Spleen Meridian is comprised of Chinese herbs that enter the Spleen Meridian. They strengthen digestion & proper movement of foodstuffs through the system, balance body fluids, decrease inflammation, stop vomiting & diarrhea, & relieve pain. Healthy Spleen function is responsible for whole body energy and muscle strength. The Spleen is damaged by the emotion “worry” & over-thinking, & dysfunction in the Spleen increases these emotions. Strong Spleen function favors clear thinking & analysis. This formula is great for those prone to digestive upset & weakness, recovering from a digestive illness, or needing balanced digestive support & improved metabolism; also for over-thinkers & those with a tendency to worry.

Zoi Medicinals™ tinctures are alcohol and vegetable glycerin extracts of non-toxic herbs. Zoi Medicinals™ formulas contain 10-18% alcohol. Alcohol has been used as a solvent in herbal tinctures for centuries. It extracts active ingredients from the herbs that are not water-soluble, such as essential oils, alkaloids and resins. It enables the tincture to be fast-acting, potent, shelf-stable for long periods of time, and enables their "grab and go” properties (easily portable, ready to take, no refrigeration required). Zoi Medicinals tinctures use organic ethyl alcohol that is USP certified. It is the same alcohol found in vanilla extract (used for cooking), other tinctures, and liquid homeopathic remedies. The dose is very small and can be diluted into water or other drink making the final alcohol content less than 0.5%, which is similar or less than, the amount of alcohol in a cup of kombucha. All herbs used in the manufacturing of Zoi Medicinals™ products have been tested for heavy metals, bacteria, fungus, and pesticides.
Directions and Dosage
- Use standard dose daily for consistent energy support and to improve the body’s ability to handle stress.
- Use standard dose daily for injury and illness recovery.
- Use standard dose every 2 hours in times of stress and when extra energy is required.
Dosage
Liquid tinctures are rapidly absorbed by the body and may be taken directly by mouth or in a small amount of water or juice. If alcohol content is a concern, a standard dose (1.5 ml) in one cup of water dilutes the alcohol content to less than 0.5%.
The standard, adult dose is three droppers full (1.5 ml) three times a day, or as directed by your health care professional. A dropper full is drawn by full compression of the dropper bulb (the dropper may not appear “full”).
- Standard adult dose (100-150 lb) – 3 droppers full (1.5 ml), three times a day.
- Standard adult dose (>150 lb) – 4 droppers full (2.0 ml), three times a day.
- Standard child dose (30-100 lb) – 1 dropper full (0.5 ml), three times a day.
For some, it may take several weeks to notice an effect. Consistency is more important than dose, so we encourage you to take some tincture each day even if you can’t keep to a regular schedule. As your body responds to the tincture, you may decrease the dose, accordingly.
Cautions
- With minor stomach upset, take with food.
- Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding, unless directed by your health care practitioner.
- Not to exceed five droppers full at a time.
- Discontinue use if any new symptoms appear, including symptoms of allergic reaction.
- If experiencing minor headache or other discomfort, reduce the dosage to 1⁄3 of starting dose. Gradually increase the dosage each day until you reach to the desired dosage.
- Every body is different, as the formula alters internal processes, your best dosage may change (always stay within the recommended dosage range).
