yunpi lishi fang

Yunpi Lishi Fang (运脾利湿方) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. The name translates to "Spleen-Fortifying and Dampness-Resolving Formula." It is used in TCM practice to strengthen the spleen, promote digestion, and resolve internal dampness. This type of formula is typically prescribed for symptoms such as poor appetite, loose stools or diarrhea, abdominal distension, fatigue, and other signs associated with spleen deficiency and damp-dominant syndromes according to TCM theory. The specific herbal composition can vary but generally includes herbs that tonify the spleen (such as Atractylodes macrocephala), drain dampness (such as Poria cocos), and support digestive function. Mechanistically, these formulas are believed in TCM to regulate gastrointestinal function and improve fluid metabolism; however, their precise pharmacological mechanisms are not well characterized by modern biomedical standards.
