Main benefits
  • Pattern identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation below the diaphragm (Ge Xia), specifically in the region between the diaphragm and the umbilicus where the Liver and Spleen organs reside in classical anatomy.​

  • Name and function: The name 膈下逐瘀汤 means “Drive Out Stasis Below the Diaphragm Decoction,” indicating its specialized function of breaking stasis and moving Qi in the middle abdomen to relieve fixed masses or pain.​

  • Core strategy: combines potent Blood‑invigorating herbs with Qi‑regulating herbs to treat “fixed abdominal lumps” (Ji Ju) in TCM theory, where long‑term stagnation has caused tangible accumulations.​

  • Key ingredients: Includes Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Chi Shao, and Mu Dan Pi to break Blood stasis; Wu Ling Zhi and Yan Hu Suo to relieve pain; and Xiang Fu, Wu Yao, and Zhi Ke to powerfully move Qi in the chest and abdomen.​

  • Region-specific focus: Unlike Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (chest/upper burner) or Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (lower abdomen), this formula targets the middle jiao area (liver/spleen/stomach region), making it the primary choice for stasis patterns manifesting in the hypochondrium or upper abdomen.​

  • Classical indications: In traditional texts, it addresses palpable masses, fixed stabbing pain below the ribs, and abdominal distention that does not resolve with simple digestion herbs because the root cause is “congealed Blood.”​

  • Classical heritage: Recorded in the Qing‑dynasty text Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine), this formula exemplifies Wang Qing‑ren’s innovative approach to treating chronic, stubborn conditions by focusing on Blood stasis as the underlying pathology.

Zhenatura Liu Jun Zi Tang Extra Strong is based on the classical Liu Jun Zi Tang ("Six Gentlemen Decoction"), first recorded in the Song Dynasty text Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang. It is an evolution of the Si Jun Zi Tang, historically incorporating Citrus reticulata (Chen Pi) and Pinellia ternata (Ban Xia). In the context of traditional Chinese herbal history, this specific combination of botanicals was described as a method to "tonify Qi" and "transform Phlegm-Dampness" within the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions refer exclusively to the traditional characterization of the ingredients within the Chinese herbal paradigm and do not refer to modern anatomical structures or verified physiological effects.

Functional Dyspepsia and Gastrointestinal Disorders

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Randomized Controlled Trials and Meta-Analyses:

A meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials (1,149 participants) found that Liu Jun Zi Tang (LJZT) and its variant Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang (XSLJZT) were more effective than prokinetic drugs (such as domperidone, cisapride, and mosapride) in improving symptoms of functional dyspepsia. The odds ratio for symptom improvement was 1.96 (95% CI: 1.15–3.36) for LJZT and 2.63 (95% CI: 1.72–4.03) for XSLJZT. No significant adverse events were reported in any trial.
Studies confirm that LJZT enhances gastric emptying and improves chronic dyspepsia symptoms compared to placebo.

Mechanisms

LJZT may increase plasma ghrelin levels, enhancing appetite and gastric motility, though this effect did not reach statistical significance in all studies.
The formula contains herbs such as ginseng, atractylodes, poria, licorice, pinellia, tangerine peel, ginger, and jujube, which synergistically support digestive function and regulate gastrointestinal motility.

Adjunct in Cancer Therapy

LJZT is used as a complementary therapy to reduce side effects of chemotherapy, such as dyspepsia and neuropathic pain. Preclinical studies show that LJZT attenuates cisplatin-induced neuropathic pain and neurotoxicity in animal models by reducing oxidative stress, preserving mitochondrial function, and regulating PGC-1α expression.
