bubble_chart Formula Principles

Treating physical weakness by warming therapy for nourishing qi; essence in sufficiency should be treated with thick-flavor tonics. For those with deficiency fatigue today, warming qi can generate fire, and replenishing essence can lead to soggy diarrhea. Although Liuwei, Siwu, and Shengmai are commonly used, they are not suitable in this case. This formula uses prepared Polygonum multiflorum as the sovereign herb to consolidate essence and nourish blood, offering the benefits of Rehmannia without its stagnating effects. Pig kidney serves as the minister herb to tonify the kidneys and generate essence, promoting blood production without harming the stomach. Hyacinth bean and millet sprout nourish spleen yin without drying lung metal, while Salvia and lotus seed restore harmony between the heart and kidneys without depleting yin blood. Peony root, with its sour and astringent properties, soothes the liver, and plantain seed promotes urination without dispersing essential qi. These are all supporting ingredients. Combined into a formula, it supports the spleen, protects the lungs, and gently tonifies the liver and kidneys. It is highly suitable for those with deficiency fatigue, insufficient yin, poor appetite, and excessive phlegm.
