Shi Quan Da Bu Pian (十全大补片) is a classical Chinese herbal formula used to replenish Qi and Blood while gently warming the Yang. This well-rounded tonic supports vitality, stamina, and overall constitutional strength, especially for those with signs of cold and deficiency.

Originally recorded in the Imperial Grace Formulary of the Tai Ping Era, Shi Quan Da Bu Pian is based on the foundational formulas Ba Zhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction), Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction). It is further augmented with Astragalus (Huang Qi) and Cinnamon bark (Rou Gui) to warm Yang and strengthen Qi.

This formula is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing:

•  Chronic fatigue or low physical energy
•  Pale complexion and cold sensitivity
•  Weakness of limbs or lower back
•  Poor appetite, spontaneous sweating, or low immunity

The formula features a harmonizing combination of Qi tonics—Dang Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, Gan Cao—with blood-nourishing herbs such as Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao, and Chuan Xiong. The addition of Huang Qi and Rou Gui targets deeper Yang deficiency and improves circulation and warmth throughout the body.
