It is an impressive formula because of its dual action as both nourishing itself while at the same time strengthening the capacity of the Spleen and Stomach to digest and assimilate food. Grow and Thrive fosters robust growth by supporting the adequate assimilation and smooth passage of food through the digestive tract. This formula supports the Spleen, Lung and Kidneys, harmonizes the Stomach and secures prenatal and postnatal Essence, supporting healthy growth and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 32\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 32\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderlying most of the challenges facing infants and young children is the immaturity of their digestive functions. After breathing, the second act that a newborn baby engages in is to suckle the mother’s breast. The sucking response activates the entire digestive tube from the lips to the anus, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two fundamental insufficiencies that underlie the evolution of all disharmonies of Yin and Yang, Qi and Blood, \u003cem\u003eShen \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eJing\u003c\/em\u003e, and they are deficits of prenatal and postnatal Qi. Our endowment of Original Qi (prenatal) is one over which there is little, if any, control. But the capacity to generate sufficient or even a surplus of Acquired Qi (postnatal) is a consequence of the child’s constitutional endowment combined with parental behavior and the environment that one enters from the moment of birth. This is why it is so important to preserve and protect the fragile integrity of a child’s stomach and intestines during the first year of life and until age seven or eight, at which time the permanent teeth appear, marking, according to the \u003cem\u003eNei Jing\u003c\/em\u003e, the completion of the first stage of the life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese Herbology, the early life of the child is dominated by the activity of the Middle Burner: the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach. Until a child is about one year of age, he or she is mostly Stomach – a small, jolly, energetic eating machine. As this Middle Burner-dominated being grows beyond the first year, Upper and Lower Burner functions awaken, such as manipulating, exploring walking and talking. But all these behaviors develop from the center: the Spleen-Stomach and Middle Burner. \u003cstrong\u003eGrow \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eand Thrive \u003c\/strong\u003esupports the vigor and capacity of the Lung, Heart, Kidney and Liver Networks, which depend upon the postnatal Qi generated by the Spleen and Stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Nutritive Qi \u003cem\u003e(Ying) \u003c\/em\u003egenerated by the Spleen Network is the basis of the Defensive Qi \u003cem\u003e(Wei)\u003c\/em\u003e, disruption of Stomach Qi will lead to weakened resistance to external influences such as Heat, Cold and Wind \u003cem\u003e(Wai Yin \u003c\/em\u003eor \u003cem\u003eWai Xie)\u003c\/em\u003e.

It separates the clear Yang, which rises up to nourish the body, from the turbid Yin, which descends as waste to the Lower Burner. The clear Yang transforms food and drink into an abundance of Qi, which then moves upward and outward toward the extremities, nourishing the skin, Yin, viscera and Blood. When the Qi of the Spleen is weakened, Dampness accumulates in the Middle Burner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShen Ling Spleen Support focuses on the pattern of Spleen Qi deficiency, which leads to internally generated Dampness. It supplements the Spleen and Stomach without damaging the Yin, improves Qi transformation, clears accumulated Dampness from the Middle Burner and fortifies the Lungs. It is indicated for the individual who feels weak and heavy, sometimes with shortness of breath, and occasional abdominal distension, fatigue, loose stools or poor appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Asian ginseng root and rhizome, White atractylodes rhizome, Poria and honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome comprise the formula\u003cstrong\u003e Four Gentlemen\u003c\/strong\u003e Decoction (Si Jun Zi Tang), a well known formula to tonify the Qi and strengthen the Spleen. Unlike many other Qi building formulas that are warming and drying, \u003cstrong\u003eFour Gentlemen\u003c\/strong\u003e is harmonious and moderate in nature, effective at addressing any pattern where Spleen Qi deficiency is the root. White Asian ginseng root and rhizome strongly tonifies the primal Qi of the five organs, nourishes Yin, strengthens the Spleen, tonifies the Stomach and tonifies the Lung Qi. White atractylodes rhizome tonifies Spleen Qi, dries Dampness and supports healthy water metabolism. It addresses occasional accumulation of fluids affecting the digestion and occasional reduced urination, both due to Spleen deficiency and the Spleen’s inability to transform and transport. Poria tonifies the Spleen, eliminates Dampness and calms the Heart Spirit. It supports healthy urination, harmonizes the Middle Burner and transforms Phlegm. Honey fried Chinese Licorice root and rhizome tonifies Spleen Qi, clears Heat and resolves Fire. It also moderates and harmonizes the actions of the other herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other herbs in the formula further supplement the Spleen, transform Dampness, harmonize the Stomach and fortify the Lungs. Chinese yam rhizome and Lotus seed tonify and augment the Spleen and Stomach, tonify the Kidneys, stabilize the Essence, nourish the Heart, and calm the Spirit. Hyacinth bean strengthens the Spleen, nourishes the Stomach, transforms Dampness and harmonizes the Middle. Platycodon root opens and disseminates Lung Qi, dispels Phlegm, benefits the throat and guides the action of the other herbs into the Lungs, preventing Lung Qi deficiency, a condition that commonly follows Spleen Qi deficiency. Chinese amomum fruit warms the Middle, transforms Dampness, strengthens the Spleen, and addresses Qi stagnation affecting the Spleen and Stomach. Job’s tears seed facilitates the resolution of Dampness, strengthens the Spleen and clears Damp Heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShen Ling Spleen Support\u003c\/strong\u003e can be combined with any other formula when further support of the Spleen Qi and increased Damp draining properties are desired.
