Shi Quan Da Bu Wan

Shi Quan Da Bu Wan, also known as Shiquan Dabu teapills, is a Chinese classic herbal formula. In Japanese kampo, it is known as "Jūzen-daiho-tō" . It is commonly made into Chinese patent medicine. It is composed of two famous formulas which tonify the blood and the qi plus the addition of huang qi and rou gui.

Variations

The formula was published in the "Tai Ping Imperial Grace Formulary" in 992CE.
There are many variations of the formula proportions. Each maker of Chinese patent medicine changes the proportions of the herbs slightly. The proportions in the Japanese kampo formula are standardized, however. Some herbs may be changed also. For example, rén shēn may be replaced with dǎng shēn.
The formula was also changed slightly when it was borrowed as a Japanese kampo formula. Some Chinese species of herbs were replaced with herbs found in Japan. For example, bái zhú was replaced with cāng zhú.
