Description:

A classic formula of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which the author is said to have been revealed in a dream by the Heavenly Emperor in the 16th century... It is designed to address insufficient nourishment of the heart and kidneys due to a deficiency of Yin and blood. A lack of Yin substances can lead to increased Yang activity, which loses its root in Yin and rises upwards as empty heat, where it disturbs the Shen spirit and leads to symptoms such as irritability or, conversely, tearfulness, heart palpitations with anxiety, night sweats on the chest, or hot flushes, insomnia, and memory problems. On the other hand, a lack of nourishment, which is the responsibility of Yin substances, can lead to fatigue, both mental and subsequently physical. These are often conditions associated with menopause in women and andropause in men, when the level of Yin in the body naturally declines. In men, Yin instability can also lead to premature ejaculation or nocturnal seminal emissions. The body lacks what would cool and moisten it, which is why the resulting empty heat or even fire can manifest as a dry mouth or ulcerations on the tongue (the tongue is the organ that belongs to the heart). Patients also suffer from constipation with dry stools.

After replenishing Yin substances and cooling the heat, the Shen spirit calms down, concentration, memory, and mood improve, and the patient enjoys restful sleep and sufficient energy again.
