bubble_chart Formula Principles

In the formula, Chinese Yam tonifies both the kidneys and lungs, and has astringent properties, making it highly effective for treating yin deficiency panting. Combined with Rehmannia and Cornus Fruit to nourish the kidneys and liver, it helps to regulate qi and relieve panting. Fossil Bone subdues yang and calms counterflow. Peony Root and Liquorice Root, with their sweet and sour flavors, transform into yin, and together with the cool, moist, and fluid-rich Persimmon Frost, they are excellent for nourishing yin. Cultivated Purple Perilla Fruit and Great Burdock Achene also clear phlegm and reduce counterflow, directing rebellious qi downward, thereby facilitating the rapid downward action of the medicinal effects. Combined into a formula, it collectively achieves the effects of nourishing the kidneys and liver, enriching yin, and relieving panting.
