🌿 Folk Prescriptions

20 jujubes, 10 grams of green onion whites. Wash jujubes, split them open, and boil together with green onion whites. After boiling for 15–20 minutes, remove from heat and filter the liquid. Take once nightly, warm, and drink. Jujubes are sweet and moist, good for strengthening spleen and qi, nourishing blood, and calming the spirit. They are commonly used for palpitations, forgetfulness, and insomnia due to deficiency of heart and spleen. Green onion whites are the bulbous base of Allium fistulosum (onion), also known as "onion head." They are pungent, warm, and promote yang circulation. In this formula, green onion whites serve another purpose: jujubes are rich and greasy, so adding green onion whites, which are pungent and dispersing, allows jujubes to exert their tonifying effect without causing dampness or internal heat, thus preventing fullness and discomfort. This formula strengthens the middle energizer, boosts qi, nourishes blood, and calms the spirit, suitable for those with heart-spleen deficiency presenting symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, poor appetite, and restlessness preventing sleep.<Insomnia>
