Product Description

Details and Efficacy of Five Peel Formula

Five Peel Formula is a classic formula originated from ancient Chinese medicine, whose origin can be traced back to the “Zhongzangjing” written by Hua Tuo in the Han Dynasty, and enjoys an important position in the history of Chinese medicine, which are then crushed into coarse powder and decocted with water. It is a commonly used dampness-eliminating agent in Chinese medicine clinics, and it has been documented in the textbook of “Internal Medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine” of the institutions of higher education in medicine.

Unique Characteristics of Wu Pi San

The characteristics of Wu Pi San are mainly reflected in its unique compounding method and pharmacological effects. In terms of compounding method, Five Peel Formula adopts the idea of “acting on skin with skin”, that is to say, utilizing the “skin” part of herbs to treat skin and edema related diseases. This combination enables the drug to act better on the skin and subcutaneous tissues to achieve the effect of inducing diuresis, eliminating edema, regulating qi and strengthening the spleen. Specifically, Poria bark acts as a monarch drug to strengthen the spleen and seep away dampness, diuretic and swellings; Dabu Pi and Tangerine Pi act as subject drugs to move qi to eliminate flatulence and swellings, and to regulate qi, harmonize the stomach and awaken the spleen to resolve dampness; Ginger Pi and Sang Bai Pi act as adjuvants; Ginger Pi disperses the water qi between the skin and subcutaneous tissues to eliminate swellings and Sang Bai Pi purges and reduces the qi of the lungs and passes through the water channels, which work together in treating oedema, flatulence and other diseases.

Efficacy, Precautions, and Clinical Importance

Five Peel Formula has a wide range of significant effects and is mainly used in treating the skin-water syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness, stagnation of qi and water retention. Spleen deficiency and prevalence of dampness is a common pathological state in Chinese medicine, which is manifested by symptoms such as heaviness of limbs, distension and fullness of the heart and abdomen, unfavorable urination, and whitish and greasy tongue coating. By strengthening the spleen and inducing dampness, regulating qi and eliminating swelling, Wu Pi San can effectively improve these symptoms and normalize the metabolism of water and fluid in the body.

In clinical practice, Five Peel Formula is often combined with other formulae to enhance the efficacy. For example, for patients with obvious edema due to spleen deficiency, it can be added with Astragalus, Codonopsis, and other medicines for strengthening the spleen; for patients with liver depression and stagnation of qi, it can be combined with Si-Wei San to dredge the liver and regulate qi; for patients with menstrual oedema, it can be combined with Free and Easy San to dredge the liver and regulate the spleen and regulate menstruation.

It should be noted that although Five Peel Formula is highly effective, it needs to be used under the guidance of a physician. During the use of Five Peel Formula, patients should pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy, oily, cold and other stimulating foods. If discomfort occurs during the use of medication, should promptly go to a regular hospital to avoid delayed treatment.
