What does it do?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Heart controls the Blood and stores Shen (the Spirit), and the Spleen absorbs the nutrients from food and transports them to the Blood. When the Heart function is weak, one may develop signs that include Blood deficiency, poor sleep, mental fogginess, and a pale complexion. When the Spleen function is weak, digestion is impaired, and consequently, the Blood is not well nourished and may not hold well in the blood vessels.

Gui Pi Pian (Wan) strengthens the Spleen and the Heart, nourishes Blood and Qi, and calms the mind. How it acts in modern biochemical terms is not yet understood. Gui Pi Wan has been indicated in China Pharmacopoeia for use in the case of Heart and Spleen deficiency, whose presentation may include these several characteristic signs: 1. trouble in staying focused and easily forgetting what is learned; 2. not falling asleep easily; 3. lack of energy with a pale face; 4. loss of appetite. This TCM pattern of deficiency is often observed in those who study hard (students) or overwork and feel overwhelmed.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Calm Again I Bought this for my daughter who has been struggling with emotional & mental issues for a very long time. Someone mentioned that maybe have her Spleen checked. So since I am a Firm Believer in Active Herb products, I decided to order this for her. It was worth a try. I've noticed she's sleeping better. More calm spirited & becoming more interactive. Thank You. She will continue to stay on this Regimen

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Spleenvive I have been taking Spleenvive and Yinvive Eyes for a Spleen deficiency and a Yin Deficiency that was affecting digestive issues and my vision. I have definitely experienced improvement with my vision and previous mild eye dryness as well as improvement with digestive issues like bloating after meals. I will continue to order from active herb for all my herbal needs!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Brilliant It does help me stay asleep for longer. But it takes a few days for it to work.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like I sleep more deeply when I take these. I feel calmer and less run down too. Also, I like that this brand uses dang shen instead of ren shen. When I take gui pi tang with ren shen, it is too heating and I end up getting small sores on my tongue. Not with these!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gui Pi Greatness I decided to give it a try after reading the reviews and trying another brand and I must say I am genuinely impressed how this actually works. After about a week or so I started to feel a sort of happiness and energy to do something like my hormones changed. I’ve been able to keep a more calm mind and not be so stressed out and it’s helped me out with school. Will continue buying more and spreading the word.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from No noticeable differences.... but seemingly best of brand names. Took product as directed but no noticeable results for my yet undiagnosed leg problems. I'm pretty healthy already so not totally surprized. Pros of this product: I've assumed as it is not listed in ingredients, that this is one of the few chinese herbs that DOES NOT contain Talc. Talc is a known carcinogen and often can cause cancerous effects depending on what type/quality of Talc they use. As China is not regulated for this.... etc...

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does what is supposed to Given that it suggests several bottles as a initial course of treatment, I wanted to wait before reviewing. I note that my digestion has improved and that my cycle isn't so debilitatingly heavy. I also notice that I am feeling a bit calmer and sleeping a bit better. I've only been taking it about six weeks. My previous experience has been that TCM tonics can take time before one experiences the full effect. I take 6 of the tablets, twice a day on an empty stomach. I will continue through my fourth bottle and reassess. So far, so good.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well! I have been using this product for about 3 months. About 4 times a week, I take 6 tablets once a day in between meals 4-6 ounces of water. It helps me feel more stable and like I have my feet on the ground. Literally my spleen energy and digestion feel better! Just great on days when I feel uneasy! Thanks so much for making such a potent version of this formula!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from I’m feeling better. I’ve taken this once daily, taking the recommended number of tablets. It’s been a good addition to my selection of formulas from Active Herb, and it’s played a role in my feeling better. In fact, I think it complements some of the other formulas. This formula is suitable for me based on some of my ailments, imbalances, and symptoms. I’m pleased that it’s vegan.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from my go-to for general energy & life support According to my Chinese medicine practitioner, most people are spleen deficient because of daily life stress and challenges; juggling work, home life, etc. This formula is my go-to and always helps my system work straight. I take 5-8 of these once a day; twice a day when I feel I need more energy support.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Helps with digestion Haven't been using this very long but one thing I noticed right away is that when I take 5 with breakfast I have no digestion issues. I usually get some pain and gurgling after my first meal of the day but with these it was completely calm and quiet. Definitely a favorite!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better Digestion with Strength Spleen I took Gui Pi Pian for improving my spleen function in digestion. Guang Ci Tang's Gui Pi Pian is the best one I can take for that purpose. I did try other brands but I don't feel good for it. So I will stick with Guang Ci Tang herbals.

    Product Q&A

    My herbalist has always directed me to take the Pian but you are out of stock right now.  Can i take the Wan?  I don’t understand the difference.

    Asked by: Smntra
    Pian are tablets, Wan are little round pills, like BBs.

    Everybody loves your products. Some people say that as soon as they stop taking them, the symptoms are back. My question is: are these formulas only treating symptoms then and not healing the underlying conditions?

    Asked by: Agnes
    Hi, Thanks for the question. The formulas do work to restore the underlying balances of various kinds. Even you quickly feel the noticeable change but often times you still need to take a longer period for a complete restoration.

    I'm currently taking yinvive and hawthopower.  I would like to take spiritcalm and spleenvive in addition to the ones I'm taking now.  Would it be safe to take these four formulas at the same time?  I'm not on any medications.  Thank you.

    Asked by: 2westies
    Thank you for your questions. We do not see any contradiction to take them together. If it is a concern, you can try to take them at different time points.

    I am taking a kidney supplement and a liver supplement. Does this interact with any specific herbs that I should be aware of? The ingredients are too long for me to paste in my question. I would like to start taking but I need to know if I should wait.

    Asked by: msnat118

    Will this ( or any other formula ) stop or slow down my period which has been going on for 5 weeks. I am 51, perimenopausal and this is the first time this has happened. I do have a fibroid and ovarian cyst. Thanks

    Asked by: Mslynn

    Is it possible that Spleen Vive could cause me to feel itchy?

    Asked by: Jani

    Will this be helpful for blood deficiency?
