao) is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that strengthens the actions on the spleen and stomach (protects the stomach, nourishes the spleen, and harmonizes the spleen-stomach relationship).

Indications

• Eliminates dampness: cough with phlegm, stools with mucus
• Strengthens digestion by tonifying the spleen and stomach
• General fatigue
• Feeling of heaviness in the body
• Loose, sticky stools

Preparation

250ml of water for 1 tablespoon of the mixture (1L of water for 4 tablespoons of the mixture)

Once the ingredients have been prepared, the mixture can be made:

As an infusion: cover the cup or container and leave to infuse for 10 minutes (can be infused several times).
As a very short decoction for 5 minutes (the same ingredients can be used for a second decoction). Cover the container, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
