1. Warms the Medium Heater and Dissipates the Cold.

Recommendations:

According to the text of the source, it is recommended to grind the ingredients into powder and form pills with honey. The size of the pills should approximately correspond to the size of the yolk of the egg. Take 1 warm water pill three times during the day and twice at night. If swallowing pills does not cause a feeling of warmth in the abdomen, then this formula can also be taken in the form of a decoction.

Explanation:

Central comfort capsule is used for the Void and Cold of the Middle Heater, where the Stomach and Spleen are located. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation and raises the pure Yang. The stomach is responsible for taking and digesting food and lowers the cloudy Yin. If the Middle Heater is in short supply, which may be the result of Cold, then the raising and lowering functions of the Stomach and Spleen may be damaged, which can cause diarrhea and vomiting. The sensation of pain in the abdomen occurs due to Cold. Lack of appetite is the result of the Void of the Middle Heater and impaired digestive function.

For the treatment of this syndrome, plants are used that warm the Middle Heater, dissipate the Cold, tone the Qi of the Spleen and enhance the digestive function. The rhizome of ginger (Gan Jiang) is the main plant, warms the Medium Heater and dispels the internal Cold. Ginseng root (Ren Shen) nourishes the yuan (source) of Qi. The rhizome of the large-headed atractylodes (Bai Zhu) strengthens the Spleen and dries out the Dampness. Licorice root roasted in honey (Zhi Gan Cao) nourishes Qi and harmonizes the Middle Heater.

Central comfort capsule can also be used to treat blood loss due to Yang Spleen Void; when the spleen is deficient, it ceases to hold circulating blood inside the vessels. Clinical manifestations include: vomiting of blood, bloody stools, shortness of breath, fatigue, pale complexion, thin or insufficient large pulse of low strength. This syndrome of bleeding due to Yang Void can be treated by applying Li Zhong Wan with the addition of several other plants, such as Astragalus Root (Huang Qi), Chinese angelica root (Dang Gui) and Donkey Skin Gelatin (E Jiao); and replacing Ginger Rhizomes (Gan Jiang) with Processed Ginger Rhizome (Pao Jiang).

Central comfort capsule can be used in the treatment of chronic convulsions in children in the presence of symptoms of Void Yang Medium Heater. Chronic convulsions can be the result of birth defects, malnutrition, excessive consumption of cold food during illness or weakness after a serious illness.

Salivation or excessive formation of frothy saliva, which occurs during the recovery period from illness, occurs when the metabolism of water is disturbed due to the Void of Qi of the Spleen with Cold. As a result, body fluids move upwards, which leads to excessive salivation. Central comfort capsule  in a low dosage can be taken for a long period of time.

Cautions/Contraindications:

– Central comfort capsule is contraindicated in patients with the penetration of external Wind with Heat.

– This formula contains many warm and dry plants, so it will be contraindicated in conditions characterized by internal Heat with the Void of Yin.

– This formula should be used with caution during pregnancy, as it contains many warm and hot plants.
