The composition of Bao Yuan Qing Shi Tang is generally 40 grams of raw ochre, 25 grams of ginseng, 30 grams each of raw fructus gorgonian, raw yam and raw white peony, 10 grams of fried burdock and 7.5 grams of licorice. However, the medication should be added or subtracted by the doctor according to the condition, and should not be used on one’s own. In this formula, ochre is used to subdue the rebellious Qi, stop bleeding and cool the blood; Gorgon fruit astringes the Stomach Qi and prevents it from going upward; Chinese yam nourishes the Stomach Yin and subdues the rebellious Qi; Paeonia lactiflora nourishes the Blood and calms the Liver rebellious Qi; Burdock seed clears the phlegm and subdues the rebellious Qi, so that the rebellious Qi can be turned to go down.

These herbs work together to benefit the qi, strengthen the spleen, lower the rebellious qi and harmonize the stomach.
