Jianpi Lishi Jiedu Fang

Jianpi Lishi Jiedu Fang (健脾利湿解毒方) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. The name translates to "Strengthen the Spleen, Promote Diuresis, and Detoxify Formula." It is designed to address conditions characterized by spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation and toxin retention, according to TCM theory. The formula typically contains herbs that strengthen the spleen, promote urination or resolve dampness, and clear heat or toxins from the body. While specific ingredient lists for this exact named formula are not found in standard pharmacopeia sources, similar formulas often include herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala (Bai Zhu), Poria cocos (Fu Ling), Coix seed (Yi Yi Ren), Lotus seed (Lian Zi), Dioscorea opposita (Shan Yao), Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Gan Cao), Panax ginseng or Codonopsis pilosula (Ren Shen/Dang Shen), among others[2][5][7]. These ingredients work synergistically to tonify the spleen, drain dampness through diuresis, and clear internal heat/toxins. The mechanism of action is based on TCM principles: - Strengthening/tonifying the spleen improves digestion and fluid metabolism. - Promoting diuresis helps eliminate excess dampness. - Clearing heat/detoxification addresses symptoms like diarrhea or inflammation due to internal toxins. This type of formula is commonly used for symptoms such as chronic loose stools/diarrhea with fatigue, abdominal distension due to poor digestion ("spleen deficiency"), edema from fluid retention ("dampness"), and sometimes skin eruptions related to "toxin" accumulation[2][5].
