 Giovanni Maciocia (1945 – 2018) was a highly respected author,
lecturer and practitioner of Chinese medicine. He trained in
England at the International College of Oriental Medicine
graduating in acupuncture in 1974 after a three-year course.
He went on to study Western herbalism and graduated from
the National Institute of Medical Herbalists in 1977. He attended
three postgraduate courses in acupuncture (1980, 1982, 1987)
at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of
the foremost teaching institutions in China, where he was later
appointed Visiting Professor in 1996. There he gained invaluable
knowledge and clinical experience helped by his ability to read
Chinese which gave him access to Chinese medicine textbooks,
old and modern.
In 1994 he founded Su Wen Herbs, a company which oversees the production of his line of
herbal formulas under three lines: The Three Treasures®, Women’s Treasure®, and The Little
Treasures®. The formulas are based on classical Chinese formulae, adapted by Giovanni to
address patterns more commonly seen in clinical practice in the West.
Well known for his rigorous and meticulous style, he combined a thorough knowledge
of Chinese medicine with 39-years clinical experience. While firmly rooted in traditional
Chinese medicine, Giovanni’s ideas were nonetheless innovative. He adapted the theories
of Chinese medicine to better address Western conditions and Western diseases not
prevalent in ancient China. He is the author of ten books which have contributed greatly
to the diffusion of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the West:
● Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine (1987), rev. (1995)
● The Foundations of Chinese Medicine (1989), rev. (2005)
● The Practice of Chinese Medicine (1994), rev. (2007)
● Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine (1998)
● Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine (2003), rev. (2018)
● The Channels of Acupuncture (2006)
● The Psyche in Chinese Medicine (2009)
● The Energetics and Treatment of Body Areas – The Vertex (2012)
● The Energetics and Treatment of Body Areas – The Face (2012)
● Clinical Pearls (2014)

 Foreword
This catalogue has been compiled by Giovanni Maciocia® and its formulae are based
on classical Chinese ones as well as the author’s own experience. The catalogue
includes formulae aimed at addressing various patterns more commonly seen in
Western practice.

In his many years of clinical practice, Giovanni Maciocia® has flexibly applied the
theory of Chinese herbal therapy to better reflect clinical practice in the West: he has
adapted classical Chinese herbal formulae to fit clinical patterns in the West and he
has devised new formulae to address patterns that are not prevalent in China.

Good results have been achieved and such formulae have been well received by
his patients. The catalogue is intended to be a reference text for practitioners to help
them understand Chinese herbal formulae and to assist their skill in selecting the right
formula on the basis of identification of patterns.

This book and the formulae devised by Giovanni Maciocia® are to be welcomed as
a significant contribution to the development and creative adaptation of Chinese
practice to Western conditions.

 Integration of Herbal Formulae with Acupuncture
For those who practise acupuncture the integration of this treatment modality with
herbal formulae can broaden the scope of the therapeutic range and allow for
greater flexibility. The first thing that should be stressed is that, whilst in a few cases a
herbal formula fits the patient’s disharmony well and can therefore address the whole
condition, it is unrealistic to expect a herbal formula to address the whole constellation
of patterns of disharmony.

The condition of most patients will manifest with at least two patterns, and often more.
For example, it would not be unusual for a patient to suffer from Liver-Blood deficiency,
Liver-Qi stagnation, Liver-Yang rising, Spleen-Qi deficiency and Dampness in the
Middle Burner. Although two or even three formulae can be used in combination,
it is sometimes preferable to integrate acupuncture with a herbal formula. One
can therefore use a herbal formula to address a certain pattern of disharmony and
acupuncture to treat another.

The integration of acupuncture with herbal formulae is advantageous because

it allows us to use one formula only and also because it simplifies the acupuncture
protocol. Furthermore, the integration of acupuncture and herbal formulae works
particularly well if we are clear about the diagnosis, the differentiation between Root
(Ben) and Manifestation (Biao) and the treatment principle.

Root (Ben) and Manifestation (Biao)

The Root is the disharmony that is the origin of the patient’s symptoms and signs. The
Manifestation is the complex of symptoms and signs stemming from the Root: the
relationship between Root and Manifestation is very much like that between the root
of a tree and its branches: the condition of the root (and the soil) determines the
appearance of the branches. Addressing the root of a tree improves the health of its
branches: similarly, addressing the Root of a disharmony automatically addresses its
Manifestation.

The Full and Empty character of the condition

The Full and Empty character of the condition is also important and we can use
acupuncture to deal with the Full condition and a herbal formula to tonify the body
Qi or vice versa.

When I use herbal formulae only in a complex Full-Empty condition, I usually prefer to
deal with the Fullness and Emptiness separately. For example, in a case of deficiency
of Spleen-Qi and pronounced Dampness, I would most probably start with a formula
that drains Dampness such as Drain Fields and I would not give a tonic formula: this

 approach is especially recommended if the tongue and pulse indicate a Full condition:
in the example above, the tongue would be swollen and with a sticky coating and the
pulse would be full and slippery.

I prefer this approach because I feel that herbal tonics cannot work well when the
body is encumbered by Dampness or Phlegm. Obviously, the formula that expels
should be followed eventually by one that tonifies the body’s Qi, in the above example
Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles to tonify Spleen-Qi.

Acupuncture works in a different way from herbal supplements as it does not introduce
any substance in the body and has a more self-regulating and self-balancing effect:
for example, if we needle Ren-12 Zhongwan, this will tonify the Spleen and resolve
Dampness, whereas if we use Huang Lian Rhizoma Coptidis this will only dry Dampness
and not tonify the Spleen. Indeed, if we used it for a long time, its bitter-cold energy
might injure the Spleen.

Thus, because of this self-balancing character of acupuncture, we can often use a

herbal formula to expel and acupuncture to tonify the body’s Qi. For example, if a
patient suffers from stasis of Blood deriving from internal Cold and Yang deficiency, we
could use Stir Field of Elixir to invigorate Blood and eliminate stasis and acupuncture
to tonify Kidney-Yang and expel Cold (with Ren-6 Qihai, KI-3 Taixi, BL- 23 Shenshu,
with moxa); alternatively, we could use acupuncture to invigorate Blood (with SP-l0
Xuehai, BL-17 Geshu and ST-29 Guilai) and the formula Strengthen the Root to tonify
and warm Kidney-Yang.

Local problems
The use of a herbal formula often ‘frees’ the acupuncture which can become simpler
and more focused on a specific problem. For example, if a patient suffers from eczema
that is very localized in a specific area, e.g. around the scalp, we can use a formula
such as Clear Lustre to cool Blood in general; by doing this, the acupuncture is freed
from the necessity of clearing Heat and cooling Blood in general and can be more
focused on the specific area affected with the use of local points. This also allows us
to reduce the number of points used.

An example could be that of a patient with Liver- Blood deficiency. By using a formula
to nourish Blood such as Brighten the Eyes, the acupuncture can be focused on
treating the local points around the eyes. Another example could be that of a patient
displaying Bi Syndrome of one joint only, occurring against a background of Liver-
Blood deficiency; in such a case we could prescribe Brocade Sinews to nourish Liver-
Blood and expel Wind-Damp and use acupuncture simply to treat the affected joint.

 Dosage
The dosage for the Three Treasures® and Women’s Treasure® formulas is 1-3 tablets, 2-3
times a day, i.e. from 2 to 9 tablets a day. However, this dosage can be exceeded
and, in a few cases, an even lower dose may be applicable.

The Three Treasures® and Women’s Treasure® formulae are intended for use only after
consultation with a qualified practitioner. Any questions regarding the use and dosage
of the formulae should be referred to the practitioner.

It is better to start with a relatively low dose (except, of course, in very clear-cut,
acute, Full conditions), as the dose can always be increased, whereas the patient
who has a poor reaction may give up the formula altogether.

Many factors influence dosage, such as the Full or Empty character of the condition,
chronic versus acute, the state of the digestive system and others.

Tablets should not be taken at the same time as Western drugs:

at least 1 hour should elapse between the two.

The Full or Empty Character of the Condition

In Empty patterns the dosage can be lower than in Full patterns. Thus, for all the
formulae that expel factors, the dosage should be higher than for those that tonify
the body’s Qi.

Chronic vs Acute Conditions

The distinction between chronic and acute conditions is an important one. In acute
cases, the dosage should be higher. For example, if we are using Expel Wind-Heat for
a severe invasion of Wind-Heat, then the patient can take 12 or even more tablets
in 24 hours. In contrast, there is no point in targeting a chronic condition with a high
dose, because it can change only slowly. Please note that some formulae used for
chronic cases can be adapted to target acute cases.

Condition and body-build of the Patient

The weaker the patient, the lower the dose. Thus, a frail old lady should have a lower
dose than a large, corpulent man.

The condition itself

The dosage should be adjusted also according to the severity of the patients condition.
For example, the dosage of Chemo- and Radio-Support should be varied according
to the severity of the adverse reactions to chemo- or radiotherapy. For example, an

THE THREE TREASURES®, WOMEN’S TREASURE® AND LITTLE TREASURES® l suwenherbs.com 9

 average dose for these formulas might be about 4-6 tablets a day, but if the adverse
reactions to the therapy are severe this dosage can be increased.

The digestive system

The weaker the patient’s digestive system, the lower the dose. This is a very important
consideration: Western patients have weaker digestive systems than Chinese people
and are easily upset by herbal tablets (more than by decoctions). If a patient
experiences a digestive upset, make sure that he or she is taking the tablets after food
and with hot water.

Pregnancy
Herbal supplements should not be prescribed during pregnancy

Modification of dosage according to age of the patient

Old people and children need lower doses. Herbal supplements should not be given to
new born babies until after 6 months of age. Infants and children up to 6 years old should
have a third of a dose; children between 6 and 14 half a dose; after that, a full dose.

Taking more than one herbal supplement

If two or three different formulae are combined, it is advisable to reduce their
individual dosage accordingly and take them at different times. I generally do not use

 more than three formulas at a time. For example, if one combines Ease the Journey
– Yin® with Ease the Journey – Yang®, the former is best taken in the evening and the
latter in the morning. In such cases, the dosage should be adjusted according to the
therapeutic aim: for example, if deficiency of Yin predominates, the dosage of Ease
the Journey – Yin® should be double that of Ease the Journey – Yang®.

Another example could be the combination of Brighten the Eyes to nourish Liver-
Blood and Freeing the Moon® to move Qi and pacify the Liver in premenstrual
tension. If deficiency of Liver-Blood predominates, the dosage of Brighten the Eyes
should be double that of Freeing the Moon®, and vice versa if stagnation of Liver-Qi
predominates. As for the time of administration, Brighten the Eyes could be taken in
the morning and Freeing the Moon® in the afternoon.

Herbal supplements and liver disease

Finally, a word of warning about liver disease. If a patient is known to be infected
with the hepatitis virus (A, B or C), particular care should be exercised by using a
lower dosage than normal. In such cases, it is strongly advisable to ask the patient
to undergo a liver-function test prior to starting herbal therapy so that herbs are not
wrongly blamed for affecting the liver function negatively.

When to take herbal supplements

The tablets should generally be taken at least 1 hour before or after a meal preferably
with hot water and definitely not with tea, coffee or fruit juices. They should not be
taken at or within an hour of a meal because absorption of a compound may be
reduced if it combines with a food molecule. If possible, the tablets should not be
taken after 8-9 pm. It is preferable if the tablets are chewed before being swallowed:
however, if the patient finds them distasteful, it is acceptable to swallow them. It is
particularly desirable to chew the tablets Welcome Fragrance, Jade Screen®, Brighten
the Eyes, Bend Bamboo®, Expel Wind-Heat and Expel Wind-Cold.

Some of the formulae produce best results if taken at specific times:

● Strengthen the Root and Ease the Journey-Yang®: take a higher dose in the morning
● Nourish the Root and Ease the Journey-Yin® : take a higher dose in the evening,
and to maximize the effect take it with very slightly salted water
● Soothe the Centre: take half an hour before a meal
● Brocade Sinews: take a higher dose half an hour before breakfast
● Clear the Soul and Root the Spirit: take a higher dose in the evening
● Expel Wind-Heat and Expel Wind-Cold: take after meals, preferably with hot ginger
water
● Separate Clear and Turbid: take before meals

 Dosage of The Little Treasures® Formulas
The recommended dosage varies according to age. The values below are broken
down according to age group. Please note that the values below are only broad
guidelines: the actual dose may be higher or lower according to the condition.

If the recommended dose is three times a day, this does not necessarily need to be
given three times a day. For example, if a child is precribed 5 grams per day, he or she
can take 3 grams in the morning and 2 grams in the afternoon.

● 6 months to 1 year (do not use under 6 months): 0.5 gram once or twice a day
● 1-2 years: 1 gram once or twice a day
● 2-4 years: 2 grams once or twice a day
● 4-7 years: 2-3 grams once or twice a day
● 7-10 years: 3 grams two or three times a day

Quality Controls
The Three Treasures®, Women’s Treasure™ and Little Treasures® are made to the highest
manufacturing standards in three manufacturing facilities: two in the United States
and the third in the European Union.
For reference, the formulae contain:

● No Aristolochic acids;
● No Hydrogenated oils;
● No magnesium stearate;
● No animal products;
● No heavy metals;
● No contaminants;
● No toxic herbs or banned herbs.

The formulae are produced using only fully authenticated concentrated herbal
powders, made from raw herbs sourced from suppliers adhering to Good Agricultural
Practices (GAP) and processed in environmentally controlled facilities.

The herbs undergo strict identification protocols, for conformity and species verification,
by experienced botanists, including i) Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) identification,
which confirms herb identity by using a chemical fingerprint unique to each species,
and ii) High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), which measures potency by
substantiating the presence of active ingredients.

 The analyses must comply with monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia that
meets the latest scientific standards.

Each herbal extract undergos a stringent microbial examination (for example,

salmonella, col-bacteria and a total bacteria count), moulds and yeasts.

Gas Chromatography (GC) further ensures safety by testing for over 200 potentially
harmful substances such as pesticides, bio-burden, herbicides and fungicides. Herbs
susceptible to contamination by aflatoxins, aristolochic acid, mycotoxins, polyaromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH’s) and pyrrolizidin alkaloids (PA’s) are tested separately.

Post production microbe tests are also carried out using Method USP 2021 & 2022.

The analysis of heavy metal values (in compliance with US EPA SW-846 Method 3051)
uses a process called Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), which
is a state-of-the-art geophysical technology that ensures absolute safety of each
herbal extract, with reference to the limit values of the European pharmacopeia. This
system is sensitive to sub-parts per billion.

The manufacturing facilities in California and Oregon, United States, meet with FDA
current Good Manufacturing Practices. It benefits from state-of-the-art equipment
and is TAF and ISO certified. Advanced extraction and concentration equipment
decocts and extracts active ingredients from the herbs, using a liquid nitrogen freezing
process, to grind the herbs with
high viscosity and oil to maintain
their natural characteristics.

Our manufacturing facility in the

Netherlands, in the European Union,
meets the latest standards in terms
of production, legislation, and
certification following the quality
systems HACCP Plus, Z-GMP (this
is hospital pharmacy GMP), HKZ,
NAN (Dutch for Good Pharmacy
Practice) and FSSC22000.

All of the herbs for a single formula are decocted separately, so individual herbal
quality is optimized. The herbs undergo several further processes to create the finished
product, including: i) evaporation, ii) the re-introduction of the collected volatile oils,
iii) further concentration of the liquid extract, and finally iv) granulation, during which
the concentrate is sprayed onto starch particles of the same herbs and is vacuum-
dried at a low temperature. This takes place in a completely enclosed chamber to

 Introduction
The Three Treasures® formulas can be classified into the following categories:
● Nourishing
● Nourishing and Clearing
● Clearing
● Calming the Mind
● Releasing the Exterior

Nourishing formulas are chosen in Empty conditions; clearing formulas are chosen in Full
conditions, nourishing and clearing formulas are selected when there is a combination
of a Full and an Empty condition.

Within each category, each formula addresses the disharmony of a specific Organ.
However, the innovative aspect of the Three Treasures® line of products is that, rather
than being generic formulae (with the exception of the two formulae addressing
side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy), each one addresses a specific and
clinically common pattern within a particular organ’s sphere. For example, there is no
generic formula to nourish Qi and Blood (e.g. Ba Zhen Tang Eight Precious Pill), but there
are specific formulae which affect Liver-Blood either by nourishing it or by combining
its nourishing with some elimination for specific clinical situations.

These are:
● Liver-Blood deficiency giving rise to Liver-Yang rising (Bend Bamboo®)
● Deficient Liver-Blood not nourishing the eyes (Brighten the Eyes™)
● Deficient Liver-Blood not nourishing the sinews (Brocade Sinews™)
● Liver-Blood deficiency associated with Liver-Qi stagnation (Freeing the Moon®)
● Liver-Blood deficiency in skin conditions (Glorious Sea™)
● Liver-Blood deficiency leading to insomnia (Root the Spirit and Nourish the Soul™)
● Liver-Blood deficiency resulting from radiotherapy (Radio-Support™).

Thus, the clinical application process for the Three Treasures® line is somewhat different
from that for generic tonic formulae. It relies on the practitioner making a fundamental
differentiation between the need to tonify only, the need to clear only, or the need to
tonify and clear simultaneously. We can represent the different diagnostic processes
that lead to the choice of a formula (in this example for Liver-Blood deficiency) with
Figures 2 and 3:

Similarly, Spleen-Qi deficiency hardly ever occurs on its own in chronic conditions as it is
more frequently accompanied by Dampness, Damp-Heat or Qi Stagnation. Two more
diagrams can illustrate the difference between a generic formula to tonify Spleen-Qi
and the various Three Treasures® formulae to tonify Spleen-Qi. See Figures 4 and 5:

 The Formulae by Category

The following is a brief overview of each formula. Although each formula is intended
for quite specific clinical situations (e.g. Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles for Dampness
in the muscles and Qi deficiency), its use need not be limited to those situations. In
fact, each formula can be used for a very wide variety of patterns envisaged for it.

I have included at least one tongue picture for most formulae. It should be stressed
that these photographs show only the most typical tongue conditions corresponding
to the relevant formula, but they are by no means the only ones. In other words, if a
patient’s tongue does not look exactly as the photograph in this book, it does not
necessarily mean that that particular formula is not applicable to that patient.

The following is an explanation of each formula by category:

Nourishing
The nourishing formulae tonify the vital substances of Qi, Yang, Blood or Yin and
strengthen resistance to disease.

Nourish the Root ® is a variation of Zuo Gui Wan Restoring the Left [Kidney] Pill, a
prescription to nourish Kidney-Yin. This was chosen as the main formula to nourish
Kidney-Yin as, on the basis of clinical experience, it is better suited to Western patients
than the more famous Liu Wei Di Huang Wan Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill.

Strengthen the Root™ is a variation of the You Gui Wan Restoring the Right [Kidney] Pill,
a prescription to tonify Kidney-Yang. This was chosen in preference to Jin Gui Shen Qi
Wan Golden Chest Kidney-Qi Pill as it provides a broader therapeutic range.

The two Herbal Sentinel™ formulae are designed to tonify the vital force and strengthen
the immune system. Herbal Sentinel-Yang™ tonifies Yang and Herbal Sentinel-Yin™
nourishes Yin. They are designed respectively for people of Yang or Yin constitution
respectively.

The Children’s Herbal Sentinel™ formula performs the same functions as the above
but is specifically adapted for children, bearing in mind their unique physiological
characteristics.

The formula Brighten the Eyes™ is for deficiency of Liver-Blood and Kidneys.

The formula Glorious Sea™ moistens and improves the lustre and texture of the skin
for those who show a deficiency of Liver-Blood and Kidneys. Also used to improve the
skin: while on the one hand it increases the natural fluids in the skin, on the other it also
removes excessive mucus from the skin.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are dietary (food)
supplements, as prescribed by a qualified practitioner. They are not intended to treat, prevent, diagnose or cure any disease.
Do not take if nursing or pregnant. Not intended to replace a varied diet. Not to be consumed for longer than 3 months on
a continued basis. References to internal organs have been capitalized (eg ‘Heart’ as opposed to ‘heart’) to reflect their
symbolic meaning. They are not to be interpreted in a medical or literal physiological sense.

THE THREE TREASURES®, WOMEN’S TREASURE® AND LITTLE TREASURES® l suwenherbs.com 20

 The formula Jade Spring™ nourishes Stomach, Spleen and Lung-Yin and is a variation
of Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang “Glehnia-Ophiopogon Decoction”. The condition of
Stomach- Yin deficiency is quite common in Western clinical practice and is caused
by irregular diet over many years. In particular, it is due to eating late at night, eating
in a hurry or on the run, discussing business while eating, skipping meals, going straight
back to work after eating, etc. The tongue shows this condition very clearly, being
dry, without coating (or with rootless coating) in the centre, and with a midline or
scattered Stomach cracks. Please note that ‘Spring’ in the name of this formula refers
to a water spring rather than the season of Spring.

Arouse Power™ tonifies the Kidneys and harmonizes the Heart. It is a new formula
designed specifically to harmonize Heart and Kidneys.

Breaking Clouds™ is a variation of Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang Tonifying the Centre and

Benefitting Qi Decoction. It tonifies and raises Qi.

The formula Brocade Sinews™ nourishes Liver-Blood and benefits the sinews deriving
from Liver-Blood deficiency.

The formula Central Mansion™ is a variation of Shen Ling Bai Zhu San Ginseng-Poria-
Atractylodes Powder that tonifies Qi and Yin of Stomach and Spleen and resolves
Dampness.

Harmonize the Centre™ is another variation of Shen Ling Bai Zhu San Ginseng-Poria-
Atractylodes Powder that tonifies Qi and Yin of Stomach and Spleen and resolves
Dampness but it also invigorates Blood.

Prosperous Earth™ is a variation of Liu Jun Zi Tang Six Gentlemen Decoction that
tonifies Spleen-Qi.

Nourishing and Clearing

The formulae in the nourishing and clearing category are designed to address some of
the most common patterns encountered in clinical practice. The overwhelming majority
of cases present a complex condition in which the body’s Qi is deficient and a factor
obstructs the normal functioning of Qi and Blood and the flow of Qi in the channels.

In the early stages the condition of the patient is usually characterized by fullness
of a factor. If this factor is not expelled, it will obstruct the proper movement and
transformation of Qi, eventually leading to a deficiency. As the factor is still retained, the
condition is characterized by both Fullness (of a factor) and Emptiness (of the body’s Qi).

This often starts a vicious cycle whereby the factor continues to obstruct the movement
and transformation of Qi, thus leading to a deficiency of the body’s Qi, while this in turn
contributes to the accumulation of the factor; for example, Dampness obstructs the
Spleen and this induces a deficiency of Spleen-Qi, which then leads to the formation
of more Dampness.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are dietary (food)
supplements, as prescribed by a qualified practitioner. They are not intended to treat, prevent, diagnose or cure any disease.
Do not take if nursing or pregnant. Not intended to replace a varied diet. Not to be consumed for longer than 3 months on
a continued basis. References to internal organs have been capitalized (eg ‘Heart’ as opposed to ‘heart’) to reflect their
symbolic meaning. They are not to be interpreted in a medical or literal physiological sense.

THE THREE TREASURES®, WOMEN’S TREASURE® AND LITTLE TREASURES® l suwenherbs.com 21

 How should we choose when to tonify/nourish only and when to nourish and clear
simultaneously? Apart from the symptoms, the pulse and tongue are important
gauges as to when to tonify and when to nourish and clear at the same time. If the
pulse is predominantly deficient (such as weak, empty, fine, choppy, or minute) and
the tongue does not have a thick coating (or has no coating at all), then it is probably
advisable to tonify. If the pulse is of the full type (e.g. full, wiry, slippery, overflowing,
tight) and the tongue is swollen and has a thick coating, it is probably advisable to
clear factors.

If the pulse is of the deficient type (e.g. fine) but also has a quality which indicates the
presence of a factor (e.g. slippery), it is probably advisable to tonify the body’s Qi and
clear the factors simultaneously. Similarly, if the tongue shows some deficiency (e.g.
pale), but is swollen and has a thick coating, to tonify and clear at the same time is
desirable.

Bend Bamboo® is a formula created to nourish Liver-Blood and simultaneously to

subdue Liver-Yang rising. The condition of deficient Liver-Blood leading to the rising of
Liver-Yang is extremely common in practice (especially in women) and one which is
not addressed by existing patent formulas.

Clear the Root™ is a formula aimed at tonifying Qi, nourishing the Kidneys, draining
Dampness, moving Blood, softening hardness, separating the clear from the turbid,
and resolving Toxic Heat.

Freeing the Sun™ is a variation of the classic formula Dan Zhi Xiao Yao San Moutan-
Gardenia Free and Easy Wanderer Powder which clears Liver-Heat deriving from Liver-
Qi stagnation.

Invigorate the Root™ is a variation of the classic prescription Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang
Angelica pubescens-Loranthus Decoction which tonifies Kidney-Yang and expels
Wind- Dampness. Invigorate the Root™ addresses chronic Bi syndrome from Kidney-
Yang deficiency and Wind-Dampness in the joints.

Jade Screen® is specifically designed to address the manifestations of allergic rhinitis.

Although this formula contains the classical Yu Ping Feng San Jade Windscreen
Powder, its main emphasis is not to tonify but to expel Wind and restore the diffusing
of Lung-Qi. Apart from the herbs which expel Wind and target the nose, three herbs
are included for their anti-allergy effect: Dan Shen Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae, Wu Wei
Zi Fructus Schisandrae and Wu Mei Fructus Mume.

Nourish the Root and Clear Wind™ is another formula created to address the common
clinical situation of chronic retention of Wind and Dampness in the joints against a
background of Kidney-Yin deficiency. The principle behind this formula is the same as
that for Brocade Sinews™ except that the condition addressed here is a deficiency
of Kidney-Yin rather than Liver-Blood or Liver-Yin. This formula is especially suitable for
the elderly.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are dietary (food)
supplements, as prescribed by a qualified practitioner. They are not intended to treat, prevent, diagnose or cure any disease.
Do not take if nursing or pregnant. Not intended to replace a varied diet. Not to be consumed for longer than 3 months on
a continued basis. References to internal organs have been capitalized (eg ‘Heart’ as opposed to ‘heart’) to reflect their
symbolic meaning. They are not to be interpreted in a medical or literal physiological sense.

THE THREE TREASURES®, WOMEN’S TREASURE® AND LITTLE TREASURES® l suwenherbs.com 22

 Smooth Passage™ is a new formula aimed at addressing disharmony of Spleen and
Liver. Its main therapeutic aim is to tonify and move Qi and resolve Dampness in the
Intestines.

Soothe the Centre™ is a variation of Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang Aucklandia-Amomum
Six Gentlemen Decoction. The formula aims at dealing with one of the most common
clinical conditions, i.e. deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Qi, some Stomach-Yin
deficiency, retention of Dampness in the Middle Burner, and some stagnation of Qi.

Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles™ is a variation of the ancient formula Bu Zhong Yi
Qi Tang Tonifying the Centre and Benefitting Qi Decoction. This formula has been
modified primarily to address the condition of Dampness that is seen so frequently in
these cases.

Water Passages™ is a variation of the classic prescription Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan
Anemarrhena-Phellodendron-Rehmannia Pill that nourishes Kidney-Yin and resolves
Dampness from the Lower Burner. Water Passages™ addresses chronic urinary
infections occurring against a background of Kidney deficiency.

Clearing
The clearing formulae are used when the patient’s condition is characterized primarily
by the presence of a factor. Even though there may be some deficiency, we may
sometimes concentrate our attention on clearing factors before tonifying the body’s
Qi; with herbal supplements (as opposed to acupuncture) this is often especially
desirable.

Benefit the Sinews™ is a formula for chronic Bi syndrome with Dampness, Phlegm and
Blood stasis.

Break into a Smile™ is a variation of the classic prescription Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang
Bupleurum Soothing the Liver Decoction which moves Liver-Qi and eliminates stagnation.

Bright Spirit™ is a formula aimed at moving Qi and resolving Phlegm in the chest.

Buddha’s Hand™ is a formula that moves Qi in the Middle Burner, subdues rebellious
Stomach-Qi and resolves Dampness.

Clear Channels™ is a formula for chronic Bi syndrome with Damp-Heat.

Clear Lustre™ is a formula for the skin. It cools Blood, resolves Dampness, expels Wind
and clears Heat from the skin.

Clear Qi™ is a variation of the classic prescription Su Zi Jiang Qi Tang Perilla Making Qi
Descend Decoction to make Qi descend.

Clear Yang™ is a variation of the classic prescription Ban Xia Bai Zhu Tian Ma Tang

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are dietary (food)

symbolic meaning. They are not to be interpreted in a medical or literal physiological sense.

THE THREE TREASURES®, WOMEN’S TREASURE® AND LITTLE TREASURES® l suwenherbs.com 23

 Pinellia-Atractylodes-Gastrodia Decoction which extinguishes Wind, resolves Phlegm
and subdues Yang. Clear Yang™ is aimed at the elderly a combination of Phlegm and
Liver-Yang rising.

Drain Fields™ is a variation of Huo Po Xia Ling Tang Agastache-Magnolia-Pinellia-Poria

Decoction which is used in exactly the same way as Ease the Muscles™, to which it
may be preferred when there is Dampness without Heat.

Drain Fire™ the name of this formula is self-explanatory: it drains (or ‘clears’) Fire
(from the Liver and Heart) and must therefore be used only when there are clear
manifestations of Fire.

Ease the Muscles™ is a well-tested variation of Lian Po Yin Coptis-Magnolia Decoction.

This formula is effective in eliminating Damp-Heat. It can be used in all cases when the
condition is predominantly characterized by retention of Damp-Heat.

Ease the Muscles™ formula is ideally suited to resolving Dampness and clearing Heat
from the muscles (muscle ache with feeling of heaviness), from the head and from the
Stomach and Spleen.

Expel Toxic Heat™ is a formula specifically aimed at addressing Toxic Heat.

Limpid Sea™ this formula is a variation of Er Chen Tang Two Old Decoction which is
the classical formula to dry Dampness and resolve Phlegm. This formula can be used
as a general formula to dry Dampness and resolve Phlegm in many different locations
of the body.

Peaceful Sunset™ is a formula aimed at clearing Liver-Fire, cooling and moving

Blood, subduing Wind and resolving Phlegm-Heat. This formula is specific for elderly
people with symptoms of Liver-Fire, Blood Heat and stasis, internal Wind and Phlegm.
This combination of factors is common in old people because there is an interaction
between Phlegm and stasis of Blood. Also, in old people, Phlegm-Heat is often
associated with Liver-Fire and Liver-Wind, with the rising Fire and Wind carrying Phlegm
with them. The tongue and pulse pictures of this condition are very typical: the tongue
reddish-purple, swollen with a dry-sticky yellow coating, and the pulse full, slippery
and wiry.

Red Stirring™ is a variation of the classic prescription Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang Blood-Mansion
Eliminating Stasis Decoction which moves Blood and eliminates stasis in the chest.

Separate Clear and Turbid™ is a variation of Bi Xie Fen Qing Yin Dioscorea Separating
the Clear Decoction. This supplement addresses deficient and sinking Spleen- and/or
Kidney-Qi.

Welcome Fragrance™ is a formula which resolves Damp-Heat and Toxic Heat, expels
Wind from the nose and sinuses and also tonifies Qi.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are dietary (food)

symbolic meaning. They are not to be interpreted in a medical or literal physiological sense.

 Calming the Mind
Calm the Shen™ is a variation of Gui Pi Tang Tonifying the Spleen Decoction which is
used for Blood deficiency.

Clear the Soul™ is a variation of Wen Dan Tang Warming the Gall-Bladder Decoction.
This formula is aimed at addressing a background of Phlegm obstructing the chest
and therefore the Lungs and Heart. The key features of this formula are emotional
tension deriving from Lungs and Heart and causing a feeling of oppression of the
chest, a swollen tongue with a stomach crack in the centre and a thick-sticky yellow
coating, and a slippery pulse in the middle positions.

Nourish the Soul™ is a variation of the classic prescription Suan Zao Ren Tang Ziziphus
Decoction that nourishes Liver- Yin and calms the Mind. Nourish the Soul™ addresses
Liver-and Heart-Yin deficiency.

Open the Heart™ is a variation of Ban Xia Hou Po Tang Pinellia-Magnolia Decoction.
This formula is often cited as one to move Liver-Qi when, in fact, its clinical use is really
to deal with stagnation of Qi in the chest deriving not so much from the Liver as from
the Lungs and Heart.

Release Constraint™ is a variation of the classical prescription Yue Ju Wan Ligusticum-

Gardenia Pill. Release Constraint™ is effective in dealing with stagnation of Liver-Qi,
especially in men.

Root the Spirit™ is a variation of the classic prescription Yin Mei Tang Attracting Sleep
Decoction. It is aimed at addressing a deficiency of Liver-Blood and/or Liver-Yin: this
leads to the Hun being unrooted.

Searching Soul™ is a formula that tonifies Qi, Yang and Blood and specifically Kidney-
Yang and Liver-Blood in order to stimulate the ‘movement’ of the Hun.

Settling the Soul™ is a variation of the classic prescription Long Dan Xie Gan Tang
Gentiana Draining the Liver Decoction which drains Liver-Fire. This variation also
resolves Phlegm and calms the Mind.

Soothe the Shen™ is a formula that is a variation of the classic prescription Gan
Mai Da Zao Tang Glycyrrhiza-Triticum-Jujuba Decoction which calms the Mind in
conditions of Qi and/or Blood deficiency. I use it against a background of Qi or
Blood deficiency

Releasing the Exterior

or Wind-Heat.

 Heat deriving from an invasion of Wind. Compared to the formula Ringing Metal™
that is for the Qi Level of the 4 Levels, Clear Metal™ can also address the Ying Qi Level.

Forsythia Powder. This variation deals with the acute stage (Wei Level) of an invasion
of Wind-Heat.

Patterns: Dampness in the Centre and muscles, and Spleen-Qi deficiency.

Actions: Resolve Dampness, tonify Qi.

Tongue: Sticky-white coating.

Pulse: Slippery and weak.

Classical antecedent: Huo Po Xia Ling Tang (Agastache-Magnolia-Pinellia-Poria Decoction).

Differences from classical antecedent: Stronger action in resolving Dampness from the

(which original formula does not do).

NOTE: Although Prosperous Earth also addresses Spleen-Qi deficiency and Dampness,
Drain Fields should be used when the Dampness is primary to the Spleen deficiency and
therefore the pulse is slippery and the tongue is swollen. If the Spleen deficiency is primary
to the Dampness, then Prosperous Earth is appropriate.

Difference between Liver-Yang rising and Liver-Fire

between Yin and Yang with Yang rising ● Wiry pulse
excessively
● Tongue Red with redder sides and thick-
● Wiry pulse yellow coating
● Tongue depends on underlying cause.
Could be pale if there is Liver-Blood Xu

Liver-Yang rising is an imbalance between Liver-Fire is a totally Shi condition. Fire is

Yin and Yang with rising rebellious Qi; not a drained by bitter-cold herbs which also
true Shi condition. It is addressed with herbs move downwards (e.g. Da Huang, Huang
that subdue Qi (e.g. Mu Li, Shi Jue Ming, Qin, Huang Lian, Huang Bo, Xia Ku Cao,
Zhen Zhu Mu) and herbs that extinguish Pu Gong Ying).

 Liver-Yang rising Liver-Heat Liver-Fire Liver and Gallbladder
Damp-Heat

Liver-Heat and Liver-Fire share common characteristics. They both display a feeling of heat, thirst,
red eyes, etc. Liver-Fire is characterized by a tongue that is deep-red and with a thick-dry-dark-
yellow coating. Liver-Fire differs from Liver-Heat in four ways:
1 It is more intense.
2 It affects the Mind more.
3 It may cause bleeding.
4 It dries more.
It is important to understand that Drain Fire is for Liver-Fire and Liver and Gall-Bladder Damp-Heat
rather than Liver-Heat.
