Ren shen yang ying tang

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Ok what are the differences in ren shen yang yin tang, ren shen yang ying wan, and ren shen yang rong won?

Which one is actually the “ginseng decotion to nurish the nutritive qi”?

Ren Shen Yang Ying Tang is translated as the “Ginseng Decoction to Nourish the Nutritive Qi”. Ren Shen Yang Rong Wan and Ren Shen Yang Ying Tang are the same formula… Ren Shen Yang Ying Wan is the same formula as well but it generally is used to refer to the patent remedy which can also be translated in english as “Ginseng Nourish Ying-Qi Pills”. They are all the same just different names for more marketing purposes than anything…

In case some people didn't get it, the last word could be found in many different formulas and it means the following in mandarin:


Tang = decoction/tea


Wan = pills


Pian = tablets
