According to current EU legislation, this website can no longer present statements which might give the impression that our herbs or mushrooms have any kind of medicinal effect, even though traditional Chinese medicine has existed for thousands of years and been tried by numerous patients. We’re also unable mention any effects confirmed by contemporary scientific studies. Nevertheless, we trust in the common sense of our customers. Detailed information on herbs and fungi can be looked up online in publicly accessible sources. For example, valuable information is available on www.tcmencyklopedie.cz.
The Clean Granary tincture is based on Jian Pi Wan, a blend used in traditional Chinese medicine.
This traditional blend promotes Pi Qi (spleen energy). We can very loosely understand the spleen as a synonym for digestion. This understanding doesn’t correspond exactly to the anatomical spleen found in the upper left region of the abdomen. ‘Chinese spleen’ converts food to Qi (energy) and Xue (blood). They’re used as our organism’s fuel. In much the same way as petrol for a car. If these Pi (spleen) transformation and transport functions are limited, they produce little fuel. The second problem with impaired Pi (spleen) is it creates too much dampness. It then manifests itself as Tan (mucus) or a tendency to become overweight.
Strengthens Pi Qi (spleen Qi)
