bubble_chart Formula Principles

Essence generates qi, and qi generates spirit. Therefore, when kidney essence is deficient, yang light dominates alone. When yang light dominates alone, intense fire consumes qi, and there is nothing to generate spirit, causing dimness and unclear vision. Wang Bing said: "Strengthen the ruler of water to control yang light." Therefore, use Prepared Rehmannia Root, Cornus, Schisandra, Chinese Angelica, Moutan, and Alisma, which are thick in flavor, to enrich yin and nourish the kidneys. Enriching yin will naturally lower fire, and nourishing the kidneys will naturally generate essence. As for Chinese Yam, it is used to benefit the spleen and cultivate the mother of all things. Poria with Pine is used to nourish the spirit and generate the essence of clear illumination. Bupleurum is used to raise yang and direct the qi of mental activity to the eye socket. Sun Si-miao said: "For those with eye diseases after middle age, it is better to tonify than to purge." This can be said to enlighten countless generations.
