Clinical Manifestations
- Deficiency of Qi resulting in cold of the middle burner (Jiao) - Signs & Symptoms: abdominal pain alleviated by warmth and pressure, palpitations, fidgeting, irritability, a sallow and dull complexion, sore and cold extremities, and a dry mouth and throat.
- Tongue: pale, white coating.
- Pulse: a fine, wiry and moderate pulse.
Formula Rationale
MJ+ (Xiao Jian Zhong Tang) is designed to treat cold and deficiency of the middle jiao with the below clinical manifestations:
1) Spasmodic abdominal pain (cramping) due to interior cold generated from deficiency of the middle jiao - this type of abdominal pain is often relieved by warmth application or pressure. Other associated symptoms may include flatulence and loose stool.
2) Palpitations/fidgeting/irritability/and a dull complexion due to Qi & Blood being compromised by the internal cold & the deficient Spleen (middle jiao).
3) Sore/cold limbs: the deficiency in Qi & blood can cause disharmony between the Ying (nutritive) and Wei (defensive) Qi - resulting in muscles of the limbs not being nourished and warmed.
The Brown Rice Syrup is included instead of the traditionally used barley maltose. The complex sugar is the chief ingredient that warms the middle jiao, tonifies Spleen Qi, and nourishes Spleen Yin; it also soothes the Liver and moistens the dryness in the Lung.
Another chief herb - Gui Zhi (cinnamon twig) - warms the middle jiao and disperses cold.
Bai Shao helps to nourish Yin and blood and relieve distension. Zhi Gan Cao (prepared licorice) tonifies Qi and enhances the warming effects of other herbs.
Da Zao (jujubae) and Sheng Jiang (ginger) together harmonize the Ying (nutritive) and Wei (defensive) levels and tonify the Spleen.
