Emperor's Teapills -A famous classical formulafor disturbed shen

Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan (Emperor's Teapills)

Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan (Tian Wang Bu Xin Pian, Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan, or

Emperor's Teapills, ) is a famous herbal formula in traditional Chinese

medicine for replenishing the blood and Yin to strengthen heart functions.

This formula treats

minor complaints associatedwith sleep and stress. The

Chinese medical

understanding sees this

condition as "kidney and heart

not communicating." To treat

this condition, one must

nourish the blood and body

fluids, cool the heart, and

calm the mind.


2/20




In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the heart controls the blood and stores Shen

(the spirit), the kidney provides the source of Yin and Yang energy for the whole body,

including heart. When the heart function is weak with respect to Yin and blood, Shen

(the spirit) does not rest well and causes restlessness. Additionally, one may have

warm and moist palms/sole, dry mouth or even mouth and tongue ulcers, and dry stool.

Tian Wang Bu Xin Wan (Pian) is composed of multiple herbs that either nourish Yin,

or blood, or calm the mind.

Tian Wang Bu Xin Wan has been indicated in China Pharmacopoeia2 for nourishing

Yin and blood, and tonify the heart to tranquilize mind.

breast,

Medicalfunction:

Medical function:

(1). Expectorant effect

In studies with mice, a water decoction of 15g/kilo of body weight, taken internally, had an

expectorant effect. This could be because the ingredient saponin stimulates the mucus lining

of the stomach. This in turn triggers the bronchii to secrete more mucus. According to the

traditional Materia Medica, the part of yuan zhi that has been used is the skin of the root. But

now the whole root is used, including the middle part. But according to chemical ingredients,

the skin of the root and the middle part are different. With mice, using the skin alone, the

smallest effective amount is 1.25 grams/kilo. Using the middle wooden part of the root alone,

the amount of 50 grams/kilo has no effect at all. The wooden part of the root contains very

little saponin -- only 4 per cent of the amount contained in the skin. There is also a report that

1 gram /kilo of yuan zhi decoction infused into the stomachs of anesthetized dogs had no

expectorant effect.

Medical Function:

1. adrenocortical hormonefunction As early as 1946 gan cao extract showedthe characteristics ofmineralcorticoid.Glycyrrhiza is metabolically convertedto glycyrrhetic acid (GA). GA, when incubated in-vitro with adrenal glandcells increases DHEA production.

2. effects on digestive system: (a). anti ulcer (b). anti convulsion. (c). promotessecretion of insulin. (d). protects liver from toxin.

3. anti inflammation 4. anti allergy 5. anti cancer: Saponins stimulate the immune system and inhibit Epstein-

Barr virus expression and possess in-vitro (in the test tube) anti-canceractivities. Epstein_Barr virus is associated in certain cancer development.Glycyrrhiza also containsquercetinthat has anticancer effects. Glycyrrhizalowers serum testosterone levels and correspondingly increases estrogenlevels by inducing two enzymes called 17--hydroxysteroid dehydrogenaseand aromatase thus inhibit prostate cancer cells.

6. anti virus and bacteria: a. anti HIV, anti HBV b. anti amoeba and bacteria 7. effect on blood vessels: a. lower blood lipids. Both saponins and licoflavones

are known to bind to cholesterol and bile acids and have surfactantproperties.

glycyrrhizin is beneficial in chronic viral hepatitis glycyrrhizin was effective in inhibiting Pseudomona Aeruginosa where

anbiotic failed.2

Glycyrrhizic acid, its potassium and calcium salt provide the sweet tastes ofglycyrrhizin. The herb contains 5 to 11% of glycyrrhizin and 3 to 7% of Glycyrrhetinic

Acid.

Glycyrrhizic acid can be hydrolized into two molecules glucuronic acid and onemolecule 18 b-glycyrrhetinic acid.

It also contains 24-hydroxyglycyrrhetic acid [1] , licorice saponins A3, B2,C2,D3, F3,
