Fatigue, bloating, and brain fog from weak digestion
Six Gentlemen
Supports Relief From
Six Gentlemen is a foundational formula for individuals experiencing fatigue, bloating, and digestive discomfort due to a weak spleen and stomach. Common symptoms include gas, nausea, poor appetite, and phlegm buildup—often worsened by cold, damp conditions or eating heavy foods. This formula supports smoother digestion and helps restore energy by tonifying spleen qi and transforming dampness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this formula strengthens the spleen's ability to transform food and fluids, preventing the accumulation of dampness and phlegm. It’s especially helpful when weak digestion is contributing to both low energy and mucus-related issues.
How It Works Holistically
Six Gentlemen builds upon the classic Four Gentlemen formula, with additional herbs to harmonize and regulate the digestive system. Codonopsis and Bai-Zhu Atractylodes help tonify spleen and lung qi, promoting better nutrient absorption and fluid metabolism. Ginger and cardamom warm and awaken the digestive system, while tangerine peel and costus root help move stagnation and reduce gas and fullness. This warming and drying action also helps reduce phlegm associated with spleen qi deficiency.
The blend is particularly suited for cold and deficient constitutions with symptoms of damp accumulation, such as heaviness, foggy thinking, loose stools, or post-meal fatigue.
When Six Gentlemen Is Right for You
Six Gentlemen may be ideal if you often feel tired, sluggish, or bloated after eating—especially when symptoms are paired with poor appetite, nausea, or mucus production. It's especially well-suited to those with cold, damp digestive patterns or spleen qi deficiency contributing to chronic fatigue or respiratory phlegm.
Long-term use is typically needed to strengthen and rebuild spleen qi and digestive resilience.
