Tianwang buxin mini-pills



Tianwang buxin mini-pills (simplified Chinese: 天王补心丹; traditional Chinese: 天王補心丹; pinyin: tiānwáng bǔxīn dān), is a prescription in traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy. It is commonly made into Chinese patent medicine.

Variations

There are about 9 prescriptions the using same name. Current chosen one is in Volume 6 of "Jiao Zhu Furen Liang Fang"(校注妇人良方).

The formula was created by Hóng Jī (T: 洪基, S: 洪基). It was published in "Secret Investigations into Obtaining Life" (shè shēng mì pōu, T: 攝生秘剖, S: 摄生秘剖) in 1638. [1]

There are many variations of the formula proportions. Each maker of Chinese patent medicine changes the proportions of the herbs slightly. Some herbs may be changed also. For example, rén shēn (ginseng root) may be replaced with dǎng shēn ("poor man's ginseng"). The original formula also contained zhū shā (朱砂) (Cinnabar), which is banned by the FDA in the US. It is usually substituted with another herb or omitted entirely.
