fu xiao mai 1 liang, zhi ke 1.5 qian, chai hu  4 qian,

shan zhi zi 3 qian.

Boil with water. One prescription a day, made into 3 servings.

 

Example of another adjustments to the formula:

Name of Formula: gan mai da zao tang jia wei (with added items),

zhi gan cao 5 qian, da zao 1 liang, fu xiao mai 1 liang ye jiao teng 1 liang﹐ bai zi ren 4 qian.
 

Note:

In these formulae,  qian = 3.75 g; liang = 37.5 g  (old traditional weight, used by most oversea Chinese and also in Hong Kong)

Lacking vitamin B12, folic acid may cause depression. Meat, eggs, and dairy produce are rich sources and dietary deficiency is unlikely except among vegans who do not use any food derived from animal product..

Folic acid is found in leafy vegetables, bean, lentils, beets, brussel sprouts, bananas, cantaloupes, tuna, asparagus, wheat germs, food yeast,  mushroom, spinach, broccoli strawberries etc.

According to a study by Taipei Medical University, gan mai da zao tang can increase the amount of serotonin and dopamine of lab mice, thus improved their depressed condition.

實驗結果顯示(1)E組與A組比較體重減輕,對水及糖水之飲量,總舔次數,舔效及舔速皆降低,排便次數多,不動時間延長,自發運動量減少,且血清 prolactin, cortisol濃度偏高,TSH, 5-HT以及腦內NE, DA, 5-HT濃度偏低;皆達統計上之顯著標準(p<0.05)。(2)C組與E組比較體重顯著增加,不同濃度的糖水飲量,總舔次數與舔速改變,其排便次數減少及不動時間縮短,而自發運動量增加。血清之prolactin濃度趨向正常,並能提高腦內NE, DA, 5-HT以及血清TSH, 5-HT的濃度。(3)B組除了不同濃度的飲量增加,血清之prolactin, cortisol濃度的降低,以及腦內DA, 5-HT濃度的提升方面不如C組外,其餘的統計結果皆與C組相同。(4)D組與E組比較可顯著增加體重,不同濃度的糖水飲量,總舔次數與舔速,而排便次數減少,但不動時間延長及自發運動量下降。可降低血清之cortisol濃度,並能提高腦內NE, DA以及血清TSH的濃度。
綜合以上結果(1)內源性憂鬱症動物模式顯示生理,行為以及病理的指標;而(2)甘麥大棗湯對內源性憂鬱症大鼠之體重,享樂效應,探索能力,自發運動量,血清TSH, prolactin, 5-HT以及腦內NE, DA, 5-HT濃度異常皆有改善作用;且(3)此藥方無amitriptyline抗憂鬱劑的過度鎮靜的副作用。

 [ 英文摘要 ] According to the depression animal model proposed by Vogel (1982), neonatal injection of clomipramine could induce abnormal behaviors similar to endogenous depression in human.
We used the same animal model to investigate the effects of Gan-Mai-Dazao- Tang (GMDT) on hedonic index such as sucrose consumption test (licking volume, total licking numbers, licks per ml, and licking rate), locomotor activities and exploratory behaviors measured by opto-varimex known as dark field test, concentration of serum endocrines such as T3, T4, TSH, testosterone, prolactin, cortisol, as well as 5-HT , and brain monoamines including NE, DA, and 5-HT. Clomipramine (15mg/kg, bid) was injected to Sprague-Dawley rats of 8 to 21 day-old for the experimental group, while normal control rats received normal saline (1ml/kg, bid) injection (group A, n=10). At 4-month of age, the experimental group was randomly divided into 4 subgroups receiving different treatments:

low dose of GMDT (1.0 g/kg, qd, group B, n=10),

high dose of GMDT (2.5 g/kg, qd, group C, n=10),

amitriptyline (10 mg/kg, qd, group D, n=10), and

normal saline (1ml/kg, qd, group E, n=10).


We measured the body weight, sucrose consumption behaviors (licking volume, total licking numbers, and licking rate), locomotor behaviors (stool numbers, freezing time, horizontal, vertical, and activity counts), serum endocrines ( T3, T4, TSH, testosterone, prolactin, cortisol, and 5-HT), and brain monoamines (NE, DA, and 5-HT) after the 2-week treatment course. Analysis of Variance was used to compare the mean values of parameters for five groups.
The results were as follows: Group E was significantly different from group A in body weight and all variables in sucrose consumption hehaviors, locomotor activity, serum hormones, and brain monoamines. B and C groups had significantly increased mean values of body weight than E group. For sucrose consumption behaviors, B and C groups showed significant increase of licking volume at 1% sucrose solution, but only significant increase at 5% of sucrose solution in group C was observed. The increase in total licking numbers and licking rate at water, 1% and 5% of sucrose solution in B and C groups was significantly higher than that in E group. For locomotor behaviors, B and C groups were significantly different from E group in stool numbers, freezing time, horizontal and activity acounts. For serum hormones, significantly increased level of TSH and serotonin in B and C groups compared to E group was found, Whereas decreased level of prolactin in C group compared to E group was found. For monoamines, an increased level of brain NE in B and C groups compared to E group was observed, while C group showed significantly higher level of brain DA and 5-HT than E group.
In conclusion, these data support the hypothesis that endogenous depression has abnormal sucrose consumption behaviors, locomotor activity, serum TSH, prolactin, cortisol, 5-HT and brain monoamine levels. GMDT improved the hedonic reactivity, locomotor activities and exploratory behaviors, abnormal levels of serum TSH, 5-HT, prolactin, and brain NE, DA, and 5-HT in endogenous depression rats. The therapeutic effects of D group was similar to that of C group, but it existed the over sedation effect.
