Shumu Liujunzi Tang

Shumu Liujunzi Tang (疏木六君子汤) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formula. It appears to be a variant of the classic Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction, 六君子汤), which is widely used for tonifying Qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, transforming phlegm, drying dampness, circulating Qi, and harmonizing the middle Jiao. The standard Liu Jun Zi Tang contains six herbs—Ginseng (Ren Shen or Codonopsis/Dang Shen as substitute), White Atractylodes Rhizome (Bai Zhu), Poria (Fu Ling), Pinellia Rhizome processed with ginger (Ban Xia), Tangerine Peel/Chen Pi, and Licorice Root/Gan Cao[1][2][3][4][6]. The prefix "Shumu" in "Shumu Liujunzi Tang" suggests it may be a modified or regionally adapted version of Liu Jun Zi Tang; however, no direct information about this specific formulation's unique ingredients or modifications was found in available sources. Therefore, it should be considered a combination herbal formula based on Six Gentlemen Decoction principles.
