Sijunzi Tang Wan (simplified Chinese: 四君子汤丸; traditional Chinese: 四君子湯丸) also called the Four Gentlemen, is a brown pill used in Traditional Chinese medicine to "replenish qi and invigorate the functions of the spleen".[1] It tastes slightly sweet. It is used where there is "deficiency of qi of the spleen and stomach marked by anorexia and loose bowels".[2] SiJunzi Tang Wan is the base for many spleen qi deficiency formulas in Traditional Chinese medicine.[3]
