White Tiger Decoction (bai hu tang) is a white powder that has been known in Traditional Chinese Medicine for nearly two thousand years, and has long been used to treat symptoms that we now associate with blood sugar regulation. The basic formula includes 4 ingredients: gypsum, anemarrhena root, licorice root, and rice. To these, the ancients occasionally added ginseng, an herb of nearly mythical qualities but traditionally very expensive and difficult to obtain.
Today, we know a little more about the role of these ingredients, but some of their actions have yet to be fully understood. Gypsum is calcium sulfate, and calcium helps to stabilize blood sugar. It may also help prevent both insulin resistance and obesity. Anemarrhena root is known to help regulate blood sugar levels and fortify the pancreas. Chinese licorice root is used to strengthen the stomach and spleen, and also to harmonize and reduce the harsh effects of many other ingredients.
Nonglutinous rice is credited by the Chinese to help restore the natural acid balance of both the blood and the intestinal tract. However, where the ancients sometimes used ginseng, we now use eleuthero root (often mis-named "siberian ginseng"), which is both easier to grow and less expensive than its fabled asian namesake, and also better understood for its specific effect on regulating blood sugar levels. Together, these ingredients help the body provide stable, consistent energy for a healthy life!
