Excessive fire rises upward, and the lung metal qi cannot descend, leading to priapism that does not subside.
bubble_chart Formula Principles
This formula uses Scrophularia Root to purge the floating fire in the kidneys, and it is particularly effective when combined with Cassia Bark to guide the fire into its proper place and disperse the excessive heat. Like attracts like, and the fire naturally returns to its abode. Moreover, Ophiopogon Tuber aids the lung's metal energy in descending and clearing, thereby generating kidney water. When water is sufficient, the fire naturally subsides, and yang naturally returns.
