The Six Gentlemen herbal formulation is one of the oldest formulas in Chinese Medicine. And like the name suggests, it consists of six powerful Chinese herbs that are known to revitalize the Spleen. The Spleen in Chinese Medicine is understood to be the center of the digestion because it is the source of your daily Qi, which is required for performing your daily tasks. In the West, we call it "energy". When our energy is low, we resort to stimulants like coffee or power drinks. It could be said that The Six Gentlemen Plus Teapills is Chinese Medicine's solution to this "energy" drainage. The The Six Gentlemen Plus Teapills has two additional herbs from the original "Six Gentlemen" Formulation. Those two herbs, Mu Xiang and Sha Ren, specifically help with phlegm, indigestion, bloating, water retention and even acid reflex, making this formula a double edged sword. It not only deals with the original Qi deficiency of the Spleen, but it also deals with the water stagnation that is often the result of a weak Spleen.
