1. As the ancients said, phellodendron bark without Anemarrhena, and malaytea scurfpea fruit without walnut kernel, are like jellyfish without shrimp.
2. Li Shi-zhen said: The life gate is located in the center of the two kidneys, serving as the origin of life and the master of ministerial fire. The kidneys and life gate are interconnected, storing essence and disliking dryness. The walnut kernel, resembling this in form, with its green-black skin and juice, thus enters the northern direction, assisting malaytea scurfpea fruit in moistening dryness and regulating blood, ensuring that essential qi is internally abundant and the blood vessels are smoothly regulated, thereby naturally curing various diseases.
