bubble_chart Formula Principles

In the formula, Ginseng serves as the monarch herb, used in conjunction with Cornus and Poria, greatly tonifying the original qi of the kidneys. When the original qi is vigorous, the ministerial fire naturally arises. Additionally, the use of Aconite Lateral Root and Psoralea, with their intense heat and pure yang properties, directly reaches the lower energizer to enhance the heat of the ministerial fire. English Walnut Seed, with its warm and moist nature, provides drastic tonification to the kidneys, strengthening the foundation of the ministerial fire. Moreover, the combination of Aconite Lateral Root and Ginseng is known as Ginseng and Aconite Decoction, a miraculous elixir for restoring primordial yang. The pairing of Psoralea and English Walnut Seed is called Qing E Pill, a superb formula for supporting the ministerial fire. To prevent the medicinal properties from being excessively hot and potentially harming the true yin of the lower energizer, a significant amount of raw Chinese Yam is used to nourish the true yin of the lower energizer and stabilize its qi transformation. As for Chicken's Gizzard-Skin, it not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, facilitating the movement of tonifying herbs, but also astringes the bladder, retaining the properties of the heat-inducing herbs. The combination of these herbs collectively achieves the effect of warming and tonifying kidney yang.
