Features: All qi-tonifying formulas originate from Si Jun, and all blood-tonifying formulas originate from Si Wu. However, the best formula for tonifying both qi and blood is Ba Zhen, which belongs to Gui Pi. Yan Yonghe established the famous Gui Pi Tang formula, known for tonifying qi, blood, spleen, and heart, based on the theory that "diseases of the two yin organs originate from the heart and spleen." In clinical practice, its effectiveness is remarkable, yet there has been no systematic research on this formula to date. The author comprehensively summarizes the discussions of this formula by medical scholars and clinical experiences, especially combining recent systematic studies on it. The book elucidates aspects such as the pharmacology of major herbs, the pharmacology of the compound formula, reformulation of the dosage form, and the treatment of internal diseases and other difficult conditions. The aim is to help readers master the clinical indications for Gui Pi Tang and the principles of treating diseases with it. This book provides detailed information with clear and concise explanations, emphasizing pharmacological research and clinical experiences. It is suitable for clinical physicians at all levels, researchers of traditional Chinese medicine, students and teachers of pharmaceutical sciences, and enthusiasts of traditional Chinese medicine.
